THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1866.

for some time enabled to communicate with each
other in the space of a few hours, then we shall
more fully realise the advantages of the work now
achieved. At present there is enough, and more
than enough, to do in dwelling upon the triumph
of science, and in recognising the merits of those
who have contrived to carry out the undertaking.
But the gain and glory of the Atlantic Cable are
no ephemeral things ; it is no nine days' wonder,
but will hold its place among those works which
have contributed to the progress of the age. The
more nations and people are brought together
in close and constant intercourse the better
must it be for all ; and we cannot too earnestly
direct our efforts to the attainment of this desired
end. Misrepresentations are rife and misconceptions
abound when individuals or races lead isolated lives ;
and, in every sense of the word, it is matter for con-
gratulation that the people of England and the
people of America will have further opportunities
of knowing each other. Had the Atlantic Cable
been successfully carried out some years ago, so
many mistakes and confusion would not have arisen
during the war between the Northern and
Southern States ; and even now there is much to be
done, especially on the other side of the Atlantic, to
do away with prejudices and jealousies. Not only
as a present gain then, but as a great thing of the
future, may we regard the Atlantic Cable with in-
terest, and rejoice that they who have occupied
their business beneath the great waters should have
brought their work to a successful issue, a work
that will result in signal benefits to mankind, and
draw together in closer sympathy the leading na-
tions of the world.

The Reform Meeting of to-night has had many
places assigned for it. By the desire of Mr. BEALES
and his coadjutors it was to assemble in Hyde Park.
At the bug6e.a....... vI GIJ OW V .1..a.a....A.AL iL rrua 6v weep
on Primrose Hill. Then it was talked about in
connection with Victoria Park, and, finally, it has
had its exact locality assigned to it in the Agricul-
tural Hall. There are some recommendations in
favour of this course. A meeting under
cover is less likely to include those roughs,
pickpockets, and desperadoes who delight
in the prospect of a large and riotous
assemblage out of doors. Any one who gets up a
disturbance, or interferes with the peace of the
meetings, will be more readily detected and recog-
nised, and there is less probability of an undignified
and tumultuous conclusion to the debate. But
the meeting to-night is, we fear, to be an " In-
dignation Meeting," and we should like to know
what the indignation is about. Is it because of
official interference with the right of open-
air meetings ? But the Earl of DERBY in
one House, and Mr. DIRRAELI in the
other, have freely admitted the full right
of the people to hold political meetings in
the open air, and this very night the assemblage
might hold their " indignation meeting" on Prim-
rose Hill if they chose. Is the indignation directed
against Mr. WALPOLE personally ? Scarcely when
the members of the League themselves admit his
extreme courtesy. Is it against a Tory Govern-
ment for forbidding a Reform meeting ? But, alas !
a Liberal Ministry, of which Mr. GLADSTONE
was a prominent member, did exactly the same
thing, as admitted by the late Home Secretary in
the Commons the other evening. But perhaps we
shall be told that the indignation is against the
police. The police force, whatever some may think,
are certainly composed of men of like flesh and blood
to the very demonstrative Reformers of last week ;
and there is no reason to suppose that it is ex-
clusively recruited from the families of the aris-
tocracy, or from holders of Conservative opinions.
The police, strange to say, belong, properly speak-
ing, to the ranks of the working men, for they
come from the class which supplies our factories
1.0 4.4 N 4,14 V El.
They work hard enough for their money,
and notwithstanding the black sheep to be found in
every flock, they are, for the most part, fair repre-
sentatives of the English working man—intelligent,
industrious, and good tempered, though ready
enough to, defend themselves when attacked. There
have been strenuous efforts to get up complaints
against the men employed in the Park last week for
brutality and excess of duty, but the complaints
may fairly be divided between the belligerents.
The virtuous indignation against the oppressors of
an " unarmed multitude" is a little out of place
when we remember the flints and Park
railings. We can only think it very for-
tunate that so little serious mischief was
done on either side, the only fatal casualty
being due to a carriage accident. We hope the
League will be wise. This is not the way to carry
Reform. We do not want heroics about the crimes
of the Tories, the vices of the aristocracy, or the
oppressors of the people. All this is quite out of
date, and misplaced heroics end in bathos. If our
working men continue to show their fitness for the
franchise and their desire for the ballot by consti-
tutional means that the' middle class may sympa-
thise with, and that the upper class may respect,
they will win the battle whoever reigns in Downing-
street. If they are to go back to the days of a mob
violence and intolerance, their enfranchisement
must be postponed till they have learned political
wisdom.

THE HI DE-PARK RIOTS.

At the bidding of Mr. Bright, and with the as-
sumed approval of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Beales, re-
presenting the law, and his lieutenant Mr. Lucraft
the property, and Professor Rogers the intellect of
the country, have let loose all the lawless and mis-
chievous rabble of London to break the public peace,
and to do all the harm they can to Liberal opinions
and even to the cause of Parliamentary Reform
itself. On Mr. Bright, who well knew what he
was about, and on Mr. Beales, who was per-
haps too stupid to understand the inevitable
consequences of his acts, we unequivocally charge
the responsibility of what has happened, and of
what may happen. We do not suppose that Mr.
Beales has any pleasure in seeing the peace broken ;
we wish that we could say as much for the prudent
person who only finds it convenient to write inflam-
matory and provocative letters from Rochdale. To
do Mr. Beales and his Leaguers justice, they at least
risked broken heads; Mr. Bright prefers the less glo-
rious but safer course of preaching anarchy and riot,
and of exposing, not his life and limbs, but his
character. And it will be noticed that Mr. Gladstone's
habitual fluency has been for once exchanged for a
significant silence, when, in the House of Commons,
the opportunity presented itself to him for disavow-
ing any sympathy with those who marched to riot
and possible bloodshed under a banner emblazoned
with his image and superscription. The offences
against the law which are punished in the person of
the 30 or 40 poor fools or paltry knaves who have
made acquaintance with Mr. Knox and Mr. Mans-
field are as nothing compared with Mr. Bright's
last offence against the public peace and against
society. Smith O'Brien risked his head, and Hunt
and O'Connell and Feargus O'Connor risked their
persons ; but it requires a peaceable Quaker and a
Birmingham-metal demagogue to put to hazard the
safety of other people, the peace of the capital, and
the whole fabric of social order, through the cheap
medium of the penny post. .
When we speak of the leaders, we do not refer
merely to Messrs. Beales, Howell, and such men.
Their motives or objects are a matter of utter in-
difference to the public. Sooner or later they will
doubtless share the fate of all those whom the mob
tolerates for a time only to discard when it no
longer cares to use them. They are only partially
responsible for that scandalous anarchy which for
three successive nights has made London the pity
and wonder of civilised Europe. When we think of
those who, in a time of national peace and un-
equalled prosperity, have marred the fairest portion
of our metropolis with the ugly scars of a shameful
strife, the humiliation which the thought inspires
turns to indignant resentment against the man whose
counsels have animated the instruments of havoc
and confusion. Mr. Bright has now placed himself
in a position which those who most dislike him
have long desired to see him take. His feelings to-
wards the Government of his country and its insti-
tutions have long beer, known. That he should profit
by every occasion to turn the hearts of the poor
against the rich, and of the governed against autho-
rity, was only what might be expected. But that
he should twice advise (from a safe distance) a
course of proceeding obviously calculated to bring
about a conflict, and perhaps bloodshed, is what his
worst enemies. could hardly have looked for from
a man who might be presumed to set some value
on the esteem of his countrymen. We have at
times compared Mr. Bright to. O'Connell. The
comparison is, however, scarcely just to the memory

of the Irish demagogue. O'Connell dreaded blood-
shed. If he found that he had been urging his
followers too strongly beyond the limits of peaceful
agitation, he drew back before it was too late. He
never gave them advice which could bring them into
direct collision with the strength of the executive
government, and he discouraged those impatient
rivals whose indiscreet ardour brooked no compro-
mise or delay. Mr. Bright has taught his followers
deliberately to risk a conflict the issue of which
might have involved most tremendous consequences.
Thanks to the forbearance of the Government and
the temper of the police, those consequences have
not yet ensued. Their absence has, however, been
purchased at a price which cannot easily be esti-
mated. A blow has been struck, not only at the
exercise but even at the principle of authority in
England, which cannot but shake, for the time, her
influence in every nation of Europe. For the past
week London has virtually been in the hands of
the dregs of its population. There is no other
capital in which a similar riot, under similar circum-
stances, would not have been suppressed at once.
The reasons which have prevented its suppression
here will either be not considered, or will be wrongly
considered by foreign critics. The fact will remain,
and will be regarded as proving that boasting,
wealthy, powerful England is smitten with paralysis
at the heart. A country which cannot control the
fermenting scum of its city Arabs, what power can
it have in the councils of Europe, or the politics of
the world? Such will be the argument now put into
the mouth of every Continental statesman. That it
may at no distant day be rebutted, is not impossible.
Indeed, the impatience of every class of the com-
munity at the degradation of which all are conscious
must ere long rouse all in a general effort to rid
themselves of the reproach. But, meanwhile, who
shall measure the loss of character and position which
the continuance of this reproach imposes on us ? If
Mr. Bright has failed in many of his schemes, he has
at last succeeded in one—that of lowering his country
in the eyes of the world, and introducing the prin-
ciple of anarchy into the citadel of the constitution.
We hesitate to associate another name with that of
Mr. Bright in this abuse of Tribunitian powers. We
are unwilling to believe that the honours which the
rabble has thrust on Mr. Gladstone indicate more
than a vague hope that he will throw the xgis of
his character over acts which in his heart he must

detest. At present Mr. Gladstone's silence is more
than unbecoming ;it is ignoble. It may be ad-
mitted that it is desirable that the question, not of
the right of petition (for about this there can be
no doubt), but of the mode and time of exercising
it, should receive a judicial solution in a court of
law. Not that we have any doubts about it ; bu t
so much nonsense has been talked about it by the
Ayrtons, Layards, and others, that plain people are
bamboozled. This question, however, subsides into
a secondary place now. The paramount question
for the Government and for every respectable man
is, how is the present disgraceful state of things to
be terminated and it recurrence prevented ? If we
fail in settling this Parliament must cease to sit,
and the Sovereign to reside, in London.—pSatterday
Review.
The Spectator says the matter rests, leaving in
impartial minds the conclusion that Mr. Walpole
is weak, Sir Richard Mayne an old soldier, the
British " rough" no politician, and Mr. Beales a
goose. Mr. Bright wrote a letter to the Reform
League which had, we fear, no little influence in
promoting the foolish and mischievous proceedings
of Monday in Hyde-park. Our security rests on
the foundation of having as few restrictions on in-
dividual choice as is consistent with national life,
and those few removable by the will of a represen-
tative Parliament. It is not a sign of liberty that
the mere wish of a crowd should be able to overrule
Parliamentary authority, or to put to one sort of
use what the majority of the people prefer to see
devoted to another use. If the people ought to be
able to use the Parks at their pleasure for political
purposes, why not to use the House of Commons
at their pleasure for purposes of amusement----;for
fancy balls or popular concerts? It is these random
fire balloons which .11Ir. Bright sends up every now
and then which bring down upon him a distrust far
beyond what would be due to his general political
opinion.

The London Review says that the riots which have

this week disgraced us are the logical and miserable
result of Mr. Bright's exhortations to the people,
puonsfiea some tlino netore the Easter recess, to
make an imposing demonstration of their wishes—
a thinly-disguised incitement to the populace to
influence the deliberations of Parliament by an
exhibition of force. As the great cock crowed, the
little cock learned. Mr. Beales claimed the parks
for the people, whether, for the purpose in question,
they belonged to them or not, and Mr. Bright wrote
to the secretary of the Reform League a letter which
was either singularly childish or studiedly malicious,
inciting the League to defy the Ministry, the police,
and the law. That letter was a great blunder, and
we especially regret it, because we have respected
Mr. Bright's reputation as that of one of the fore-
most men of our time, to whom the country owes
much, even though it wisely refrains from endorsing
the whole of his policy. And it is all the more to
be lamented, because it raises a strong suspicion
that he has studied to provoke a collision between
the people and the police at which he had not the
courage to be present.

The Economist thinks that Mr. Mill's speech will
do as much to diminish his Parliamentary weight as
any of his greater speeches has done to increase it.
That great blunders have been made in enforcing
the policy of the Government we believe. But the
deficiency has been rather in not carrying out the
policy strongly enough—with sufficient display of
strength—than in carrying it out too strongly.
But there is not even a good pretence for suggest-
ing, as Mr. Mill suggested, a doubt whether the
Government really wished to prohibit all London
open-air meetings for political purposes, instead of
only to forbid them in open spaces properly devoted
to public amusement and exercise. Mr. Mill said
that some of the newspapers were hostile to all open-
air political . meetings in London. We can well
believe it, for newspapers in the extremity of the
need for something to say do say the very silliest
things from time to time ; but we must do the Tory
Administration the justice to admit that nothing
which has fallen from them has ever indicated hos-
tility to open-air meetings for political purposes as
such, but only to their being held in unfit places
like the public parks.

THE CHURCH-RATE BILLS.—The four bills of Mr.
Gladstone, Mr. Hardcastle, Mr. Newdegate, and
Sir Vs,. Bovill follow each other on the notice paper of the
House of Commons for the Wednesday morning sitting,
and as they stand first it is certain that Mr. Gladstone's
bill, at least, will come on. As there will be 'nearly six
hours for the debate, it may be assumed that the process of
talking against time cannot be a third time adopted with a
hope of success, and that, therefore, the question that the
bill be read a second time will be put from the chair,
Although the Government have pledged themselves not to
vote against the second reading, Mr. Neate has moved an
amendment which, if carried, would put an end to the bill,
and he has publicly stated that he intends pressing it to a
division. Contrary to expectation, therefore, there may be
another trial of strength on the question, and the sup-
porters of Mr. Gladstone's bill be required to be at their
post to prevent its being disposed of by an adverse vote.

THAMES CONSERVANCY.—The Conservators of
he Thames, who at present, and until the bill of

this session shall pass, have the management of the river,
not throughout the navigable portion of it, but only up to
Staines, show in their report on the past year that they
received in 1865 £22,880 for tonnage dues, £5,390 for pier
dues, £5,676 for tolls, £10,883 for material raised by dredg-
ing and supplied to the contractors for the Thames em-
bankment ; and various other receipts brought the year's
income up to more than £56,000. The expenditure is
chiefly for salaries and wages, the Board having to improve
the river by dredging ; to keep a staff of pier-masters, col-
lectors, river-keepers, inspectors, and clerks ; to maintain
piers, landing-places, to wing-paths, and buoys for moor-
ing; to remove wrecks and obstructions; and to prevent
the pollution of the stream as far as they may. The Con-
servators have reduced to £120,800 their debt for money
borrowed on the security of the tolls westward of London-
bride, and they have £58,312 in the funds or otherwise in-
vested, besides a cash balance of £16,000.

MRS. YELVERTON.—MrS. Theresa Yelverton
(Longworth) has presented a petition to the House of Lords
praying that she may be permitted to proceed with her
second appeal from the Court of Session in Scotland against
Major Yelverton in forma pauperi3. The petition was on
Thursday referred to the Appeal Committee.

Hints to Private Secretaries.
---..-

The installation of a new Government, whose
members are not experienced in official ways and
duties, is a fitting occasion for offering a few re-
marks on what should be the conduct of private
secretaries. A private secretary should always bear
in mind that he is a buffer. That is his chief use.
He is the shadow of the great man he serves, but a
shadow with powers of resistance, and he will very
much mistake his duty if he do not strenuously, and
at all times, oppose those powers to the approaches
of vulgar men who want interviews. In short, in
the laboratory of the Minister the private secretary
must be a non-conductor. Were that inherent
quality wanting, the shocks which his chief might
receive could not fail of annoying. Bearing this in
mind, the private secretary will remember that, as
long as his master keeps in his own room, he (the
secretary) is as good a man as his chief ;
he
therefore, not fail to assert that conviction by all
those airs and pretensions which he clearly imagines
must be the distinctive marks of high office. Starting
from his own original tendencies that way, he will try
and soar to that pitch of dignity which he conceives
must be reached by any man who has risen so high 01
the scale as his chief. For the sake of consistency, 1f
from no higher motive, the private secretary will
never so far forget himself as to go out at once tn,,
any person who has called to see him. " Surely,"
he will say, "no man can appear a great man if he
does not keep his suitors waiting in the antecham-
ber ; and, although I am only reading the Times,
were I to go at once they would think I had very
little to do ; whereas it is well known I am over-
whelmed with acknowledgments of receipt." This
is a very proper frame of mind, and though it maY
not expedite business, it will maintain official re-
putation, which is far more important. On similar
grounds, when the interview does take place, we
trust there are few private secretaries who would
demean themselves so far as to understand at once
what the person wants. The simpler the question,
the more unimportant the matter most probably is
and if it were supposed that private secretaries could
carry trifles in their heads, and were not weighed
down by the mass of their State secrets, the conse-
quences of such an impression would be most disas-
trous. Let everyprivate secretary misunderstandonce
or twice, and after having in an absent manner forced
the applicant to repeat himself several times, then
tell him that he will make inquiries, and leave the
room as though to make them. A secretary should
never see anybody in his own room. It would be
most inconvenient. His cigar and newspaper would
diminish the awe he ought to inspire, and he would
be depriving himself of the power of retreat. Write
all your private letters at the office ; this saves
money, and will help to pass the time. To make up
for the trifling expense thus incurred by the country,
a private secretary should always remember that, by
putting his official letters aside, half of them will
answer themselves. He will thus, by a judicious
delay, spare both himself and the public purse.
wise discretion should ever be exercised as to what
letters it is necessary for your chief to see. AS 3
general rule, nobody out of official circles who Is
not an M.P. or a peer can possibly have anything:,
to write worth reading. Letters from " nobodies
should be consigned to the waste-paper basket.
If a secretary wishes to be very efficient he should
first just look at the end, take the name, and send an
acknowledgment. No particular care need be ob-
served as to accuracy of names; on the contrary, a
good effect is produced by a misdirection, which is a
sign of overwhelming work, and the trouble to the
Post-office is of little account. For the information
of any new and excited private secretary, we maY
add that it is not necessary to keep copies of simple
acknowledgments, nor will long and pomp°
phrases go down with the permanent officials who'
he will find in the department, however much they
may tell with the general public. But it is in society
that the private secretary will best use his opportu-
nities. By familiar use of the names of the princi-
pal Cabinet Ministers, and a skilful air of mystery
adjusted to the face whenever politics are mooted,
he must indeed be a clumsy young man who doe;
not succeed in impressing young ladies with his 003
importance and the immense services he is render-
ing the country. There is no knowing whether,
by dexterous insinuations as to the wonderful con-
tents of red boxes, he may not even so stimulate
female curiosity, anxious to know some of these
wondrous secrets, that he may find his appointment
pave his way to matrimony.—The Owl.

The Ministerial whitebait dinner will take place
next Saturday, and Parliament will probably be prorogued
