SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS,

The Times remarks.that the last act of the Lords in com-
mittee has completed the transformation of the Ministe-
rial scheme. " What is to done?" is the question which
must receive the attention of Government during the
next week. The bill has passed through committee, it
will be reported on Friday, and though a strenuous effort
will be then made to reverse some of the decisions of
the committee, and in the matter of the release without
payment of the glebe-houses of the Establishment
many Liberal peers will now support the Government
who before voted against them, yet we have considerable
doubt whether any real modification of the bill
will be effected, and we are constrained to adopt
the conclusion that it will return to the Commons
practically in the shape in which it now stands. We
confess that we look upon this as a serious matter, calling
for all plainness and sincerity of thought and expression
on tho part of those who have to consider it. The solution
of the difficulty is not hard to discover if persons will
honestly confess the truth. Let the Government recog-
nise the wishes of Parliament and the country. None of
us supposed the nation had advanced so far in the pro-
gress of liberality as we now see it has done. T 1 en is
no humiliation in finding that the world is better than
we had believed. Adopt the policy of providing resi-
dences and glebes for the priests and ministers of
Ireland, and Lords and Commons can easily be
reconciled. The grant of houses to Presbyterians and
Catholics will balance the concession of the parsonages to
Irish Churchmen. Such a settlement would be easy and
satisfactory, and if anyone doubts whether it is demanded
by every sentiment of justice to Ireland, let him read
Lord Taunton's speech on Tuesday night. Why should it
not be adopted? Do the Ministry object to any appear-
ance of endowing error? The Duke of Argyll on Tuesday
night protested that he was not betrayed by this prejudice
into the doing of injustice. Is it because the opinion of
the country rejects it? We believe the country to be
ready and willing to support it. No. If the opportunity
be once more rejected it will be because the governing
powers of the country, being unable to rise above the
catchwords of party, dare not look openly and courageously
at the truth.

The Post observes that the House of Lords has disposed
of the remaining clauses in the Irish Church Bill, and the
measure has now substantially assumed the shape in
which it will be remitted to the Commons. It must be
confessed that it has undergone no inconsiderable modifi-
cations. It is cer' ain'y recognisable, but perhaps that is
all that can be said in its favour. Disestablishment does
not admit of a greater or a less, and, b 0 far as the bill
severs the union between Church and State in Ireland,
it has been left unaltered. But disestablish-
ment admits of postponement, and the Peers did
not throw away the opportunity of staving off the
vi' oa,y. even though it were only for twelve
months. lis adowment, in the strict sense of the term,
is as little capable of being toned down as disestablish-
ment, but as the Peers were unwilling to disendow, they
substituted partial endowment for that almost total
deprivation of property with which the House of Commons
threatened th disestablished Church. Practically, how-
ever, the measure is now in the form in which the Lords
will ask the ( ommons to accept it, and, without neces-
sarily antic"pAti: g a collision between the two Houses,
u e may feel confident th: t if the bill is to become law the
Upper House must undo much that it has done.
The Daily News declares that the rapidity with which
the House of Lords have worked their way through it,
touching nearly every salient point, but by no means im-
proving all that they have touched, is very remarkable.
The measure which will leave the Upper Chamber will be
of a very different character from that which entered it.
and much less acceptable to the country. It is quite
impossible that the House of Commons should assent to
the Lords' amendments. It will be the business of the
Government and of the Liberal party in the Lower Chamber
to restore the bill to its original form ; and unless in con-
ference the Lords show themselves more reasonable than
in their own debates, we may expect an autumn session of
an exciting character. The Peers have done their best to
spoil a measure which they prudently refrained from
rejecting. In the House of Commons the deformed must
be transformed. Lord Kimberley plainly intimated that
the bill would not be accepted in the form which the Lords
have given to it. This declaration on the part of the
Ministry will relieve supporters of the measure from any
anxiety they might otherwise feel at the fantastic tricks
of a capricious majority in the Upper House.
The Standard says that the bill has now received the
form in which the Lords are willing to accept it. In that
form it will go down to the Commons, and it remains to be
seen how Mr. Gladstone will deal with it. His opponents
have shewn great forbearance and made great sacrifices;
will h ) in return shew a little moderation and give up a
little of his own way, or will he throw the country into
confusion in order to exact an implicit compliance with his
individual will and pleasure? In a word, will he act like
a responsible statesman, or like a reckless demagogue?
'Time will shew ; we can only hope that the evil auguries
of his past career may not now be fulfilled.
Such as it now is, says the Star, the Lords have passed
the Irish Church Bill through committee. In dismissing
it they gave it the cruellest cut of all. They resolved by
HO votes against 00 that the surplus should be hung up
indefinitely, to be disposed of hereafter at the pleasure of
Parliament. A more slashing blow could hardly have
been aimed at the bill, but there was little virulence in
the debate which accompanied it. The preamble was
destined, not only to be mangled by the prime enemy of the
bill, but to be spurned by the leader who had charge of it.
"I shall say Not content' to the question that the
preamble stand part of the bill"—so spoke Lord
Granville—" in order to mark my disapproval of the
course your lordships have taken with the bill." TI e bill
is now substantially in the state in which it will be read a
third time. When this stage has been reached, as it pro-
bably may be on Monday, the Clerk of the House of
Lords will, in the course of the week, bear the bill back
to the Lower House. It will then be seen what response
the Commons mean to give to the emphatic " Not
content," which is Lord Granville's verdict on the
Government bill in the disguise which has been thrus
upon it.

The Herald, in discussing the volunteer meeting at
Wimbledon, observes that the importance of the volunteer
movement consisted in its spirit, and, all discouraging
influences notwithstanding, its spirit is better than ever.
The very breakdowns which have happened testify to the
earnestness of the public ; they have been marked, repro-
bated, and remembered ; we no more tolerate the insub-
ordination or incapacity of riflemen than we should the
incapacity or insubordination of regular soldiers. In the
volunteer establishment now existing Great Britain
has given a proof of her historical character. Where
artificial or purchased methods failed she helped
herself ; she put on a uniform, she sounded a bugle ; forth-
with recruits came forward, and at this date 170,000 men
are, of their own accord, under arms, prepared to protect
the country. Their cost to the nation is less than £200,000
a year. Of their importance to the empire, judging a
military force by its military exploits, we cannot of course
judge ; yet we may perhaps be right in saying that the
temper of a time when war is not imminent is more crucial
as a test than that of a period when an invader might be
hovering along our shores. In our volunteer organisation
we possess a national fortress ; it is growing more impreg-
nable every year ; it is the physical pick of Ellgland,
and we may trust to it, should the occasion ever be
created, for cool firing, accurate aim, well-judged
distances, ability to adapt movements to the
nature of the ground, and fearless exposure or safe
concealment at the proper moment. Wimbledon is their
grand school, although certain anniversaries may bring
out qualities different from those of the mere marksman.
The marksman, however, provided he be of the nature
to undergo a trial without an oversetting excitement of the
mind, is the model volunteer ; he is not exactly a soldier ;
lie is a weapon of defence, and each July Wimbledon tells
ns what may be expected from him. In point of fact, the
rifle makes the rifleman, and once perfectly instructed in
the use of his arm, the volunteer may doff his shako to
" the four quarters of the world," inviting them to a
:.i.iendly or unfriendly competition.
Tho Telegraph declares that for Faraday's fame it
-i.3 nothing whether England shall do him honour—
h « that comparatively obsolete and clumsy fashion
i 3 the only way that seems to have occurred to Mr.
.o WC, or in the admirable arrangements for carrying on
his noble work which have suggested themselves to
his brother students ; but it matters a good deal to
England herself. Mr. Lowe, to do him justice, seldom
cants and seldom talks sheer Philistinism ; but there is a
strong savour of both vices in such a phrase as this. "I
will say further, that the principle of this country has
been to have its citizens actuated by a feeling of duty
rather than of glory; as if "the principle of this country,"
or a dozen others, could get us a single Faraday when we
wanted one. We are contented to meet Mr. Lowe on the
strange moral ground which he has so oddly chosen,
in his retreat from a still more untenable position. He
ended thus : " The nation is not in an ascending scale
which is prodigal of its rewards." England, we
reply, is prodigal to many men ; it is only ,
when she has to deal with literature, science, and
the arts, that she shews herself the meanest and most
niggardly among the nations. She was beginning, as we
hoped, to grow ashamed of such defects ; to be a little
more discriminating in her judgment of the men vOlio
really render the loftiest services ; but we find that the
old leaven is still strong, and that the old prejtldices are
hard to kill. We have, perhaps, no right to be surprised
at this ; but we have at least a right, M Liberals, to
lament that when a national memorial was proposed to
one of the most illustrious of modern Englishmen, a
Minister of State should have endeavoured to discourage .
the proposal—firstly, by citing a " rule" which existed
only in his own brain, and, secohdly, by sophistical cora-
monplaces to which such a brain should have refused a '
hearinit.
