LOSDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1868.

The members of the House of Commons have
certainly no easy task this weather in settling the
Irish Reform Bill, but as so much time has been
wasted at the outset of the Session there is nothing
for it but to make up for lost time now. As might
have been expected it was no easy task. Before
going into committee the Government was re-
quested to withdraw the redistribution part of the
bill on account of its unpopularity. This sugges-
tion, as might have been expected, led to a long
discussion of the pros and cons of the affair. The
consequence of it was, however, that it expedited
the work afterwards, and the bill actually passed
through committee, which is a great thing to have
accomplished. Mr. GREGORY made some very wise
remarks on the subject of deferring the redistribu-
tion part of the bill, declaring that it would not do
for the House to profess itself incompetent to pass
a complete measure for Ireland, and he proposed
that they should take the most spirited course of
fighting over what difficulties might lay in their
path of progress. Mr. DISRAELI promised that due
attention should be given to the progress made,
and when the. redistribution part of the bil
came on for consideration he postponed some
of the chief clauses for future consideration.
Having effected so much, the task of settling will
be much easier when the work is again resumed,
and had it not been for the ingenious process of
skipping it would have been quite impossible to
attain the desired end of arising through com-
mittee. There was only one division, and that of
no particular moment. Mr. LAWSON, the member
for the smallest borough in Ireland, endeavoured
to make a stand in favour of those occupiers in
boroughs that are rated at £4, in contradistinction
to the Government scheme that fixes the standard
at more than £4. Portarlington was not rescued
from the fate originally designed for it,
and Lord MAYO showed that, by consenting to the
amendment, they would unsettle the rating system
of the whole Island, and only add two thousand to
the borough electors when put in force. It is not
surprising that, under these circumstances, the Com-
mons should have rejected the proposal altogether,
although some limitation was afterwards suggested
in respect to it. Mr. DISRAELI has promised that
the bill shall be resumed the first thing on Monday,
so that there is every chance of its being speedily
completed.
Mr. CHILDERS must unnecessarily interfere
again on the subject of the supplies being
taken for nine months only, and went over
the whole ground ag din, declaring that he must
enter his protest "for constitutional precedents'"
sake against the course proposed by the Chan-
cellor of the EKeheiner. It might have been all
very well for one to have entered on this bpie, but
there was quite enough said last week on the ques-
tion, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer's argu-
ments were quite compete is their way. Mr.
CHILDERS is one of those who are of the same:opi-
nion still, because he has been convinced against his
will, and accordingly he yesterday inflicted on the
Eloise another of his lectures on the expediency of
following in the steps of 1,31.1 RUS3EE. in 1811. It
is really very idle to talk in this strain, and the
notion of precedent after is rather a mistaken one.
Why cannot the statesmen of the present day act in
the manner they think the best for the interests of
the public • service without troubling themselves
to ransack the pages of Hansard to see if a noble
lord of the past generation did such a thing half a
century ago, or to speculate if to follow this plan
would be in accordance with the directions
laid down by a particular class of politicians.
„ I
Mr. CHILDERS failed to show that the state
of affairs that existed in 1811 was analogous
to that of the present complication. He allay well
ask, when on the subject of precedents, where Mr. ,

fore, we may come to the conclusion that the I-louse
got through its work very successfully last night,
- and real progress was made in import tut mat-
ters. Notwithstanling the creaking of some,
and the fears of others, and the •earnest wishes
of a :,elect few, there is now every chance of the
Session coming to a close in the regular manner,
with all necessary work accomplished, and the
re-election taking place speedily and effectually.
This shows what can be accomplished by practice
and perseverance, and no one can say that the
occupants of the Treasury Benches have failed in
either of these desirable qualities. The Opposi-
tion has not let them reach their goal without
subjecting them to many searching ordeals, but
they have had the spirit to surmount the difficul-
ties, and escape the pitfalls prepared for them.

The House of Lords, which is generally con-
sidered rather indolent in its manner of conducting
business at this season of the year, is now reversing
the usual order of things, and while the Commons
are wasting their time in personal altercations and
somewhat visionary schemes, the Peers are occupied
in discussing a goo.] many minor matters of prac-
tical interest and importance to the public. Last
evening several bills were advanced a stage, and
motions were made which occasioned some in-
teresting debate. Among those which are
likely to be really of practical service
was the • clause which Lord REDESDALE
proposed to insert is the Sale of Poisons Bill. his
lordship very sensibly suggested that it should be
made compulsory that poisons should be soli only
in one particular form of bottle—a provision which
would certainly avoid many distressing accidents,
and save many lives. This is not the first time
that a proposal-of the kind has been made, and we
believe it was once suggested that poison bottles
should be coloured, but that precaution would be
valueless in the dark. If the bottle were of a par-
ticular size and shape, so that the most careless or
ignorant person must immediately on grasping it
become sensible of the difference the risk of acci-
dents would be very much lessened. The reason
why the change was not specially advocated by the
Pharmaceuticil Society was because they feared it
might be troublesome ; but general security on such
a matter is surely worth a little trouble. Besides,
as Lord REDESDALE justly remarked last evening,
when once it became known that poisons were to be
sold only in particular bottles, and when it was
made unlawful not only to sell poisons in other
bottles, but to sell things not poisonous in this
particular form, much trouble would be saved
and the risk very much lessened. As it is,
we aro constantly hearing of sad accidents
arising from the careless use of poisons whether
they are use .I as medicines or employed for any
domestic business purpose. Our sick nurses, we
may hope, are rapidly improving in knowledge and
skill; but titers must still remain many ignorant
and uncultivated women among them, and there
will always be amateur nurses among the lower
classes, who may be very clever and successful in
attending to the patient, but who are very liable to
make blunders in decip:lering written directions.
Among the revelations from some of our pro-
vincial workhouses it was discovered that many
cf the pauper nurses could not read or
write. Fztal mistakes, too, are often made
in the dim and uncertain light of a sick-
room, and these would be entirely prevented by the
employment of peculiar bottles. In spite of every
warning, and of the sad accidents which they see
and hear of arising from carelessness, some persons
will always be heedless in such matters, and it is
well that some decided precautions should be taken
in the public interest. The report of ' the medical
officer to the Privy Council two years ago dwelt
strongly on the danger to life from the indiscrimi-
nate sale of poisons in village shops. The act
which last night passed through committee, pur-
poses to make certain examinations compulsory
upon ' all persons practising as chemists.
and while the Pharmaceutical Society is to conduct
the examinations the Privy Council is to be the
central authority, and its approval will be necessary
for any regulations of the sale of poisons which the
society may think it necessary to propose. The
noble lord, the President of the Privy Council,
while approving of the bill introduced by his pre-
decessor, observed that he should be glad to see
more restraint put on the sale of opium, for there
was ample evilence that it was destructive to
human life throughout the country. We may hope
that the passing of this bill will lead to increased
legislation in all such matters, and that such
lamentable disasters we now constantly hear of
may henceforward be of rare occurrence.

While the question of how best to deal with the
difficulties attending the education of the masses
is occupying much of the time and thoughts of our
statesmen, it is well that some important topics
relating to the mental training of a higher rank
should not be altogether overlooked. England has
always been justly proud of her public schools,
which, though in many ways impeded, have yet
succeeded, generation after generation, in sending
forth to the world good scholars and high-minded
gentlemen. Their merits, however, are no
reason why their deficiencies should be
overlooked ; they are rather an additional
incentive to supply what is lacking, and to remove
what is superfluous, in order that they should at-
tain a yet higher standard. In the House of Lords
last evening Lord STANHOPE introduced the sub-
ject, and earnestly contended for some change in
the manner of conducting the studies at our great
public schools. Ilis lordship deprecated the exces-
sive attention now given to classical composition,
n which comparatively few boys can excel, fo the
exclusion or neglect of science, modern languages,
and even mathematics, which some thirty years ago
were not even thought of at Eton. Earl STANHOPE,
we are gla-1 to find, does not join with Mr. LOWE
in denouncing the classics altogether. On the
contrary, he admits that the studies of the public
schools should have a classical basis, only he would
like to see less time employed is the construction
of Latin and Greek verses, which, after all; are
often more an exercise of ingenuity than anything
else. It is a very different thing for boys to
study the works of the great masters of
ancient literature and to construct with
much time and labour verses for which
they Kaye perhaps no natural turn. Lord

STANHOPE was able to cite the authority of Dr.
WHEWELL, the late Master of Trinity College.
Cambridge, who was himself distinguished among
our foremost men of science, and of Dr. BUTLER,
the present Head Master of Harrow, who both ad-
vocates a modification of the existing system. The
debate which ensued was full of interest, and though
not leading to definite result, it did good service by
bringing forward the subject.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE,

Last evening a Mr. Allerton made his first ap-
pearance in London as Hamlet. The house was
very full, and an event of some interest was evi-
dently expected. On the entry of Mr. Allerton, in
the second scene of the tragedy, be was most warmly
welcomed. He is a gentleman above the middle
height, with good stage qualifications as far as per-
sonal appearance is concerned, but his voice
is harsh, and so ill governed that his warmest
friends must have experienced far from plea-
sant sensations even so early in the tragedy
as Hamlet's first interview with the Ghost. Here
in breaking from Horatio and Marcellus, Mr. Aller-
ton let loose the whole torrent of his passion, and
gave the first unmistakeable evidence of a want of
discretion, and to such an extent that the very
fine lines commencing, " Unhand me, gentlemen,"
was positively bawled out in the most rugged style.
Want of feeling was again apparent in the plat-
form scene, a tone of affection was altogether
absent, and where Mr. Allerton furnished us with
an original reading of the text, it seemed en-
tirely opposed to the meaning of the great and
immortal author. The first interview between
Polonius and Hamlet was remarkable for novelties.
In making reply to the old man's inquiry with re-
spect to the book held in band, Hamlet is made to
say, "Words, words," but Mr. Allerton gave addition
to the effect by tearing the leaf from out the volume
and throwing it at the feet of Polonius. Again, we
have to take objection to the manner in which Mr.
Allerton gave the well4nown words, " except my
life, except my life."
It seemed most extraordi-
nary that he should address them to Polouius as an
invitation to kill him. The fine soliloquy
commencing—" Why what a rogue and
peasant slave am I" was Mr. Allerton
must forgive us for saying—cut up by the roots.
Nothing like it has ever been done at the Princess's
before, and although the applause that followed it
was loud, it seemed to come mostly from a portion
of the house upon which least reliance ought to be
placed by an actor. IVithout going entirely through
the character we may say Mr. Allerton has much
to study before he can justify his claim to such
parts as Hamlet. It may be that the excitement of
a first appearance disconealed him, therefore before
expressing a decided opinion as to his merits ; we
shall take another opportunity of judging his his-
trionic abilities. The other parts of the tragedy
were supported by Mr. Leeson, Mr. Shore, Mr. B.
Potter, and Mi .s Elsworthy with their accustomed
ability.

The sixtieth Rhine Musical Festival is now
