quote it here exclusively from memory, a passage
running, we believe, verbatim as follows :
" We were now treading that illustrious isand which
was once the luminary of the Caledonian regions, whence
savage clans and roving barbarians derived the benefits of
knowledge and the blessings of religion. To abstract the
mind from all local emotion would be difficult if it were
possible, and would be found impossible if it were endea-
r vowed. Whatever withdraws us from the power of our
senses, whatever snakes the past, the distant, or the future
predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity
of thinking beings. Far from me and from my friends be
such frigid philosophy as should conduct us indifferent
and unmoved over any ground which had been dignified
by wisdom, learning, or virtue. That- man is little to
the
be
envied whose patriotism would not gain force upon
plains of Marathon, and whose piety would not grow warmer
among the ruins of lona."
Those, " we believe,' are JOHNSON'S ipsissima
verba—a fragment of which, dwarfed and distorted,
was indecorously dragged into his speech on Wed-
nesday by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the
purpose of a bizarre travesty, through a most ludi-
crous application. The quotation from POPE, how-
ever, as before intimated, was as admirably applied
as that from JOHNSON was misapplied—and, cer-
tainly, reading those three familiar couplets (from
one of the earliest effusions of our English ALEX-
ANDER the Great) by the light of Mr. GLADSTONE'S
comment, the poet's verse seams distinctly prophetic
of the repeal of the Navigation Laws and the
triumph of Free Trade principles—so happily pro-
phetic that we are fain to repeat them here in our
Leading columns :
"The time shall come when free as waves or wind,
Unbounded Thames shall flow for all mankind,
Where nations enter on each swelling tide,
And seas but join the nations they divide;
Earth's distant ends our glory shall behold,
And the New World run forth to seek the 011."
Reverting, however, to our consideration of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's last after-dinner
speech, as a whole, we would earnestly recom-
mend him, the next time he displays his rhetori-
cal abilities over the dessert, to moderate his im-
mense powers of eulogium, and, above all things,
to remember SCROOGE'S deprecatory appeal to
the ghost of Marley—" Don't be fl)wery
JACOB!"
A delightful contrast to the ornate but really
empty oration of Mr. GLADSTONE, was the emi-
nently sensible and practical speech delivered to
that " incomparable company" on Wednesday
evening by Sir JOHN P:tKINGTON. If for nothing
else that speech of the ex-First Lord of the Admi-
ralty would have been worthy of all praise and of
prolonged remembrance for the following :
" I think" said Sir JOHN "we cannot come
to Holyhead, we cannot look at this great and noble
harbour, without recollecting that that harbour
has arisen from the grants which have been given
by the House of Commons, and I hope and trust
the House of Commons will not be wanting in the
great duty which devolves upon them at this mo-
ment of providing harbours for England. Ido not
believe that two more important steps have ever
been taken towards the naval strength—towards
the defences—towards the commercial prosperity of
England—than the creation of those two noble arti-
ficial harbours of Portland and Holyhead. It was my
duty to come here a year ago officially, although I am
not now a member of the Government, and I was
then delighted to hear it very often happens that 200
or 300 vessels at a time during the winter find shelter
in this harbour of Holyhead, which vessels would
otherwise be buffeting about with great risk to life
and property in St. George's Channel. Now, I
trust that the liberality of the House of Commons
will not be restricted in this great item of public
expenditure. I cannot help here appealing, not to
you the constituents, not to my brother members
in general—but if it is not very unfair, and if
my right hon. friend will forgive me—l hope 1
may appeal to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
upon this subject, with respect to a report not long
ago presented to Parliament and the public, from
the commission on harbours of refuge. I had the
honour myself of appoifiting to preside over that
commission Admiral Hope. I appointed Admiral
Hope because I believed then, as I believe now,
that he is a man not only of distinguished gallantry
and professional skill, but a man of great ability.
The report which has been presented justifies that
which it recommends—an extension of the
system of harbours of refuge and I hope
and trust that the House of Commons will
be liberal in this respect." Admirable words, ad-
mirably well applied, and upon an occasion in every
way most felicitous. We earnestly trust that they
w ill be taken well to heart by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, by the British House of Commons,
and by the English people generally. It would
be an appropriate incident worthy of com-
memoration hereafter in the history of the
greatest maritime nation the world has
ever seen, if the multiplication, and com-
pletion, and perfect organisation of the whole
system of harbours of refuge were to date in effict
from that wise and patriotic appeal made by Sir
JOHN PAKINGTON to the people and to the Parlia-
ment—an appeal made by him • with a force so
familiarly felicitous upon the Great Eastern's

crowning inauguration.

In returning thanks for, the House of Commons
last Wednesday, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON very pro-
perly began with confession of sins. Not that he
has himself, as we consider, much to answer for,
we mean in respect to bribery—the topic to which
he was adverting. Let it be remembered that, as
Lord BROUGHAM reminded us at Bradford, it was
Sir JOHN PAKINGTON who co-operated with him
in endeavouring effectually to put down bribery ;
and to do it by means which we must acknowledge
would have gone very far towards accomplishing
the object. Lord BROUGHAM and Sir JOHN had
prepared a declaration to be made by members on
taking their seats, so stringent that no member
could have done what, for instance, Sir Wm.
HATTER, Messrs. PRICE and MONK, Alderman
CARDEN, and Messrs. LEATHAM and CHARLES-
WORTH have just confessed to having done, with-
out blasting thcir reputation for ever.
I Sir JOHN has, we believe, done his best to purify

the boraugh constituencies by any means short of
the Ballot ; and had not the House of Commons
opposed his proposal, and refused to iequire its
members to make an effective declaration, we
should have had no Wakefield and Gloucester
commissions ; it would have been impossible for
gentlemen who had sent above £4,000 each to com-
paratively small constituencies, to have professed
their solemn belief, that, in no way, directly or in-
directly, was their return due to bribery and cor-
ruption.

We may hope, as Lcri BROUGHAM and Sir JOHN'
PAKINGTON have both spoken out so boldly on the
present disgraceful revelations, that the -House will
be_ compelled to do something bona fide against
bribery. "I am sure,"—said the hon. Member—
"that all will agree with me in saying that this vile
system is demoralising to the people, discreditable
to our whole representative institutions, and ren-
ders an appeal to the people not a test of enligh-
tened opinion on any matter of public policy, but a
mere question of who may have the longest purse,
or the most unscrupulous partisans." This is, in-
deed, but a repetition of Lord BROUHAM'S observa-
tions at Bradford—We may say of the opinion of
every unbiassed man. Look at the last Parlia-
ment. Who can deny that Lord PALMER-
STON'S majority was a purchased majority ?

ly the • unseated, if their places were
supplied by Derbyites, would have given that side
the majority. But Tories cannot boast. Glouces-
ter and Wakefield have demonstrated that had
Lord DERBY obtained a majority, that, too, would
have been a purchased majority. There is nothing
to choose, in this respect, between either party, and
Sir JOHN PAKINGTON did not hint that there was.
It may be truthfully affirmed that even a majority
of 50 in the House of Commons, as things now stand,
may be destroyed by free resort to bribery. There
are certainly at least 25 boroughs in the kingdom in
which money spent as freely as at Gloucester or
Wakefield, we may add Norwich and Berwick,
. would have carried the election. Sir JOHN will
perhaps be taunted with Dover, and we are by no
means prepared to defend what he did there. Let
it be recollected, however, that it was but follow-
ing too faithfully the precedents furnished in, what
was understood to be a Government borough, by
other First Lords of the Admiralty. We quite
believe that no man in the house would be more
willing than Sir JoIL to take all such unworthy
influence out of the hands of the Government.
We adverted the other day to the demoralising
influence of bribery on the candidate class,
and nothing in the late investigations has
pained us more than to see what unworthy
artifices and equivocations it has led gen-
tlemen to resort to. Not the least culpable
being, that most common of all, what we
may properly term corrupt ignorance. Surely
hardly any immorality can be much greater than
to minister to crime, and yet by avoiding sight
of the commission of the crime itself to fancy your-
self innocent. Let corrupt ignorance be branded as
it ought. It is not ignorance. The candidates at
the boroughs referred to did know that bribery
must be going on. Either they are such, idiots as
to be on that account disqualified for representing
any constituency in the House of Commons,
or they had sense to know that thousands
of pounds could not be required for honest purposes
with constituencies not exceeding 1,000 or 1,800
voters. Technically, legally, perhaps, these gentle-
men did not know what was done with their money.
Though it was sent in sums solarge, and sent secretly,
yet they had no knowledge of what they did not see
done with it. But would any of them tell a friend
that they had no suspicion, amounting to moral
certainty, that their purses were the fountains of
corruption, at which hundreds of voters wore de-
filing themselves.
Some persons will talk lightly of bribery—
"Oh the poor fellows are glad of it,"—•it's a wind-
fall for them once in a while," and so forth. 'We
believe, in old seasoned, boroughs, like Norwich,
Yarmouth, and those now under the Commission
harrow, there is a good deal of feeling of this kind.
We have even known men boast of the vast sums
of money they have spent in winning an elec-
tion ; Alderman CARDEN himself was said
to have boasted on the Exchange of the money
he had spent on political objects. But do
such men seriously think of what they laugh
about ? We know but too well that the greater
part of what is received in bribes goes in dissipa-
tion. It is received by unprincipled persons, and
spent in drunkenness and vice. It does not even
do the receiver any pecuniary service while it mi-
nisters to their sensuality. But worse than that—it
makes them one and all, as Lord BRotiGiikai observed
morally guilty of perjury. Each takes the bribe,
knowing that he may be called on to take the
bribery oath, and of course prepared to take it, or
openly to confess himself guilty. Ninety-nine out
of a hundred, of those who take bribes, do so, we
believe with Lord BROUGHAM, fully intending to
perjure themselves if called on to take the oath.
With him, we therefore hold them morally guilty
of perjury, and those who furnish the money as
morally guilty of subornation of perjury.
We cannot, of course, dwell on the subject now,
but it should be borne in mind that suppression
of the grosser forms of bribery is but half doing the
work. By all means let us render Gloucester and
Wakefield doings impracticable ; but the cruel
bribery of intimidation, of undue influence ; of
a proprietor of land, almost without saying
a word coercing his tenants ; of the lawyer, ban-
ker, and creditor coercing their clients and debtors ;
of all the nameless unfair means by which one man
overbears the judgment and the electoral liberty of
another—these evils are far more extensive than
the more loathsome ones just now before us, and
for them there is but one known remedy—the
BALLOT. A remedy which need not supersede,
but would rather come strongly in aid of those pro-
posed by Lord BROUGHAM and Sir JOHN
PARIN GTON.

PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—There is now on
the way to tkis country from the Maharajah of Cashmere,
as a present to her Majesty, a most costly shawl tent, which
will contain, moreover, a bedstead of solid gold. The value
of this regal offering is said to exceed fifteen lacs of rupees
(L 150,000).
THE ATLANTIC CABLE.—Messrs. Beardmore and
Robinson, electricians, have visited Valontia this week, and
set on foot a series of experiments on the Atlantic cable.
Encouragement as to the success of the undertaking, both
as regards the resuscitation of the old and the laying of a
new cable, is in the ascendant. These gentlemen found
room, in the state of the cable, to disseminate new courage
among its friends.—Tralee Chronicle.
TIIE LORDS' PROTEST AGAINST THE REJECTION
OF THE BALLOT.—A bill for enabling the Scotch peers to
elect the 16 representative peers for Scotland by ballot was
moved in the House of Lords in 1734, and was rejected.
Many peers protested, " because (to quote the words of their
protest) the method of voting by ballot appears to us infi-
nitely more preferable on many accounts ; for as it is well
known there are several alliances among that body of nobi-
lity, many of the peers may be put under great difficulties,
their alliances drawing them one w ty and their opinions
and inclinations another way. It is also possible that
by pensions from the Crown, or by civil or military
preferments; some of them may be under obligations
to a court and ho reduced to a hard necessity
(under 'tho power of an arbitrary minister) either of
losing their employment or of voting against their nearest
relatives and their own opinions also. We apprehend that
no election can be called perfectly free where any number
of the electors are under any influence whatsoever by which
they may be biassed in the freedom of their choice."
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CAMBERWELL.—Yester-

_
day morning, between one and two, the premises belong,inr,
to Mr. Carter, hairdresser, Camberwell, were discovered Co
be on fire. Mr. and Mrs. Carter, with their two children,
were in their beds asleep. A policeman succeeded in arous-
inc, the inmates, but owing to the fierceness of the flames,
they were unable to get to the front door, and as a last re-
source they made to the back of the building, and succeeded
in reaching the street in safety. Engines were called into
operation, but the whole of the stock in trade was destroyed,
and the building nearly consumed. The origin of the mis-
fortune is unknown. Mr. Carter was insured—the contents
in the Liverpool and Loudon-dace, and the building in the
Sun-office.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THUItsDAY.
A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday at St. Cloud.
This is not a day of news, but there are various
reports of a gloomy description in circulation, some
of them too wild to repeat. Our rumour is that
Neapolitan troops have landed at Ancona. Upon
the whole the complexion of the news from Italy is
unfavourable. Considerable excitement is said to
prevail in Piedmont on account of the conditions of
the Peace, which have transpired and are consi-
dered very unsatisfactory. The state of the
Duchies is also represented as very alarming, and
it is said that Marshal Vaillant has written to the
Emperor, suggesting their occupation by French
troops, or that a civil wa: will shortly break out.

A Paris letter in the Lidependance of Brussels
again brings forward, with some variation, the
plan spoken of a few weeks back for the settlement
of the Italian Duchies. It says
" The signature of the treaty of peace between
France and Austria is the first step towards the
final consummation of the arrangement. You may
be certain that discussions have taken place for
carrying out the plan which was mentioned some
time b ek, and vihich now is said to have abetter
chance of success than ever, though with some slight
modifications. According to that project the defini-
tive treaty of peace is to stipulate that the
Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duchess of
Parma shall be restored ; likewise, that the Duchy
of Parma shall be divided by drawing a straight
line from Pietra Santa and along the road of
Massa, Carrara, Pontremoli, and Scttoloa to Pia-
cenza, all which towns are to go to Piedmont. The
foitification.i, of Piacenza are to be augmented, so
as to defend the frontier of Piedmont. Austria
wanted to make Piacenza a federal fortress, but
she yielded to the opposition of France. The
Duchess of Parma is to have the Duchy of Modena
and Reggio. The Grand Duke of Tuscany before
entering his States is to promulgate a constitution
which has obtained the assent of the French Go-

vernment, and it is not believed that his return
will excite any serious resistance. This plan, how-
ever, has not yet received the assent of Piedmont,
and that is the principal reason of the visit of Gen.
Dabormida to Paris. As things have taken this
turn, all that the Congress will have to do will be
to put the treaty of peace and these slight terri-
torial modifications under the sanction of Europe.
It is believed also that Menton and Monaco will be
definitively annexed to Piedmont, and that the
Prince, as an indemnity, will be allowed princely
honours and a dotation from this latter country.
Such are, it is said, the arrangements come to."
A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels,. says :
" The Sardinian Minister of Foreign Affairs, before
his departure from Turin, received a note from Count
Walewski, delivered by the Prince de Latour
d'Auvergne, and which was a reply to the last me-
morandum of the Piedmontese Government on the
affairs of Central Italy. In the note, Count
Walewski recommended Piedmont to act with
groat prudence, and to avoid furnishing, by too
much ardour, a pretext to the enemies of Pied-
mont to accuse her of acting with a view to ag-
grandisement. The note also expressed a desire
that •nothing should Da changed in the state of
Central Italy until the great powers should have
come to a decision on the subject. It. is in con-
sequence of this language on the part of the count
that the permanent occupation of Parma by the
Piedmontese troops and the regency of the Prince
de Carignan were postponed."
. A second telegraphic despatch from Constanti-
nople states that Fuad-Pacha will probably resign
as well as Aali- Pacha, the Grand Visir. It may
be remembered that these two heads of the Turkish
Ministry had strongly opposed the desire of the
Ambassadors to call Abdul-Medjid's attention to
the situation of the empire, and had received the
collective memorandum very coldly. This is
thought likely to be the cause of the retirement of
those two functionarics.
The Constitalionnel publishes a long article on
the works of general utility which the peace will
enable France to undertake; and among the rest
specifies the new railway liaes now in progress or
in contemplation. It adverts with justifiable satis-
faction to the rapidity with which such works have
been executed in France, after an undue delay at

we have still 7,600 k ilometres to construct, and nearly
3,000,000,000 fr. to disbt zse for them. Such is the object
we have to attain durin tl a new epoch of peace which is
now commencing. And when we shall have accomplished
that object France will have a greater length of railway
than any other counts y in the world, as she will have
16,300 kilometres, whilst the United Kingdom of Great
Britain will only have 15,500. But the same will no
be the case with regard to the population or the superficial
extent of territory. Thug when the great networks shall be
executed Franco will on:ly have 450 kilometres for every
million of the population, whilst in Scotland the proportion
will be 910 kilometeres, im England 866, and in Belgium
482. There is therefore nothing rash in the projects which
we are now endeavouring- to carry out."
The cause of the larger pecuniary returns of rail-
way lines in France as compared with those in
England is thus explained :
" If the English network gives in proportion to its length
a smaller revenue than ours, notwithstanding all the ele-
ments of traffic which ought apparently to give it the supe-
riority, it is because it was constructed without any gene-
ral plan. In order to remain faithful to the principle of
laissez-faire which dominates all her economic organisa •
tion, England authorised the execution of all the lines
demanded, although they were destined to injure ono
another, without procuring to the country any benefit pro-
portionate to the capital which they absorbed. This has
occasioned an unintelligent competition, which has greatly
reduced the average traffic of English railways. In France
we have avoided that mistake, and have divided the terri-
tory into large zones, each served by a single enterprise.
This rational proceeding has prevented the construction of
parallel lines, the waste of capital, and ruinous rivalities.
And that is why our railways have more traffic and are
more profitable, and why they will continue to be produc-
tive even when they shall have received the embranchments
and extensions now in contemplation."

A Vienna letter in the New Prussian Gazette
says :—" The Emperor, on his return to Schoen-
brunn on the 15th from Ischl, immediately receiued
Field Marshal Prince Alexander of Hesse, brother-
in-law of the Emperor of Russia. The Prince, who
has been appointed to the command of a Russian
corps, will only remain here a few days. On the
evening of his arrival from St. Petersburg he re-
ceived a visit from Count de Rechberg, the Presi-
dent of the Council of Ministers. A report is cur-
rent here that an interview is to take place between
the Emperor Francis Joseph and the Emperor
Alexander, and that the Archduke Albert has been
charged to prepare for the meeting of the two Em-
perors at Warsaw." A telegraphic despatch states
that the interview in question is to take place at
Mpslowitz.
