-which have guided his public life —" essentially
Conservative as regards the main institutions of the
country, essentially reformatory wherever practical
improvement can be wisely effected—remain un-
changed." It may fairly be questioned if the right
hon. baronet is not in reality a better Reformer
I than more pretentious and fair seeming ones ; he
has the merit of consistency, and he is not led
away by the speeches of demagogues and the
shuffling expedients of the day. The greatest im-
provements are not those which are either effected
in haste or delayed as long as possible, and then
agreed to at the eleventh hour, through sheer

necessity.
Sir E. B. LYrroN has come forward with spirit,
and both in his address and speech -showed no re-
luctance to enter on the contest at the election,
or backwardness in applying himself to the onerous
duties that will await the new Parliament. It
would be well if more among the candidates would
display that fair estimate of their opponents, and that
desire to maintain good-will that distinguished the
speech of the right hon. baronet on Saturday.
Bitterness of feeling and party spirit carried to ex-
cess are quite out of character in the present day—
the intelligence of the age has pronounced against
them, and it is to be hoped that, so far
as possible, all such unseemly exhibitions may
be avoided in the approaching elections. Mr.
BAINES has issued his address to the electors
of Leeds, and speaks out boldly and decidedly in
support of his views. The advice which is tendered
by this energetic Reformer is wise and sound, and
many time-servers and prejudiced politicians will
do well to pay heed to it. Mr. BAINES winds up
his remarks with this impressive passage—" The
object of every friend of his country should be to
admit, not in a grudging spirit, but with a hearty
welcome, the educated, provident, and industrious
portion of the working class to the franchise,
and thus to bind them heart and soul to the
maintenance of the laws and Constitu-
tion." At the time of the Reform Bill being
passed many regretted that they had not
listened earlier to the words of warning which had
been given to them by the present observers and
far-seeing judges. It appears probable that there
will be a sharp contest for Oxford University, and
both Mr. Gladstone and his opponent are on the
alert. Notwithstanding much that finds disfavour
in his acts and speeches, many will regret if the
University is no longer represented by one so bril-
liant as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and it is
appropriate that Oxford should send to Parliament
so distinguished a scholar. Sir FITZROY KELLY'S
address is a very smart one, and tells some home
truths that those in office will not much relish. It
cannot be but that the common sense of the
community must be awakened to the shortcomings
of our present Cabinet, and the one potent spell of
being a supporter of Lord PALMERSTON will lose its
charm and influence. Sir F. KELLY denounces,
in appropriate language, the policy of Earl RUSSELL
in deluding weak nations with the hope of support
and then leaving them to the mercy of their foes.
Ministers are very much mistaken if they think
that the retrospect of their foreign policy will not
be most damaging to them on the hustings, while
their truckling conduct in domestic affairs will cover
with shame and reproach.

At this time of the year speculations as to the
prospects of the harvest begin to be rife. The
matter is so important to all classes of the commu-
nity, and depends so much upon causes entirely
beyond our control, that there is good reason for
anxiety and watchfulness. Englishmen generally
find plenty to say about the weather all the year
round, and what our insular awkwardness and re-
serve would do without the assistance of the meteo-
rological changes to help us over the difficulties of a
first introduction, a casual meeting, or the enforced
companionship of a journey, it is difficult to imagine.
But if the alternate frost and thaw of the winter
and the varying sun and rain of the spring serve to
occupy our idle moments, when the year moves on
to summer time the matter grows really interesting,
and town and country alike look at the midsummer
skies with watchful eagerness. A few years back
we had a thoroughly wet summer, a summer whose
damp and gloomy days were but too well remem-
bered in the scarcity of the winter. Then again, in
1863, we had a glowing season, which filled our
barns and granaries, and gladdened the hearts of
the poor. Last year was a singular specimen of
the variations of the English climate. It was dry,
so dry that the evaporation of the rain in falling a
,few feet made a perceptible difference to the meteo-
rologist, and yet so cold that the average summer
heat was not reached. The dryness produced a
sensible effect upon the turnip crop, which
was of a very inferior quality. The combined dry-
ness and dullness of the year was, however, more
seriously felt in its effect on the hay harvest, and
the deficiency is this and the turnips made cattle
provender so dear and scarce that the price of meat
rose to a terrible height. It is therefore no small
satisfaction to find the prospects of the haymakers
as yet very good. They have no lack:of sunshine to
complain of; and the rain for which they have begun
to sigh is apparently at hand. Hay Making in Wales
has already become general, and the crops give hopes
of being far superior to those of last year. In some
parts of South Wales the wheat is in full ear, and
the barley and oats are thriving. - in other parts of
the country, too, there are favourable indications,
and we mayyeasonably hope for a fair harvest—
that great Wan to the working millions. With the
present highirja. of lodging, which is more likely
to augment thaalist. climinish, the price of bread—
always important ttrthe poor+grows doubly in con-
sideration. There is, therefore, ground for thankful-
ness in the prospects of the year ; and we hope that
a few seasonable showers will speedily-remove the
only present cause for anxiety.

The annual dinner of the Social Science-Associa-
tion, which took place on Saturday evening, 'pos..
sessed some features of interest. It was rather a
celebration on behalf of the Society for the_Am.end-
ment of the Law, which is now incorporated with
the larger Association, than a mere general assem-
bly, and the presence of Lord BROUGHAM, the
great law reformer, and the venerable president of
both Societies, gave it especial importance. The
noble lord, in giving the toast of the evening, "The
Prosperity of the United Societies," took occasion
to remark upon the important law reforms which
had been carried this session. The concentration of
the law courts was a measure which the veteran
president himself advocated many years back ; but,
like other reforms, it has taken many long years to
effect. Another measure which Lord BROUGHAM
warmly approved of was the extension of equitable
jurisdiction to county courts, without which the
constitution of those courts was lamentably de-
ficient. Sir FITZROY KELLY, in speaking on the
same subject, remarked upon the great services
which Lord BROUGHA3I himself had rendered in the
good cause. Thirty years ago he made a speech
advocating certain reforms in the law, which
at the time met with strenuous opposi-
tion. The greater
lawyers part of the Judges and
other influential were opposed to those
reforms in toto, yet after the lapse of many years
the changes recommended by Lord BROUGIIII3f in
prin. iples which he
1828 became law. One of the
