SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS,

Tile Times says the late Archbishop had gained the
attachment of the Church and the confidence of the State,
and there are none who will not feel his decease as a pre-
mature loss. He possessed one qualification for his post
in which he can rarely have been equalled. The Church
of England shares in an eminent degree in the varied
life of the nation, and the work of her clergy is singularly
diversified. But there was scarcely any form of Church
work in which Dr. Longley had not been engaged, and
he had acquitted himself honourably in all. Bishops
have been selected from college authorities, from school.
masters, from men of learning, or from parochial ministers.
Dr. Longley had been each of these in turn before he was
summoned to the bench. The Times remarks upon the
prudent moderation of Dr. Longley. It would have been
hard for him to withstand the popular outcry against Dr.
Colenso, but had he lived to watch the further course of
the entanglement, it is to be hoped his customary
prudence would not have deserted lihn. His
policy in summoning the Pan-Anglican Council was
questionable, but he at least restrained the " Synod."
Between the two extremes of Rationalism and Ritualism
he held a middle course. In his poison the Church still
maintained her identity with the grave and moderate
religion of his predec2ssors, and he has left no entangle-
ments for his successor. It is, perhaps, for the peace of
the Archbishop that he died before the coming tempest in
the Church has fairly arisen. His successor is not to be
envied, nor is the Government for its task of appointment.
The Times has confidence that Mr. Disraeli will make a
good choice.

According to the Standard if we desire to estimate the
loss which the Church of England has sustained in the
death of its metropolitan, we have but to glance at its
present position. Party feeling never ran higher than it
did during Dr. Longley's tenure of office, and it is due
solely to the mingled firmness and gentleness with
which he exercised his authority and influence that
the strife has not been far more bitter, and the
results far snore disastrous. For Dr. Longley
.sfts a statesman as well-. as an. ecclesiastic,
and he knew that in a comprehensive body like the
Church of England the rein must not be drawn too
tightly, or too obviously in one direction. He succeeded
to the see of Canterbury at a period when the administra-
tive incapacity and blind partisanship of his amiable and
well-meaning predecessor had brought matters to a serious
pass. Upon his translation to Canterbury, Dr. Longley
was naturally besieged by the extreme men on both sides.
He succumbed to neither. He gave each party credit for
sincerity and good motives, but he rebuked the short-
comings and intolerance of the one section,_ and the
arrogance and provocativeness of the other. At the
same time, he, never forgot that he was the con-
stituted champion of the Church against external
aggression or coercion, whether on the part of the State
or the Legislature in Downing-street or in Parliament. It
was no slight achievement that the spiritual head of a
Church so heavily trammelled should be enabled by sheer
force of a personal invitation to assemble the representa-
tives of the Anglican Communion throughout the world hi
conference at Lambeth. That gathering of 170 bishops
from the uttermost ends of the earth marks an era in the
history of the English Church, and witnesses to the hearty
fellowship and religious unity which still pertains among
the daughter Churches she has planted up and down the
world. It was a grand conception, and it was amply
realised, and the wise, kindly, far-seeing prelate, who
imagined so vast a scheme, will always be remembered in
connection with its happy fruition.
The Daily News holds that amidst all the changes which
have overtaken the episcopal office in modern times the
see of Canterbury has preserved some faint traditions of
mediaeval dignity. Though shorn of the privileges which
once belonged to the first subject of the realm, the Arch-
bishop still holds a position little short of princely, and
might, if he chose, exert an influence of which it is diffi-
cult to overrate the extent. A vacancy in the metropoli-
tan throne calls, therefore, for something more than the
mere obituary which follows the death of an ordinary
bishop. The interest of the event belongs to the
future as well as to the past. The administration
of the Archbishop has been marked by great
moderation. The Daily News recommends the Bishop of
Lincoln as belonging to the type from which archbishops
are selected. Mr. Disraeli, however, has no dislike to dis-
tinction when there is nothing to be gained by ignoring
it ; and if the exercise of his patronage should immediately
precede his departure from office, he may possibly
prefer the credit of making a good appointment
to the convenience of making a merely safe one.
The appointment of the Bishop of Lichfield would be the
most popular throughout the country. The Bishop of
London would, under ordinary circumstances, be the first
in the thoughts of a Minister, but his health is too preca-
rious. The Bishop of Oxford has abilities which would fit
him to occupy the highest place in the Church, but we
cannot imagine any statesman thinking his appointment to
this vacancy desirable.

The Telegraph says that in the placid and prosperous
current of the Archbishop's career there is not much with
which to furnish the elegiac muse; his career was that of
an extremely fortunate, judicious, and pious Churchman,
and his character was of that equable and uncoloured kind
which escapes censure by declining speciality. Com.
menting upon the appointment of his successor, the
Telegraph remarks that we want in the days of
irresistible change approaching, not foolish prelates
who will try to stem the stern flood now gathering,
but wise ones, skilful to lead it in the channel of a
right and religious mood. Divines must make up their
minds to move with the current, for they will find that
the effort to stem its passage is as vain as the attempt of
King Canute to keep the sea from wetting his footstool.
With the pious and accomplished Dr. Longley the quiet
times for Church and privilege have passed away. The
keen, investigating, critical thoughts which have been
gathering are preparing their instrument while we write,
and will by-and-by take it in hand.

The Star describes the late Primate as of a fine presence,
a benignant aspect, and a good voice. Like his prede-
cessor, his disposition was amiable and his manners con-
ciliatory, and, like him also, he possessed no great force of
character. This was, perhaps, his chief recommendation
to those who elevated him to the primacy. To put a
strong partisan, a bold and uncompromising ecclesiastic,
in the foremost place in the English Church, would
not have suited the views of statesmen who, above all
things, desired to see moderate councils prevail in the
Establishment, and to strike the balance evenly between
opposing parties. The cast of his mind appeared to tend
towards what are called Evangelical opinions, and to the
practice of a sober ritual ; but, at the same time, he
was not so pronounced as to prevent friendly and even
cordial relations with that school of thought which is repre.
sented by the Bishop of Oxford and Dr. Pusey. It would be
hazardous to venture a prediction as to his successor.
It remains to be seen whether the Premier will be guided
by purely party considerations, or whether he will elevate .
to the vacant archbishopric the prelate best qualified to
serve the Church of England in this crisis of her history.
The forces which are at work in the Church are probably
too powerful to be guided or restrained by the authority of
any primate, however great his sagacity ; but a good man,
a true Protestant, one who blended the traditional feelings
of an English prelate with some regard for freedom and
progress, might exercise a salutary influence on the religious
future of this kingdom.

The Times says that to any one who does not lose sight
of the material interests of the country amid the more
exciting Questions of party politics, such an incident as the
reception of Lord Salisbury at Manchester is very
gratifying. That nobleman is known under two aspects—
first, as a staunch and unbending Conservative, whose
vigorous oratory has never been wanting when any measure
of a democratic or latitudinarian character has been advo-
cated by the party opposed to him ; secondly, as a man of
powerful practical understanding, a remarkable talent for
administration, and an enegetic will in carrying out what
an acute judgment tells him to be best. Lord Salisbury
was, by the admission of men of all parties, an excellent
Indian Secretary. That country has never failed to
obtain the services of able men in various departments. -
An immense share of the political and administrative
talent of this kingdom has always been attracted to it.

The Post remarks that the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce has very properly acknowleged the vigour and
ability displayed by the Marquis of Salisbury during the
term he held office as Secretary of State for India. Few
men are more capable of speaking with authority on Indian
affairs. With regard to India, with the exception of
Manchester, few places seem to trouble themselves any
more about it than they might be expected to do if it did
not belong to us, and as if we had not incurred those high
responsibilities concerning its welfare which Lord Salisbury
reminds us of—to say nothing of its immense value as a

possession. •

it is highly honourable to the Marquis of Salisbury that

IF M. VICTOR HuGo would only recognise the true
bent and force of his genius! As Poet, he is facile
princeps in the present generation : certainly in
French literature, even though among his contem-
poraries there still survives the veteran LAMARTINE.
As Novelist, the author of " Notre Dame" and " Les
Nliserables" need shrink from no comparison. As
Dramatist, his claims upon European consideration
are assured and resplendent--thanks to such master-
pieces as " Ruy Blas" and " Marion de Lorme." But
—as Politician, even we would say as Critic, his
position is simply ludicrous. In evidence of this, it
would really only be necessary to nvert to two of his
most remarkable achievements as Critic and as
Polltician. In the latter capacity, his " Na-
peldon la PetiL"—according to our view of
it at lent —was worse than ridiculous. It
evidenced so much at once of the venom
of malignity and of the impotence of a rage
that was simply beside itself. Similarly, in his capa-
city as critic, M. VICTOR HUGO, this great Poet, this
true Lyrist, Dramatist, Romancist, never made a
more preposterous exhibition of his incapacity than
when, four years ago, he gave to the world that ex-
travagant rhapsody of his about SIIAKSPERE. Once or
twice in his otherwise brilliant and honourable career
he has (seemingly under the influence of some morbid
hallucination) prostituted his genius to the composi-
tion of verses as seductive in their beauty as they have
been shameless in their depravity. It was thus with
his" Chansons des Rues"—songs less of the street than
of the kennel, warblings suitable rather for the bag-
nib than for the salon. It is not, however, with that
viler degradation of his rare gifts as a Poet that we would
here deal. Our reference now is to the absurdity of the
tone in which he every now and then attempts to
dictate to public opinion upon matters of political
import, frequently matters in no way concerning
himself either as an exile or as a Frenchman. Upon
these occasions when he takes pen in hand his better
judgment takes leave of him altogether. And—re-
membering in his regard, at these moments, that won-
derfully terse and witty axiom of BUFFON'S, " Le
style c'est l'homme"—we would almost say of him
that he is a man no longer. Certainly, not a ra-
tional man. Style vanishes altogether. Rhetoric
gives way to rhodomontade. Reading his political
lucubrations at these times, no one would conceive for
an instant, who knew nothing whatever of
the writer, that they were penned by
one who was otherwise a perfect master of
his craft ; one remarkable, elsewhere, even in
the manner of his composition, for the " curiosa
felicitas verborum ;" one with whom in his saner
moments words were as dexterously played with as
the golden balls, and the glittering knives, and the
blooming fruit tossed to and fro in the hands of an
Indian juggler. Happily for his legion of admirers,
whether as Poet or as Romance writer, whether as
Lyrist or as Dramatist, M.
_VICTOR HuGo but very
seldom indulges in these political vagaries against
which we are here enveighing. When he does, he
is, according to a homely idiom, just simply off his
head. It is with him at these moments, as it is with
GARIBALDI whenever he has exchanged the handling
of a sword for the fingering of a goosequill. He writes
in a sort of delirium. We almost look to see
the letter, or whatever it may happen to be, dated
from a ntaison de sante. Just such a letter as this,
M. VICTOR HUGO has, within the last day or two,
written apropos to Spain. It is published in the
Libertj, and is addressed—the writer of the commu-
nica ion says at the top of it—" To my dear and
great friend EMILE DE GIRARDIN." Whether ENIILE
DE GIRARDIN—that " dear and great friend" (great,
in what capacity we are left to conjecture)—under-
stands the drift of the meaning of his correspondent
we know not. But, most certainly the outer public,
the uninitiated, will altogether fail to do so. It must
remain an inscrutable and insoluble mystery to more
than Brother SAM or Lord DUNDR.EARY. It is pre-
cisely one of those very things that " no fellow will
ever understand." The Siecle declares it to be—
what the writer in the Sleek, in his own inner
consciousness, no doubt deems it to be—" mag-
nifique." But if it is so, it is so only in the
sense in which one of the most brilliant general
officers in the French army in the Crimea pro-
nounced the same opinion in regard to the cavalry
charge at Balaklava—" C'est magnifique, mais ce
n'est pas la guerre." So we might say here—if we

IRELAND—INDIA ; Dublin—Bombay. The two
countries, the two cities, are far apart topographi-
cally ; they are still farther politically. We have
had Ireland ad nauseam ; even the clergy must be
weary of seeing " The Irish Church." There is not
one of the twelve hundred candidates who has
not said his say on that topic ; not one
of the many thousand journals which has
not discussed it in editorials. But of
India, who speaks or writes ? For India, who
cares ? incl. yet India supplies Queen VICTORIA
with forty times as many subjects as Ireland ; and
yet India is as much more difficult to govern as the
mutiny of 1857 was more dangerous to British rule
than the rising at Tallaght in 1867. Consider for a
moment what the task is. It is nothing less than
ruling two hundred millions of Asiatics by about a
hundred thousand Europeans. It is nothing less
than reconciling Buddhists and 3lahominedans to a
Christian rule and to each other. It is nothing less
than governing, ten thousand miles away from home,
one-fifth of the whole population of the globe,
who are totally unaccustomed to British modes of
thought and action, and who are totally incapable of
self-government. The visionary writers of the
Positivist school tell us that it is our duty to clear out
of India, and let the country rule itself. It would be
a cruelty to do so ; it would be a crime to do so.
True, we got possession of the land in the first place
too often by cruelty and crime; but having done so,
having taken upon ourselves the responsibility of
regenerating and governing this great empire, it
would be unutterably disgraceful to abavdon it.
We have destroyed one system ; it would
be a sin to forsake the other. True that
even now, if the Indians are asked whether they
prefer their own rule with all its injustice and
corruption, to ours with its rigid equity, they
will say that they prefer the first. They cannot
understand our strict regard for truth, our inaccessi-
bility to bribes, our severe legal etiquette, if we may
use such a word. But this want of appreciation of
the present order of things is no more an argument
against it than the child's preference for being allowed
to do as it pleases is an argument against parental
discipline. We cannot leave India, but we must
be careful to consult her feelings and prejudices, so
far as we can do so without injury to her.
How to do this is one of the greatest problems of
the day. Yet it is one, as the Marquis of SALISBURY
has just said at Manchester, in which scarcely any-
one takes interest. Only two election addresses
have, he declares, referred to it. Reading these
addresses and speeches, we might suppose that there
was no such country in the world, or at least that we
had no concern with it. But there are signs and
tokens that this indifference will not continue much
longer. Manchester, which has before now taken the
lead in directing Imperial policy, Manchester, which
abolished Protection, which is going to abolish
drunkenness, is awaking to the vast importance of
our Eastern Empire. The Marquis of SALISBURY,
who perhaps knows as much of India as any man
living, has been shewing how intimate is the connec-
tion between Indian and British prosperity. This
nobleman, par excellence a Tory, has been visiting
what Mr. FERRAND would call the "cotton lords,"
and telling them how they may further the interests
of " the city of the damned." They must induce
Indian cotton growers to pay more attention to
quality. They must urge upon Government the con-
struction of railways, independently of the conside-
ration as to whether the works will pay. They must
get the commercial element represented at the Indian
Council, so that not only the eminent lawyer, the
skilful engineer, the brave general, the distin-
guished statesman, but the Lancashire mill-owner
shall have some voice in the government of
India. Words like these from a marquis,
the future hope of the Tory party, are
enough to make the dead squires of twenty years ago
rise from their graves. There was worse in store.
The ex-Secretary of State for India declared that
whereas it had been said that a circle drawn from St.
Paul's with a radius of thirty miles, and a circle drawn
from Manchester with a similar radius, would com-
prise about the same number of inhabitants ; and,
whereas it had been held certain that these great
masses of population would really before long govern
the nation, he would choose that Manchester rather
than London should govern. If these words had come
from plain RICHARD COBDEN, they would have
been denounced by every Tory candidate, from Har-
wich to Galway, from Shetland to St. Ives. But it
is the Most Noble ROBERT CECIL, Marquis of
Salisbury, who has said it, one of the foremost states-
men of the day, who is not surpassed in clearness of
vision, who knows well enough that strength comes
from union, and union from identity of interests,
and that whereas London is a collection :of towns

TYVYAN'S PANEGYRIC ON THE SEA.
She is not cruel if her breast swell high
Against the winds that thwart her loving aim
To link, by every raft whose course she speeds,
Man's common brotherhood from pole to pole ;
Grant she bath danger—Sanger schools the bravo,
And bravery leaves all cruel things to cowards.
Grant that she harden us to fear,—the hearts
Most proof to fear are easiest moved to love,
As on the oak whose roots defy the storm,
All the leaves tremble when the south-wind stirs.
urs PRAISE OF THE NEW WORLD.
Yet if the sea dismay thee, on the shores
Kissed by her waves, and far, as fairy isle s
In poet dreams, from this grey care-worn world,
Blooms many a bower for the Sea Rover's bride.
I know a land where feathering palm-trees shade
To delicate twilight, suns benign as those
Whose dawning gilded Eden ;—Nature, there,
Like a gay spendthrift in his flash of youth,
Flings her whole treasure on the lap of Time.
There, steeped in roseate hues, tho lakeliko sea
Heaves to an air whose breathing is ambrosia;
And, all, the while, bright-wingel and warbling birds,
Like happy souls, released, melodious float
Thro' blissful light, and teach the ravished earth
How joy finds voice in Heaven.

Than Caesar filled—his war-ship ; for my realm
Add to the ocean, hope—and measure it !

We wrest from Spain the sceptre of the seas, -
And in the New World build up a new England.

Room at the Court—room there, beside the throne !
Ah, the new Earl of Montroville ! His lands

Not so—the coronet conceals grey hairs.

WATCIIING FROM THE PRECIPICE.
From bough
To bough he swings—from peak to slippery peak
I see him dwindling down ; —the loose stones rattle ;
Ile falls—he falls—but 'lights on yonder ledge,
And from the glaring sun turns steadfast eyes
Where still the sea-gulls wheel! now crawls, now leaps;
Crags close around him—not a glimpse nor sound !
0, diver for the dead —bring up but bones,
And round the skull I'll wreathe my coronet.
