LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1867.

---~---

Last night, in the House of Lords, Lord REDES-
DALE moved the first reading of a bill for the pur-
pose of introducing the same provisions exactly as

Sir FRANCIS CROSSLEY had done, in connection
with the park he had presented to Halifax, respect-
ing the parks of London. His Lordship declared
that he did so as one of her MAJESTY'S subjects,
who wished for protection and comfort in the en-
joyment of the parks. The Government had brought
in a bill to provide for the prevention of further
meetings being held in the parks, but from motives
of prudence the measure had not been proceeded
with. The very words used by Sir FRANCIS CROSS-
LEY were employed by the noble lord in the com-
pilation of his scheme, to the effect that the park
should not be used, on any accasion, for " the pur-
pose of holding political and other meetings, nor
for open-air proceedings, or celebration of anni►er-
saries, of unions, clubs, or benefit societies." This
plan seems a wise one, and it would have saved a
great deal of confusion and loss if such a bill had
been passed some years before. Parliament is the
proper authority to deal with the question. The
respective corporations deal with the pro-
vincial parks, but in the case of the metro-
politan parks such a thing could not be
done. The Earl of DERBY said that he could not
express any decided oponion upon this subject while
it was being considered by her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment. The law officers of the CROWN have de-
clared that there is no question whatever with re-
spect to the rights of the CROWN regarding the
Royal parks. It seems that the difficulty lies in
regard to the penalties for enforcing the regu-
lations, not in the right to make the regulations.
At present any person who violates the bye-laws
the CROWN has a right to make in virtue of owner-
ship for the protection of the parks can only be
proceeded against as a trespasser, and that course
cannot be taken unless personal notice has been
given to the trespasser. This appears a very un-
satisfactory state of things, and few can believe
that a remedy is not loudly called for. As the noble
Earl truly observed, the penalty for trespassing
has been found quite inadequate for the purpose,
and a more efficient remedy is called for. There is
no doubt that the establishment of such penalties
as will prevent the violation of the regulations
which are framed for the benefit of the public, for
whose recreation the Parks are thrown open, will,
as Lord DERBY says, meet with general approval.
Lord PORTMAN made some sensible observations on
this vexed question. He said that he did not see
why the law that was wanted for Hyde Park might
not be carried out for every park in the
kingdom, especially as there would be less
• objection to the alterations if they were
not restricted to a particular place. The
bill was read a first time, but it seems doubtful

if the matter will be proceeded with ; at any rate,
the noble lord has done good service by calling at-
tention to the subject, which unfortunately, like
many others, never engages notice except at periods
of excitement, when judgment is perverted and
passions interfere to the prejudice of justice, and
prevent many from arriving at a clear understand-
ing of the question.

Respecting the Habeas Corpus Act Lord DERBY
proposed that the House should sit to-day for a
short time in order to receive a bill for the suspen-
sion of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, it being
necessary that no time should be lost in the matter,
because the existing law of suspension expires on
the Ist of June ; and in consequence of the
absence of the QUEEN at Balmoral a longer

period must elapse before the Royal assent
can be obtained. There is no doubt that

the matter will be satisfactorily settled, since their
Lordships' House will not be troubled with any of
the lengthy harangues which impede progress in
the lower branch of the Legislature. The import-
ance of the interest at stake will induce those who
may have scruples as to the advisability of the course
proposed to postpone their judgment, so as to avert
the mischief that might follow upon any delay in
keeping up that supervision and authority
which will alone secure peace in Ireland.

The Government have evidently resolved to use
every effort to carry their Reform Bill through both
Houses of Parliament this session, and in this de-
termination they will, we think, find themselves
supported by the majority in Parliament and in
the country. When all parties have pretty well
agreed upon the main features of the bill it would
be a matter of great regret if the substantial good
to be gained by the settlement of the long-vexed
question during the present year were sacrificed to
petty disputes about matters of detail, which are
really of little moment. The Ministers have not,
however, an easy task, and a new difficulty has
lately arisen from the impatience of Scotch and
Irish members with respect to their national reform
bills. Mr. DISRAELI last evening, in answer to au
appeal of this kind, boldly declared that, unless for
a matter of State exigency, the Government did not
intend to proceed with any business whatever until the
English Reform Bill had passed through committee.
This is a prudent resolve, since the Commons can
be discussing► the Scotch and Irish Bills while the
Lords are debating on the merits and demerits of
the English measure ; and it is evident that the
work yet to be done will not be accomplished
within the given time unless great efforts are made,
and the House keeps steadily at work. The Irish
members, however, always jc.alons for their nation,
are inclined to resent the inevitable delay, and last
evening several of them showed some temper on
the matter, and the fair promises of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer were received without much gra-
titude. As soon after Whitsuntide as possible,
promised the Leader of the House, while apologis-
ing for the postponement, and endeavouring to
soothe the wrathful Hiberniaus, but he declined to

give them any anticipatory information, an instance
of reserve which was not surprising, considering
the criticisms and censures to which the coming
bill was anything but encouraging. Several speakers
professed themselves very eager to know the terms
of the bill, and to be satisfied as to particular points,
but as it was quite evident that whatever the bill
was to be it would find a host of objectors, the
CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEvEn showed a wise dis-
cretion in refusing to satisfy their curiosity. Last
year he reminded them that the Irish bill was not
introduced till the month of May, and they were
still in the month of May. It is true that the ob-
jectors might have replied that Whitsuntide will no
longer find us in May, but they must remember
that the Scotch and Irish bills will be likely
to make much more rapid progress when
the English bill is out of the way. Mr.
DISRAELLI promises the Irish members that
they shall have plenty of time and opportunity to
discuss the provisions of the Irish Reform Bill, and
no doubt the same opportunity will be afforded to
the Scotch Al.P.'B, who have, however, usually less

to say about their affairs. It is the best policy on
all accounts to push on the English bill. If we can
get a comprehensive measure agreed upon for Eng-
land, there will not be much reason to fear that the
remaining bills may be satisfactorily disposed of.
Mr. HODGKINSON is not inclined to acccept the
Government adaptation of his suggestion, so there
are more difficulties to be adjusted before the com-
pound householder is finally got rid of. Patience
and perseverance, however, can accomplish most
things, and we hope to see them achieve this
troublesome task before the Whitsuntide holidays.

By this time, we should imagine, that very little
surprise will be occasioned by the announcement of
anything that is done by the Prussians, but really
the conduct of the Berlin Government is most bare-
faced, and the demands made upon the people of
Prussia are quite inexcusable. The last news is
that the landed estate of Randnitz, in East Prussia,
is to be bought out of the public funds, and pre-
sented to Prince FREDERICK CHARLES, in recogni-
tion of his military services. This is a very
unnecessary arrangement, and there might have
been many other ways found for the recognition of
the said services, which, after all, amounted to very
little. The war contributions which Prussia has
insisted upon hate been excessive, and the fact of
Hesse-Darmstadt being included among the tax
payers is indeed significant. It shows that no con-
siderations of delicacy, no suggestions of
_courtesy,
and no motives of prudence even can possibly avail
to stay the course determined upon by these ruth-
less innovators. Surely in all conscience there is
sufficient loss occasioned to these unfortunate States
without their being watched after the fashion al-
luded to. However, there is no hope of escape or
reprieve for those whose destiny puts them in the
power of the Prussians, and all they can do is to
look forward to better days.

Of a piece with the rest of their assurance, the
Prussians now declare that three months is the very
shortest term that she can fix upon for the evacua-
tion of Luxemburg. Every one must know
that such an arrangement is an unnecessary
one ; but so it is. The French Government
do not put much faith in the matter of Prussian
subjects, and no doubt some means will be devised
whereby the word of promise may be kept in the
letter but broke in the spirit. It is suggested that
a " Rastadt question" may spring up eventually to
take the place of a Luxemburg difficulty, but this
is not very certain as yet. The real danger lies in
the fact that a very bad understanding exists be-
tween France and Prussia, and there is no denying
it. So far the difficulty has been tided over,
but the affair is by no means a settled or a
secure one, and it wants but a spsrk to set the
whole in a conflagration. We may well rejoice at
the success of the London Conference, which has
tended to improve the state of things in both coun-
tries, but at the same time it will not do to shut
our eyes to the fact that lurking behind the fes-
tivities of Paris there is a shadow of coming
evil, and no prudent politician will be deceived
into the belief that peace will reign for a very
lengthened period.

Several efforts are being made to supply the lack
of schools for the poorer classes. The finance com-
mittee of the National Society for Promoting the
Education of the Poor have just set aside £5,000
to enable them to increase their ordinary grants for
building school-rooms when applications come from
thinly-peopled districts in England and Wales. It
is thought that in some such places the
schools, if they were once established, would
find means of support, and at any rate it
is dezirable that opportunities for education should
be afforded to the people. The great want, how-
ever, is rather in our populous towns and great
cities than in rural and thinly-peopled districts, and
we only had to see a sensible and practical move-
ment towards assisting the education of the lower
middle classes. A meeting was held on Thursday,
at Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, in aid of the
self-supporting boarding schools in connection
with St. Nicholas College, Sussex. The object
of these schools is to provide a sound plain educa-
tion for the sons of small tradesmen—persons of
very limited means, the charge being only 14
guineas a year. How schools can be made self-
supporting at such a rate is a marvel, but so far as
they have gone they have been eminently success-
ful. Only one wing of the intended building,
which is to accommodate 1,000 boys, has been
erected, but the demand for the admission of
boys, especially from London, is so urgent that the
erection of a second wing is found to be immedi-
ately necessary. The majority of the boys come
from London, boys being sent from every parish.
The class for which the schools are intended is more
strongly represented in the metropolis than any,
where else, and we can easily believe that the sup-
ply of a long-felt want will give great relief to many.
The lower middle classes have suffered more than
any other from the lack of public schools. They
are too high for the national or denominational
charity schools, and too low for the large public
schools, where men of some wealth or position send
their sons. A professional man or a merchant, if he
do not attempt to send his son to Eton or Harrow,
can at least secure a good boarding-school, but the
struggling clerk or small tradesman who can only
afford fifteen or twenty pounds a year for the edu-
cation of his son cannot afford to be particular. He
must take what he can get for the money, and in
former days, before competitive examinations and
University inspectors had raised the standard of
instruction and afforded a test of the
ability of the schoolmaster, even costly pri-
vate establishments were not always reliable.
We are endeavouring to bring forward our lower
classes in every possible manner, but we shall never
benefit them permanently or effectually until we
improve the character and quality of their educa-
tion. The effects of a good and sound education,
however plain or limited, are

THE PRINCESS OF WALES. —The increasing
severity of the weather has made the past week a
trying one, even for those who cannot be considered inva-
lids. Her royal highness has not escaped an attack of cold
and sore throat, a discomfort from which few persons have
been exempt, but which in her case was not particularly
severe, and was unattended by rheumatism. With the
exception of this passing ailment, the condition of the
patient has continued satisfactory. Nothing has occurred
to interrupt the process of repaic which the affected joint
is undergoing. The limb is necessarily still confined in a
splint, kept in an extended position, and suspended in a
cradle. No attempt at bending the knee has been made,
and, indeed, the joint is still so sensitive, and susceptible
of pain upon the slighest hint of motion, that its preserva-
tion in a state of absolute rest would be instinctive even if
it were not made compulsory. There is nothing unusual
iu the case, which is similar in character to a score one
may see daily in the metropolitan hospitals. Her royal
highness is in the ordinary condition of a person who has
had extremely acute inflammation of all the textures of the
knee-joint, including its. cartilages, and the time has not
yet arrived at which any attempt at movement can be
safely made.—Lancet.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—The plants and fbwers for
this day's great flower show began to arrive at four
o'clock this morning, when it at once became apparent
that this year's show would be a more than usually fine
one. It will remain open until seven o'clock, and, from
the agreeable change in the weather, a large attendance is
anticipated.
