combination of dissimilar trades is the most natural
thing possible. Then we see the ruling prejudice
of these classes against personal eminence. They do
not want one working man to get on better than
another working man, and even profess great indig-
nation at hearing tkat they are not all prudent or
laborious or intelligent alike. Then, again, in the
case:of the Sheffield artisans, we observe the strong
desire of the men to keep a monopoly of combina-
tion. We are not acquainted with the original merits
of the controversy, but we may pretty safely assume
that, whereas the 300 men who struck were to have
been supported by the 3,400 who did not strike until
the object was gained, the masters have defeated the
plan by locking out all the 3,700 together. This, as
usual, is described as oppressive and tyrannical con-
duct, such as ought to attract the sympathies of the
public to the side of the men. Yet it is evident that,
except for such retaliation, the masters must ine-
vitably be overpowered, and that they have the jus-
tification of self-defence to plead for their resolu-
tions. Such, however, are the representations which
the Unions now give of their views and their pro-
ceedings. They show us the working man more con-
cerned about his daily wage than his political posi-
tion, though ready enough to be turned towards
politics by the delegates of his Unions, They show
him jealous of personal competition, and desirous
rather of such average reckonings as would put the
whole class upon a general level. In all this there
is little surprising, or, for that matter, discreditable,

principle which, for
feiniroarunwis.mfilirteoeht
hoanytehisdrilvaesat nightfrom
the last five years, have commanded
the country. What more they may have to bear
will come from their old enemies ; whom they are
accustomed to encounter, and whose hostility is a
matter of course. The reproaches of their friends,
so loudly echoed by the voice of their conscience,
are now silent. Some comfort they may take from
this, and in good Booth they had need of some com-
fort when Mr. Lowe sat down. No speech during
the whole debate had been so damaging—had so
successfully searched out every weak point in their
armour, and stung with the lash of a merciless wit
every sore place where their ill-fitted and hastily-
indued harness had galled them. Lord Stanley was
equally logical, Sir E. B. Lytton was yet more elo-
quent; but Mr. Lowe hit the blots of the Ministe-
rial argument nearly as effectively as Lord Stanley,
and the taste of the house as exactly as the member
for Hertfordshire; while he hit the Ministers them-
selves the hardest blows they have sustained during
the debate, and the vehement cheering of the Oppo-
sition bore witness to their keen appreciation of the
cutting taunts and telling sarcasms with which he
avenged the many perversions of fact and truth, the
unfair quotations and unjust imputations, where-
with he had been assailed. The course pursued by
Mr. Gladstone upon this bill, in its broad defiance
of decorum and its gross disrespect to the house, had
never before been so clearly and so justly characte-
rised. Mr. Lowe reminded a crowded assembly how
he had brought in the Franchise Bill without giving
the shadow of a reason for it; how he had reserved
those reasons, nor for the close of the debate, not for
the discussion on the second reading, but for the
ears of a more friendly audience at Liverpool; how
warmly he there advocated an extensive franchise,
justified his bill and denounced his adversaries; and
into what languor and indifference the fire and elo-
quence of his provincial speeches had subsided when
he once more rose to address the House of Commons.
It is not usual for the leader of that house to reserve
his best energies and his earliest and fullest expla-
nations for any other audience, even though they
be his own constituency. But Mr. Gladstone has
been at no pains to conceal his want of respect
and confidence for the assembly in which he holds
so high a place. Mr. Lowe, amid indignant
cheers, recalled the Minister's declaration, that
"he knew with whom he had to deal," and would
not trust them with a full disclosure of his purposes
until he had bound their hands by a virtual pledge
to accept the most essential part of his scheme.
ment he avoided-his total lack of confidence in them.
Gradual concessions, indeed, he has reluctantly and
ungraciously made; but on one thing he has insisted
—that the House of Commons shall read a second

will. That nubmiceinn can serve no purpose • for
the house may, if it please, rejcot in
committee%
every single clause of the bill, or throw it ad the
Seats Bill out together on the third reading. All
that a majority in to-night's division could do
would be, in Mr. Lowe's words, to humiliate and
degrade the house, to make it pass under the yoke,
and exhibit the Chancellor of the Exchequer in an
attitude of triumph, extorting from Parliament
obedience to commands of which the consequences
are for the moment concealed from it in pure
wantonness, that its vote may be what Catholics
call an act of faith, and not an intelligent and in-
dependent judgment. This unconstitutional sub-
mission, this unworthy act of faith, a large portion
of the Liberal party—numbering in its ranks some
of the ablest, some of the noblest, some of the most
respected numbers of that party—have refused to
make ; and they havebeou revved for their ref u,,,a1
with an intolerant ieryour which imports into
politics the principles of the Inquisition. Their con-
duct has been more than once-ably and successfully
defended, but never was its justification more per-

The following mot is attributed to Herr von
Ersedoin, the Prussian Minister at Florence, upon General
La Marmora assigning the embarrassed condition of the
finances of Italy as a reason why Italy should not engage
in war:—" Draw at bullets upon Austria and at sight upon
Prussia. There are 400 millions in Berlin to honour your
drafts."

ENGLISH DUELLISTS IN TRANCE. —La France
states that Captain Morton, whose difference with Lord
Ranelagh was recently the subject of magisterial inter-
ference at Brighton, hating challenged Mr. S. C. Price, an
officer in a Highland regiment, the two disputants landed,
with their respective seconds, on Tuesday last at Calais
with the intention of deciding their quarrel upon French
soil in a method which is happily obsolete and illegal in
their own country.
