LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1853.

As usual Parliament is no sooner " up " than
several of the popular representatives are observed
" starring it"—according to histrionic phraseo-
logy—either among provincial friends or political
adherents. It is an admirable custom, a custom
not among the number of those " more honoured
in the breach than the observance," eminently
calculated, as it is, to promote good feeling be-
tween the people and their legislators. Already
we have remarked the laudable eagerness with
which Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR hastened to make
a clean breast of it with his constituents at
Glasgow immediately after the prorogation. It
has been intimated, moreover, that within a few
days the inhabitants of Sheffield will have
the satisfaction of welcoming amongst them
their distinguished member Mr. ROEBUCK, from
whose convalescent lips they may learn the
moral of the bygone session, as they were
wont to do of old from the mouth of his prede-
cessor, prior to his removal to the lonian Islands
in his official capacity as Lord High Commis-
sioner. Several other illustrations of the custom
here referred to will doubtless have to be recorded
by ourselves before we have far advanced in the
ensuing month of September. Meanwhile we are
by no means left without some such provocatives
of political retrospection. In numerous directions
may be observed occurrences suggestive of inves-
tigation into the past, and of anticipation in re-
gard to the future—from the balance of which
can alone be formed an accurate estimate of our
position. Viewing matters in this light, it is
impossible to close our eyes against the fact,
that an extraordinary apathy in reference to
many of the most important reforms, long
known to be in the largest sense of the
word desirable, has sprung out of the public
abandonment of principle by our leading states-
men, consequent upon the formation of the
Coalition Government, or as we have ventured, we
conceive not inaptly, to term it the Grand Joint-
,Stock Administration. Formerly we heard a great
deal about certain "large measures" of improvement.
Latterly we have heard of these "large measures"
absolutely nothing. The cuckoo cry listened to
at Carlisle, and other places, would seem in this
manner to have effectually lulled to sleep the ex-
hausted hopes of the community. We don't
lsee anywhere prospects, for example, of even
the most moderate extension of the Franchise.
'We don't see the glimpse of a probability of the
xedistribution. of the elctoral districts. We don't
see any Premise whatever of the prevention of

stead of revealing this staunch devotedn'se.gness to

what are railed their antecedents, they have ignored
some of those promises which have been the most
frequently reiterated. They have, by renewing the
income Tax to 1860, given the strongest plea for
its perpetuation. And so with a variety of other
questions of scarcely less importance. Insomuch
hay this been the system adopted for the most
part by the different members of the Coalition,
that but one of its chiefs has been enabled during
the past Session to speak out with anything like
his former independence. Lord Josh RUSSELL
has, of course, been compelled to address the
House pretty frequently, from the circumstance
of his position as its Leader : but, throughout
the whole of his later contributions to HANSARD, he
will be found to have been more than usually dry,
didactic, and reserved. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has
sat, for the most part, mumchance on the Treasury
.Benches. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT has been tongue-
tied. Mr. EDWARD CARDWELL has held his peace
in a manner the most exemplary. Sir CHARLES
WOOD has bungled through a laborious speech of
several hours' duration ; and Mr. GLADSTONE has
maintained his character in debate by the skill,
the pertinacity, by and the self-possession with which
lie
defended every clause in his great financial
scheme as Chancellor of
while these facts must be acknowledged,
Exchequer. But
owledged, and while
the ready arguments of mh
in remembrance, and while LOWEthe
ingenious
are borne
statements made from time
to time,OY
as cir-
cumstances required, by Mr. FITZROY,
are not
forgotten—it must be confessed that other princi-
pals and subordinates of the Cabinet in House
of _ ouse
like the majority of their of Commons, were, col-
leagues, quiet, chap-fallen, and consistent in their
Inconsistency. Precisely thus has it been, for
soxample, with two other Ministerialists not yet

particularised—Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH, the
mute, and Mr. RALPH OSBORNE, the dumbfoun-
dered.

The exceptional case, to which we have made
allusion, is manifestly, of course, the Right Hon.
her MAJESTY'S Chief Secretary for the Home
Department. He alone, among the whole of this
tethered cluster of statesmen, has preserved from
first to last his freedom of speech, his energy,
activity, promptitude, and independence. It was
quite impossible that Lord PALMERSTON could ever
be otherwise than conspicuous in any Cabinet, no
matter what the department to which he might be
nominated. But beyond all anticipation, the Noble
Viscount has rendered himself more notable as Home
Secretary than might have been anticipated by
even the most sanguine of his admirers. Through-
out the whole career of the Coalition he has been
the only one among its chief members who has
shown vigour of action and boldness of utterance.
Look at what has been done, listen to what has
been said, during the past session, and answer if,
in speaking thus, we are guilty of any extrava-
gance. Why, the only manly and energetic
speech delivered by one of her MAJESTY'S
Ministers in reference to the Eastern Ques-
tion was that noble speech derisive of the
paltry policy of Mr. COBDEN, condemnatory
of the arrogance of Russia, and declaratory
of the imperative need of maintaining at all
hazard the inalienable rights of Turkey, the speech
delivered the other evening by Lord PALMERSTON.
This, too,
upon a subject referring in no manner
to the affairs of his own department. Again, at
the civic banquet, his was the only voice that
ventured to rise above the whisper of official com-
monplace and political mediocrity. Nor has he
contented himself with talking, his energy as an
administrator having kept pace with his boldness
as a rhetorician. The fact is attested by the
closing of the London graveyards by a memorable
series of Orders in Council, as well as by the pas-
sing of the Act for the abatement of the Smoke
Nuisance. Pre-eminent in ministerial merit
among his colleagues during the continuance of
the Parliamentary session, Lord PALMERSTON is
the first of the principal members of the Cabinet
tointerrupt the silence consequent upon the
Prorogation. Elsewhere in our impression of this
evening will be found a report of the admirable
oration delivered by the Noble Viscount on the
occasion of his laying the foundation stone of the
new Athenaeum at Melbourne. The edifice
thereby commenced being intended to comprise,
within the limits of the same establishment, an
Infant's School, a Savings' Bank, and a Me-
chanics' Institution. The Home Secretary aptly
remarked that it was destined to be, as he might
say, "an epitome of the life of man, and an ex-
emplar of the civilisation and improvement of the
age." Nothing could possibly have been better
or more suitable than the observations
thereupon made by Lord PALMERSTON to
the inhabitants of Melbourne. One sugges-
tion only we would venture to thrust upon
the attention of the Noble Viscount in his
capacity as a Reformer—a suggestion that edi-
fices of this description might, through his instru-
ment.llity, become (what they are not now), in
deed as well as in name, Mechanics' Institutions.

Lord CAMPBELL'S address to his Moycullen
tenantry is both highly creditable to himself, as a
landlord, a senator, a Christian, and we may add
as a Legislator and a Judge, and is also worthy
of perusal by every Irish landlord and, tenant,
exhibiting, as it does, their respective duties in
the most generous and manly style. Lord
CAMPBELL knows his own rights, but fully under-
stands the rights of his tenants. He determines
to be fair to them, and never to press the letter
of the law to their injury, even in carrying out
improvements confessed to be desirable ; but, he
expects in return, that no one will ever oblige
him to resort to law, which he yet would do
rather than tolerate examples of wilful abuse of
his moderation. His health was proposed by
Mr. KENNY, the parish priest, whose conduct we
shall notice presently, with the commendation it
deserves ; and his Lordship, in reply, went
through all the topics most important to an Irish
tenantry at the present time.
He adverted to the painful results of the
famine, to the impossibility of many then paying
rents at all, but especially to that annoying state
of things when, with the mortgagee, the Receiver
of the Court of Chancery, the collector far the
poor rates, for the labour rate, and for the county
cess, all demanding to be paid first, the poor
tenant really knew not whom to pay ; and often,
and naturally, concluded that it was best to pay
none of them. " Tenants were afraid to sow or
to plant, they were afraid to have stock, even a
pig in their possession, lest it should be seized for
a rate ; but, gentlemen," said Lord CAMPBELL,
" I trust that these bad times have passed away
for ever ; now you know who is your landlord, you
know to whom you are to pay, and what you are
to pay, and everything that remains after that is
your own." This, after all the long series of un-
certainties and unsettlements in Ireland, is the
first ingredient of the remedy. That, indeed,
which the Encumbered Estates Court is so largely
furnishing. A clear understanding, with a rea-
sonable landlord, giving full assurance to honest
industry, but leaving no evasion for shifty idle-
ness, is the first desideratum of all.

And Lord CAMPBELL will be a reasonable land-
lord. He is above resorting to clap-trap with his
tenants. He tells them plainly, that to have his
estate divided into larger holdings would be benefi-
cial both to him and to them. Voluntary emigra-
tion will benefit both those who go and those
who remain ; the labourer remaining will cer-
tainly have a better demand for his labour, and
we begin to understand thoroughly now that
Canada to the poor Irish emigrant is a change
from starvation and almost compulsory idleness
to diet as luxurious as he can desire, and the in-
dependence and energy of fully-requited industry.
Lord CAMPBELL, however, will force none to
emigrate. He will be thankful if any are dis-
posed to enable him to join two or more tene-
ments till he can make a large farm out of them.
He believes that many would be much better off
working as labourers regularly for 2s. or 2s. 6d.
a day (what new wages for Galway !) than drag-
ging on a miserable existence, idle half the year,
on a small patch of land ; but he will sanction no
evictions ; he will not deprive men of their accus-
tomed means of support, and consign them to the
hedge-side or to the workhouse. Then as to their
rents, he wishes them to be " fair and moderate.
If any of them are too high let them be revised,
if any are insufficient they ought to be made fair ;"
The cordial cheering with which the double remark
Was received testifies abundantly that Irish cottiers
are as accessible to sentiments of fair play and
Justice as we who on this side the water imagine
we •
add were Irish
enjoy almost a monopoly of the virtue of
fairnes.

ciceand
Alluding to the improper influence of the priests
that Mr. KENNY would not interfere with their
at elections, and having expressed his conviction
by Mr. ENNY,
on his health being proposed by his Lordship, in
electoral proceedings more than himself, the
K sub-
ject was adverted to afterwards
by all
language as worthy of universal adoption
Catholic Priests, and by all Ministers of Religion,
as that of Lord CAMPBELL'S by Landlords. cc
Po-
lemics and politics he gladly left to others. I
shallconfine myself," said he, " to weeding out
those noxious weeds from the hearts and souls of
the People which cause a greater hayoo than those

that grow in the earth. I shall endeavour to '
make them sincere, and good, and moral Chris-
tians, sincere observers of the laws of GOD and of
the land." He hoped the day was coming when
Irish Ecclesiastics would take less part in politics
than they had hitherto done. Little good was de-
rived from it, and closer attention to their re-
ligious duties would be a more pleasing duty in
the sight of GOD than mixing themselves up with
politics. "Oh ! si sic omits." It is, however,
refreshing to hope, with Lord CAMPBELL and
Mr. KENNY, that a better era is commencing both
of Irish Landlordism and Irish Priestism. The ne-
glected duties of the former, and the overdone duties
of the latter have been fertile causes of Irish diffi-
culties. Circumstances, however, especially emi-
gration and a better proprietary, together with
the usual reaction against overstrained zeal, are
diffusing a tone of moderation amongst the majo-
rity of the community, which we may hope will,
in no long time, gain the entire ascendancy.
Lord CAMPBELL dealt as honestly with them on
the subject of religion as on every other ; and
while expressing the most tolerant and noble
views of religious liberty, he plainly told them of
his strong repugnance to the Ultramontanism of
some amongst them, a repugnance which, he re-
minded them, their Catholic ancestors would have
fully shared with him. " I am," said he, " for
equality in all religious persuasions, but shall be
always opposed to ascendancy. (Great cheering.)"
He pointed out with equal faithfulness, the injus-
tice of the suicidal opposition to the Queen's
Colleges, the purity of the motives of the Govern-
ment in establishing them, and the great advan-
tage to their children of giving them an education
which would open to them the path to the highest
offices of the State.

We trust this hearty, wise, and manly address
will produce an impression on the whole country.
It is but too seldom, as Mr. KENNY observed in
the opening speech, that landlords, especially
landlords of such rank, thus mingle with their
tenantry in Ireland ; and we share with him his
hope that the day would prove an epoch in mo-
dern (Irish) landlordism. Nothing anywhere can
compensate for a cordial understanding between
landlords and agricultural tenants ; and we are
happy to have the testimony of Lord CAMPBELL
from personal observation, that even in the " far
West" of Ireland the signs of diminishing religi-
ous animosity and increasing agricultural improve-
ment are everywhere visible. This betokens that
landlords and tenants are getting right, and Lord
CAMPBELL has done his best to expedite the pro-
cess.
