THE SCOTTISH PEERAGE.

That the House a Lords must soon be reformed
is becoming ever; day-more apparent. The. exclu-
sive hereditary system of the English peerage is
hardly likely to survive many years. The hybrid
hereditary-representative , plan of the Irish and.
Scotch peerages, with its anomaly of one-sided
representation, can hardly hold its own much longer.
And if these blots are not speedily wiped out, the
larger one of whether it is expedient that men who
" spend their days in riot most uncouth" should because
of an accident of birth have the power of controlling
legislation will be fully 'discussed. "H.,." who is evi-
dently an en th usiastic Scotchman, complains of another
anomaly. "The Scottish nobility," he says, "are
now, probably, as a body, the oldest in respect to
title, and the greatest in 'respect to wealth in the
country, yet do they not sit as peers of the
realm in a very invidious way? The Duke of
Buccleuch.sits there as Earl of Doncaster, the Duke
of Argyll as Baron Sundridge, and others in a similar
way; their great historicnames ignored in Parliament
in favour of English baronies (given them to secure
an entrance). Names such as the Earls of Morton,
of Moray, of Home, of Airlie, with which the whole
history of our land is ....illustrated, s:t but by occa-
sional representation. Those whose deeds have
ennobled their country, so to speak, are not them-
selves counted noble, or have no permanent place
among our senators, while those who have but
achieved a, personal success in law, in commerce, or
political service of a secondary order, are freely
admitted and perzhanently enrolled."

clearly-his scheme for retorm 01 zna syurszn
military enlistment and service. His idea, like Sir
Charles Trevelyan's, is that of a popular army, with
advantages to the soldier, a certain amount of free-
dom, and short service. But in giving his
opinion of enlistment to the House of Lords, ho
appears to have been misunderstood. His proposal is
to have the regular army and the militia brought as
far as possible into connection. He would have the
same period, and mode of enlistment in both, would
train the soldier apart from either, and then give
him the choice of which he would serve in, the one
being a home army and the other intended for
foreign service.

TIIE BISHOP OF SALISBURY.

The Rev. 11. P. Liddon writes to the Times to
correct the statement of the Pall Mall Gazette that
the Bishop of Salisbury has "broken down both in
mind and body." Mr. Liddon says that throughout
his long and painful illness the Bishop's mind has
been perfectly clear, although he has not been
allowed to attend to business. It is also untrue, so
far as Bishop Hamilton is concerned, that " persua-
sion and remonstrance have been exhausted in a
fruitless effort to induce " the Bishop and three other
prelates " to resign in order that efficient successors
may he appointed." No Ruch remonstrance from any
quarter has reached the Bishop or those about him.
Mr. Liddon adds :

"The simple fact is that the Bishop of Salisbury is a
man in the prime of life who has been struck down in the
midst of his work by a fatal illness. In resisting its
ravages his lordship's constitution has discovered a strength
and resources for which his medical advisers were unpre-
pared. More than three months ago it seemed as if the
struggle could only last a few days at most; and if the
Bishop had not insisted upon continuing to work in his
diocese in the autumn of last year, when he ought to have
been in bed or at the seaside, it is, humanly speaking, at
least possible that his life might have been spared for
many years to come."

The case of the Bishop of Salisbury has always,
except by the Pall Mall Gazette, been treated diffe-
rently from that of the other southern bishops—
Exeter, Winchester, and Chichester. It does not
follow that because a man has been struck down by
a severe illness that he ought to resign his post,
whatever it be: If there is hope of recovery within
a reasonable time, no one would ask him to resign
or blame him for not resigning. .But what does Mr.
Liddon mean by a ":fatal " illness ? If the case is
hopeless, surely the Bishop of Salisbury ought to be
included in the same list ash's other incapable brethren.
The Morning Herald asserts that the Bishop is so
much better within the last few days that it
is hoped he will soon be able to resume
his clerical duties, but Mr. Liddon, who is
the Bishop's examining chaplain, ought to know.
What, too, about the Bishop of Carlisle, who seems
to be quite incapacitated for work- ? Is this only tem-
porary, or is this northern diocese to be added to the
I:st of southern dioceses, which are without "respon-
sible episcopal government," whose people are in the
condition of sheep without a shepherd ?

EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL.

Mr. PENMAN moved the second reading of this bill.
Mr. S. HILL moved as an amendment that the bill be
lead a second time on that day six months.
Sir It. P. COLLIER thought that au unanswerable case
had been made out, and believed that the bill would have
a beneficial effect in obtaining evidence of truth.

Sergeant Dowse, Mr Vernon Harcourt, and Mr. Amphett
supported the bill, and the amendment was negatived
without a division, and the bill was read a second time.
HOSPITALS, &c., RATING EXEMPTION BILL.
Mr. WHEELHOUSE moved the second reading of this
bill.
Mr. GOSCHEN opposed the amendment on the ground
that if the hospitals were to be exempted from rates they
would be asked to exempt schools, working men's insti-
tutes, &c. Very many of the hospitals had considerable
estates, and if they were exempted the effect would be

serious.
Mr. SCLATER-1100T11 agreed with the objections
raised by U right hon. gentl,ing.n (Mr. (loselien), an,i
referred to the c»;:•6 of St. Thomas's Hospital, which Was a
very important and rich institution.
After a few observations from Mr. CAWLEY,
Sir M. BEACLI expressed his determination to orpoNi
he second reading of the bill, and spoke until a claimer to
x, wen by the rules of the house, the debate was
postponed.
The lieuPo adjourned at 12 minutes to six.

A meeting to organise a Reform League will
soon be held in Boston, called by William Endicott, jun.,
Edward Atkinson, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry V.
Poor, John W. Chandler, and James Dupel, most of whom,

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for- immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The speech made by Mr. Sumner in the Washington
Senate on the 13th against the ratification of the Alabama
treaty has been published. It does not contain anything
new on this dreary question ; but it is a sort of official
declaration that the chief grievance of the Americans
belongs to the class of grievances termed "sentimental,"
and it is, moreover, a sort of official declaration
that at present a settlement of the dispute is not
to be hoped for. The material injury, Mr. Sumner
declared, was not the greatest obstacle to recon-
ciliation. England had done America a great
wrong, and yet had never acknowledged it. This is the
one great source of contention between the two States.
Let England begin l y confessicn and contrition, and all
will yet be well. "Such a generous expression would be
the beginning of a just settlement, and the best assurance
of that harmony between two great and kindred nations
which all must desire." Mr. Sumner regretted the
necessity for these strictures upon a Power with whom he
would wish to be on the best of tei m 3. This, at all events,
serves to prove, if any proof were needed, how effectually
Mr. Reverdy Johnson has sold us. It is clear that if we
must begin by an acknowledgment of wrong, arbitration
is entirely useless. All that would remain would be to
assess the- damages.

Mr. Sumner's speech occupied two hours in delivery.
The Senate was in Executive Session, but the injunction
of secrecy was removed by special order. The one Senator
who voted in favour of the ratification was Mr. M'Creery,
a Democrat of Kenturky. Mr. Sumner estimated the
total loss for which Eng'and is answerable at twenty-
five millions sterling.

SHERE ALI AT UMBALLA.

The Times correspondent has carefully studied the per-
sonage who is now playing such a conspicuous part in the
policy of British India. lie believes that the countenance
of Shcre Ali betrays eigns of incipient insanity. But the
ruler of Affghanistan at present displays no small amount
of knowledge, and is by no means deficient in acuteness.
He was equal to a conversation on spherical geometry, and
was sagacious enough to see that the arms which the
Indian Government had given him were not equal to the
Sniders. Ire expressed his delight with the " terrific"
dress of the Highlanders, but remarked on its. indecency.
He has been charmed, like a true mountaineer, with the
bagpipes of the " Skatch " as he calls the Scotch, and con-
siders them the finest of soldiers. But the Irish seem even
snore to his taste, for, when told that that people are so
fond of fighting they will fight with each other when they
can get no other enemy, be shouted, " That is capital;,
that is like my people ; that is after my own heart."

THE HULL CONVENT CASE.

It is well known that the defendants in this case
have made an application to set aside the verdict on
technical grounds. But, looking at the state of the
cause list, it is not likely that this application will
be heard for several months. Meanwhile, Miss Saurin
has filed a bill in Chancery, praying that it may be.
declared that she was improperly excluded from the
convent, that the rights of the defendants in the
convent may be ascertained, that the property of the
convent may be realised under the directions of the
court and divided between the plaintiff and the other
persons entitled to it, that the defendants may be
restrained from selling their property, that some
proper person may be appointed receiver of it, that
in addition to a substitution for any part of the
relief hereby prayed, damages may be awarded to.
the plaintiff, that the defendants may be ordered to
pay the costs of this suit, and that the
plaintiff may have such further relief as-
she may require. The bill then goes on to
relate the history of Miss Saurin's connection with the
convent, and asserts that just before the late trial
Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Kennedy, knowing that they
had no good defence to the action about to be
brought against them, surrendered to two of the
Sisters their share in the convent property-; further,
that in order to render nugatory any appeal on
behalf of the plaintiff -to -.the authorities of the
Boman Catholic Church,. the defendants have since.
:the trial determined to break up the convent, and
are realising the. property. Of course *this. is Miss
Vaurin's:Version of ,the facts, but it is stated that by
filing this bill the completion of a sale of land
belonging to the convent, and valued at £5,000, has
been prevented.

ODIUM lIUSTICUIf.

It is not only the Church papers that fall foul of
each other; the agricultural papers are accomplish-
ing the same satisfactory feat. There is a feud, for
instance, between the Mark Lane Express and the
C'hamber of Agriculture Journal, because the former
cries down the Chambers of Agriculture which the
latter was started to represent. The first declares
that the Chambers are likely to do great mischief,
because they are composed of the landlords who
will advance their interests at the expense
of the tenants, and whose one great object is to get
into Parliament. The second denies both assertions,
and contends that the Chambers, especially the Cen-
tral Chamber, are obtaining for the agricultural class
generally an influence upon the Legislature which
that class never possessed before. At the next
meeting, to be held on May 4th, several most
important subcts will be discusse&—the Adulteia-
tion of Seeds Bill, the malt tax, local taxation, the
Valuation of Property Bill, county financial boards,
and the over-preservation of game. The agricul-
turists are Very sanguine that now Mr. Lowe has pro-
posed to take the shilling duty off corn, he will be
compelled by the logic of his own arguments to at
least modify the malt tax. The Chamber will sup-
port the recommendation of the Select Committee
that " until the amount of the malt duty can be
spared from' the revenue considerable benefit Would
ensue from repealing the tax on malt, and obtaining
an equivalent in the least objectionable manner from
beer." The resolution prefers that the tax should cease
to be imposed upon the raw material, barley, and that
it should be levied instead upon the manufactured
article, beer ; but it leaves the question open,
whether "in the least objectionable manner" would
be by a direct duty upon each barrel of beer brewed
for sale, with graduated licenses for private brewers,
or by licenses altogether for both public and private
breweries.

MAYNOOTTL

Mr. .Layard, like Mr. Gladstone, is called to
account for his opinions on the Maynooth clauses.
A Mr. Powell, who writes from Glebe-terrace,
Bermondsey, is the examiner. Mr. Powell asks Mr.
Layard whether he did not pledge himself not to
hand over . any moneys of the Irish Church to
" Roman Catholicity;" and if he did, whether he is
going to break his pledge by voting for the re-
endowment of • Maynooth. Mr. Layard replies that,
in his opinion, the Maynooth clauses are just, and
he breaks no pledge in voting for them. Mr. Powell
retorts to this that opinions are not facts. Maynooth
belongs to the Roman Catholics. Mr. Layard
pledged himself to hand over no Irish Church money
to the Roman Catholics. The 39th and 40th clauses
of the bill. provide that money " stolen" from the
Irish Church shall be given to Maynooth.
This is handing money to the Roman Catholics.
Mr. Layard is about to vote for it. "Therefore,"
exclaims Mr. Powell triumphantly, "I distinctly
charge you (Mr. Layard) with the violation of the
pledge you have given, which, in my opinion, mate-.
rially detracts from your position as an honest legis-
lator." To this very energetic charge the First Com-
missioner of Works makes no reply.
ANOTHER ARCHDEACON ON STATE CHURCHES.

---
Archdeacon Sinclair, vicar of Kensington, in his
annual charge to the clergy of Middlesex, took up
that irresistible subject, the Irish Church. His sub-
ject was " Progress." After referring to the different
kinds of progress, literary, scientific, and political,
the Archdeacon turned to the question of Church
Establishments, and denied that the State establish-
ment and endowment of Churches was at variance
with the spirit of Christianity. From the earliest
times the -Church had accepted endowments in
money and land, and the propriety of doing so was
never called in question. When Constantine
placed the Christian Ohurch in union with
the State, no one thought it a retro-
moasure ; nor was the voluntary "grin
ciple contended for in later days, when at the
era of the Reformation the different schools of
Protestantism in England, Scotland, and on the Con-
tifielit•had the option of establishment or disestablish-
ment given them. The Archdeacon quoted from the
" Westminster Confession of Faith," the " Bohemian
Confession," the " Confession of Saxony," &c., to
spew that the reformers both at home and abroad,
did not discover in Holy Scripture any recommen-
dations of disendowment and disestabliihment.

3f ArNOOTIL

Mr. Layar(l, 3.1 r. Glad Stone,. is called to
account for his opinions on the Maynooth clauses.
A Mi:. PoWell,- 'who writes from Glebe-terrace,
Bermondsey, is the examiner. Mr. Powell asks Mr.
Layard whether he did not pledge himself not to
hand over any moneys of the • Irish Church to
" Roman Catholicity;" and if he did, whether he is
going to break his pledge by voting for the re=
endowment of Maynooth. Mr. Layard replies that,
in his opinion, the Maynooth clauses are just, and
he breaks no pledge in voting for them. Mr. Powell
retorts td this that opinions are not facts. Maynooth
belongs to the Roman Catholics. Mr. Layard
pledged himself to hand over no Irish Church money
to the Roman Catholics. The 39th and 40th clauses
of the bill provide that money " stolen" from the
Irish Church shall be given to Maynooth.
This is handing money to the Roman Catholics.
Mr. Layard is about to vote for it. " Therefore,"
exclaims Mr. Powell triumphantly, "I distinctly
charge you (Mr. Layard) with the violation of the
pledge you have given, which, in my opinion, mate-
rially detracts from your position as an honest legis-
lator." To this very energetic charge the First Com-
missioner of Works makes no reply.

ANOTHER ARCHDEACON ON STATE CHURCHES.
Archdeacon Sinclair, vicar of Kensington, in his
annual charge. to the clergy of Middlesex, took up
that irresistible subject, the Irish Church. His sub-
ject was "Progress." After referring to thodifferent
kinds of progress, literary, scientific, and political,
the Archdeacon turned to the question of Church
Establishments, and denied that the State establish-
ment and endowment of Churches was at variance
with the spirit of Christianity. From the earliest
times the Church had accepted endowments in
money and land, and the propriety of doing so was
never called in question. - When Constantine
placed the, Christian Church in union with
the . State,. no one thought .it a retro-
gressive measure ; nor was -the voluntary prin-
ciple. contended for in. later days, when .i the
era of the Reformation the different. schools of
Protestantism in England. Scotland, -and .on'the Con-
tinent had the option of establishment or dis-establish-
mentVWeii them. The ArchdeaCon quoted froth the
"Westminster Confession of Faith," the "Bohemian
Confession," the " Confession of . Saxony," &c., to
shew that the reformers both .at home and abroad,
did not discover in Holy Scripture any recommen-
dations of disendowment and disestablishment..

THE HULL CONVENT CASE.

It is well known that the defendants in this case
have made an application to set aside the verdict on
technical grounds. But, looking at the state of the
cause list, it is not likely that this application will
be heard for several months. Meanwhile, Miss Saurin
has filed a bill in Chancery, praying that it may be
declared that she was improperly excluded from the
convent, that the rights of the defendants in the
convent may be ascertained, that the property of the
convent may be realised under the directions of the
court and divided between the plaintiff and the other
persons entitled to it, that the defendants may be
restrained from selling their property, that some
proper person may be appointed receiver of it, that
in addition to a substitution for any part of the
relief hereby prayed, damages may be awarded to
the plaintiff, that the defendants may be ordered to
pay the costs of this suit, and that the
plaintiff may have such further relief as
she may require. The bill then goes on to
relate the history of Miss Saurin's connection with the
convent, and asserts that just before the late trial
Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Kennedy, knowing that they
had no good defence to the action about to be
brought against them, surrendered to two of the
Sisters.their share in the convent property; further,
that in order to render nugatory any appeal on
behalf of the plaintiff to the authorities of the
Roman Catholic Church, the defendants have since
the trial determined to break up the convent, and
are realising the property Of course this is Miss
Saurin's version of the facts, but it is stated that by
filing this bill the completion of a sale of land
belonging to the convent, and valued at £6, 000, has
been prevented.
