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 aceept«l in the form which the Lords

. -
have given to it. This declaration on the part of the
Aliaistry 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
farm in which the Lords are willing to accept it. In that
ft rm it will go down to the Ct.mninons, and it remains to be
_ _ • _

destined, not only to be mzlngled by the prime enemy of the
bill, but to be spurned by the leader who had charge of it.
"I shall say `Nut coi;tent' to the question that the
rnamlile. stand part of the bill"—to spoke Lord
Granville—" in order to mark my disapproval of the

course your lordships have taken with theiill." Tl e bill
is now substtntially 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 Grauville's verdict on the
Government bill in the disguise which has been thrust
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 notwithstandin3, 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 incapac:ty of riflemen than we should the
i imapacity 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 110,000 men
are, of their own accord, under arms, prepared to protect
the country. Their cost to the nation is lees 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 al, n; our shores. In cur volunteer organisation
we possess a national fortress ; it is growing more impreg-
nable every yeas ; it is the physical pick of England,
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 he of the nature
to undergo a trial without an oversetling excitementof the
mind, is the model volunteer ; he is not exactly a soldier ;
he is a weapon of defence, and each July Wimbledon tells I

us 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
friendly or unfriendly competition.

The Telegraph declares that for Faraday's fame it
"or.; nothing whather England shall do him honour—
h :n that comparatively obsolete and clumsy fashion
is the only way that seems to have occurred to Mr.
T.oTe, or in the admirable arrangements for carrying on
his noble work which have suggested themselves to
hia brother students ; bat it matters a good deal to
i':ngland 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
rafter 1.11.,.n of glory; as if " the principle of this cuntry,"
or a dozesi otlo_Ts, could get n.6a tingle Faraday when we
wanted one. We are contented to meet Mr. T,owe on the
strauge moral pround which he has so oddly °linen,
in his Tetreat from. a :till more untenable position. lie
endud thus: "The nation-is not in an ascending scale
which is prod4lal of izs rewards." England, we
reply, is prodigal to raat,:,' mon ; it is only
when Elie has to deal science, and
the arts, that she shews herself the meanest aud 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 who
really render the loftiest services ; but we find- that the
ohl leaven is still strong, and that the old prejudices are
hard to kill. We have, perhaps, no ri Jilt to be surprised
at this ; but we have at least a right, as 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, secondly, by sophistical com-
monplaces to which such a brain should have refused a
- .
hearing'.

SPIRIT OP TEE PUBLIC JOURI`TLLS.

The Times remarks that the last act of theLordsin emu.
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 Establishmeht
sunny 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 a:I plainness and sincerity of thought and expression
on the ;)art 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 Parliamcnt and the ccuntry. None of
us supposed the nation had advanced so far in the pro-
gress of liberality as we new tee it has done. er .is
no humiliation in finding that the world is better. than
w•e had believed. Adopt the policy of providing resi-
dences and glebes for the pricsts and ministers of
Ireland, and Lords and Commons can easily be
reconciled. The grant of li,mses to Presbyterians and
Catholics w ill balance the conc(asion 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 rend
Lord Taunton's speech on Tuesday night. Why should it
not be adopted? Do the Ministry ohject 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 becam e 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 r mittnl to the Commons. -It must be
confessed that it hag undergone no inconsiderable modifi-
cations. It is eel r•ia y recognisable, hut perhap 3 that is
all that can be said in its favour. Dlsestablishment does
not tdmit of a greater or a less, and, so far as the bill
severs the union between Church and State in Ireland,
it has been left unaltered. Ent disestablish-
'pent admits of postponement, and the Peers did
'-. throw away the opportunity of staving off the
,wen though it were only for twelve
months. lis ,dowment, in the strict sense of the term,
is as lake arable of being toned down as disestablish-
went, but as the Peers were unwilling to disendow, they
substituted partial endowmnt for that almost total
deprivation of property with which the House of Commons
threatener' th disestablished Church. Practically, how-
ever, the a easure is now in the form in which the Lords
will ask the a ommcns to accept it, and, without neces-
sarily anti( p tti g a collision between the two Houses,
may feel confident- th: t if the bill is to become law the
Upper House must undo much that it has done.
The Daily 11"eu•s declares that the rapidity with which
the House of Lords have worked their way through it,
touching nearly every salient point, hut by no means im-
p; oving 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 mucli 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
C overnmentand of the Liberal partyin the Lower Chamber
to restore the bill to its original folm ; and unless in con-
ference the Lords shew themselves more reasonable than
in their own debates, we may expect an autumn session of

HOUSE OF COMMON6.—TiIIS
The SPEAKER took the cheir at 12 o'clock.
TRADE6' UNIONS, &c., DILL.
Mr. T. HUGHES moved the second reading of this bill.
' the object of which was co- relieve trades' unions from all
exceptional position in the eye of the law, leaving them
separated, like other bodies, to the general law of the
country when charges were preferred against them. It
also proposed to prevent the recurrence of illegal and ob-
jectionable acts on their part, and to enable them to
take measures for their protection against fraud iu a sum-
mary and inexpensive way before a justice of the peace.
He denial that trades nuious—in which strikes were un-
avoidablf were favourable to them, or that their opera-
tion Lad the effect of driving trade °et of the country. The
remedy proposed by the measure, which he had the honour
to ask the house to read a second time, was to
sweep away the combination laws, and to. allow masters
and workpeople to make their contracts with respect to
the manner in which work should be performed, and for
making such societies subject to the common law of the
country. The only other proposal of the bill was
to protect the funds of these societies, which
the EmbyzeleneeLt Aet passe I but year did not
sufficiently guard. He thought t lueee societies
deser era well of the couutry if on!y for the amouut of
:he did iu the way of b.mevoleuce. The Eagiucc:s'
Such ty had paid away no less a suns than ..C.00,300 in
supporting the members of their own body against the
privatious- caused by want of work and other eirctun-
stanc: s; the ironworkers had also p aid u; words of -CARR)
in support of th it meml.ees when iu want, and nume-
rous other sock ti, s had done equally large amounts
of benefit; and, if on no other ground, he
Loped that the house would read the bill
a second time if only on the grounds of expediency.
(Hear, hear.) If these largo trade societies were placed
on she same position as other hiendly societies, the most
beneficial results would follow, but if Parliament refused
them that which was but justice, there never would be
p.esca amongst the industrious classes of the country.
Mr. MUNDELLA seconded the motion.

Mr. MASSEY said that while the bill gave protection
to a large body of persons belonging to trades' unions,
yet he thought i. ought to be so arranged that the same
amount of protection ought to be given to those who kept
aloof from those societies. Ile did not believe that
trades' unions did anything like the benefits claimed for
them by those engaged in them. Tko great regulator was
supply and demand—(hear) —and he could safely assure
the house that the rate of wages did not gave, a true view
of the value of the work done,- bccause he could speak
from cer!aiu facts that in woks carried on by his father
abroad, th,.t in all cases where the highest price for la-
bour was paid there the work was better and more satis-
factorily performed than in cases where low wages were
only given.

11/41 r. FORS TER supported the second reading of ihe bill.
Mr. HENLEY said it was much to be regretted that as
the guiph was widening between the employer and tbo em-
-1,1,,yed Govcinment should have delayed introducing a bill
ou the subject, and also stood in the way of a private
member dealing in the matter.

The bill was then read a second time without a division

SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

Mr. RYLAND said as this bill had bees on the list for
a considerable time, and there did not appear to be the
least likelihood of its being passed during the present
session, he hoped the hon. member would now move the
discharge of the order.

Mr. T. HUGHES said he could not do so, and he should
bring the bill forward on Monday week.
The house agreed to the Lords' amendments to the
Beerhouses Act.

The other orders having been disposed of, the house
adjourned.
