Or!JUT OF TELE PUBLIC JOURFAL3.

The Times comments upon the extraordinary trial which,

after occupying six days and producing a profound sen-
sation throughout all the neighbouring portion of Wales,
has just been concluded at Cardiff, and looks upon the
conduct of . the defendants, whether illegal or not, as
morally most objectionable, and of a kind which, were it
not fortunately confined to a comparatively small section
in the community, would be most pernicious to the
general interests of society. The admirably organised
system of proselytising which the Cardiff story has
brought to light is, to our thinking, the most dangerous,
and, perhaps, the strangest, part of it. Not only is
Esther Lyons moved about from place to place with
perfect seeney and ease, her father not being able tc
discover a trace of her, althongli he at once set
the police and subsequently the courts in motion,
but even her companion, Sarah Carver, is "spirited
away" and comfortably provided with a place under a
fictitious name, lest she should be tempted to betray her
accomplices. One reads with amazement, scarcely
knowing whether to be indignant or amused, the letters
—of which it is said there were about 700—in which one
pious proselytiser instructs the other, in the choicest
Scriptural Jangeage, how, by avoiding signatures and
surnames and the dangerous use of the Post Office, a safe
and secret arrangement may Le made for keeping a
daughter from her father. We rub our eyes, and ask if
we are really awake in the nineteenth century, reading
about the doings of respectable Wesleyan ladies.
Imagine their consternation and holy horror if it were
suddenly discovered that a similar system of prosely-
tising, equally well-organised, were carried on among
Roman Catholics, or, to put the case still more fairly, among
Jews ! Fortunately, the Jews are not given to prose-
lytising, but suppose, by way of retaliation, they took to
spending their money in giving a trip to the Continent, or
a comfortable situation, to all the young Christians who
think themselves ill-used or unhappy at home. And what
a picture would not the Rev. Mr. Thomas then draw of
the heartrending misery produced by Jewish fraud and
bribery in happy Christian homes ! The Thomases and
their friends may conscientiously believe that they are
doing God service, but if their example found many

imitators, society would be sorely troubled. We can only
find one excuse for them, and that is that they acted,
seemingly, from conscientious motives ; and when we
think how many improper and mischievous actions admit
of the same defence, we cannot see that the concession
greatly improves their case. We can only regret that the
legal penalty to which they have rendered themselves
liable is so inadequate to their moral and social offence.
The Telegraph declares that there never was a majority
which stood together better, which marched more hand-
somely, or fought more honestly, than the majority which
has carried the Irish Church Bill into law. The Tory
journals have complained bitterly of their straight hitting,
which reminds the historical student of Pompey's patri-
cian followers, who didn't like Ctesar's soldiers "because
they always struck at the face." When the Opposition
found that temptations, entreaties, and assaults were all
vain against the determined unanimity of the popular
party, they naturally, and almost cx officio, denounced
such perfect allegiance as "servility." And undoubtedly
their best hope now is that, as the question which
held the Liberal side together is settled, this
terrible organisation of fidelity will fall to pieces. In
any such calculation they will be miserably disappointed;
for it was not merely the Irish Church Bill, but Mr.
Gladstone himself, that has been the cause of so remark-
able a solidity. The House bequeathed to us by Lord
Palmerston was composed of "leaders who did not lead
and followers who would not follow ;" but Mr. Bouverie's
cynical epigram is quite out of date. Leaders now lead to
grand historical achievements, and followers follow with
ardour, with intelligence, and with a devotion at once
personal and patriotic. The Liberal strength thus forti-
fied, the conquest which we have already gained, how-
ever signal and beneficent, must be only an encouragement
to renewed efforts of progress. There is no great and
happy change which ought to seem impossible, with such
a Premier, and such a House. It is time to rest a MU*
to-day, no doubt, while we taste the delights of a whole
great region gained; but " to-morrow to fresh field and
pastures new."

The Standard says that a time-honoured custom, almost
inseparably connected with parliamentary institutions, is
this year to be violated. There is to be no Ministerial
whitebait dinner. It has been whispered in the lobbies,
and the clubs have taken up the dreadful rumour. Par-
liament will be allowed to expire without the annus'
fishy ceremony. There will be no trip to Greenwich or
to Blackwell. For once Ministers will forego their usual
treat, and the young herrings, or such of them as survive
will remain undisturbed. The most memorable of parlia-
mentary sessions, the first year of the Reformed House of
Commons, is to be distinguished with this daring inno-
vation. The whitebait dinner is disestablished. The
" Ship " or the " Trafalgar " will be shorn of a portion of
its endowments. There have been several reasons
assigned why this ancient and hallowed observance,
almost as necessary to the close of a parliamentary session
as a Queen's Speech to its opening, is this year to
be omitted. The ostensible cause is Mr. G'ad-
stone's indisposition. The real one who steal
fathom ? The First Minister is sick, and cannot dine.
The ceremony, robbed of his presence, would have been a
" maimed rite." On such an occasion, with the Irish
Church disestablished and disendowed, the feast would
have partaken of somewhat a funereal character. It
would have been a meeting of mules—an undertakers'
carouse. It was rightly judged, perhaps, that "to feed
were best at home." Peradventure it was dreaded lest
the ghost of the murdered Establishment might insist
upon taking its place at the banquet, scaring the guests
with its unbidden presence, dulling the festive wit of
Goschen and the merry humour of Argyll. To dine on
whitebait were a profanation with the corpse of the Irish
Church still above ground, "unhouseled, disappointed,
unannealed." Considering the former relations of Mr.
Gladstone to his victim, it would have been a little too
much to expect, even although he is member for Green-
wich, that he should preside at a dinner the object of
which was to crown the slaughter of the very principle of
which he had been the champion. A most judicious
indigestion, therefore, occurs to rob the season of its custo-
mary celebration, and to keep Mr. Gladstone decorously
at home.

The Star thinks that, considering the high rank that he
held in the late Government, the reserve shcwn by Lord
Stanley during the session is somewhat remarkable.
is replete with knowledge of every kind ; he can devour a
tough blue-book with an enormous appetite, and digest it
with incomparable facility ; and be is ever ready to
deliver a well-considered address on a really hard subject.
He is immensely strong in sociology, and on political
questions he has for the most part decided, though care-
fully formed, opinions. It is strange, then, that on so
great an occasion as the Irish Church debate he should
have persisted in obstinate silence. His excuse, andit is one
entitled at least to respect, is that he is the son of Lord
Derby. But the indulgence of feeling has entailed
considerable sacrifices. Political ambition is a jealous
mistress, and whosoever chooses her must give and
hazard all he bath. Lord Stanley might unquestionably
have done more had he been permitted by circumstances
to give full scope to his abilities. Those who choose the
position of independent members—a class that we gene-
rally regard with a feeling approaching to distrust—forfeit
their claim to power. Lord Stanley is at present, as
nearly as possible, an independent member; but we trust
that the time is not far distant when he will find his proper
place. Lord Stanley,no doubt, will have his opportu y.
The question is whether he will have the boldness to avail
himself of it. He seems to be rather timid in
action, but, on the other hand, he would always be
looked upon as a safe Minister. He will never startle
us like Mr. Disraeli, or carry a great measure like Mr.
C lads tone.

The Daily News says that among the many valuable
qualities which, w Mist they scarcely serve to propel, or
even to control, human fortunes, exercise a material
influence over human affairs, what is called charms of
manner holds a prominent place. It is one of those phe-
nomena—for it can scarcely be regarded as a substance—
which baffle definition, and we arrive at a comprehension
of it only by noting a number of instances in which v •
arrive at a common agreement as to whether it is present
or absent. And in nothing perhaps is there less difference
of opinion. It belongs largely to the female sex to keep it
alive, and it is another of the misfortunes of the present
age that so many women devote their abilities to its
extinction. No " fast " young lady, no young lady who
talks " slang," or affects in any way to be masculine,
can possibly have charm of manner, and it is equally
impossible for a man who has it to perfection to
maintain it long in their contagious company. How is it
possible to be gracious and deferential with those who are
gracious neithet: with you nor with themselves? F( r
charm of manner always implies a touch of reticence and
restraint, an instinctive habit of saying and doing what is
most agreeable in preference to blurting out the sugges-
tion of the moment, or pursuing a course the most com-
fortable or convenient. Nor can it be ,pretended that
there is in this any tinge of hypocrisy or affectation.
Good manners are an affair of disposition and habit just
as much as bad ones, and it would be as absurd to -accuse
a man cf affectation for speaking grammatically among
uneducated people as to accuse him of it for having
acquired a demeanour which contrasts favourably with
ruder fashions. To rule mankind, one must perhaps be
something more than " charming ;" but if one is called
upon only to consort with them, grace of manner must be
extolled as a very high form of social charity.
