The Government of England will shortly be
placed in more anomalous position than any
in which it has yet been exhibited. The Derby
ministry will have had short lease Of power.
So soon as Parliament assemblies the Tory rule
ceases. Who will be their successors-what
shape a new ministry will assume whether
Wing or semi Radicals the question. Conser-
vative it cannot be. 1t is by sem-Radical inAu-
ences the Derby ministry has been overthrown.
The party that is to govern must be recruited
measurably from the ranks Of the Free Trade
leaders, whatever Of the element Of Whigsm
may enter into the combination. Whether Lord
John Russell or Lord Palmerston has the Pre-
miership, it will be impossible in the new minis
terial organization to exclude Mr.. Golden or
some of his party. The signs Of new combi-
nation have been already apparent. Whatever
changes take place in the character Of the min
istry that supersedes its predecessor, the fact is
still broad and palpable that the tendency is
more and more to Democracy in England.
This change which the people Of the Cont
uent could not effect violently, the people Of
England are bringing about gradually. We do
not think that for some years yet annual Par
liamcnts and universal suffrage are to be among
the victories Of radicasm. But an extension of
the suffrage much beyond its present limits, if
not triennial Parliaments, are in nearer pcrspec-
tive than many imagine. The march of public
opinion is in that direction, most uncquivocaly.
A wider constituency and aretormed Parliament
letting in more and more Of the Democratic
spirit, are steps that must conduct finally to uni
versal suffrage and a shorter duration of the
House of Commons.
The effect Of government like that Of Eng
land reposing on a wider democratic basis must
be to change its character orgapically. 1t must
lose its present olgarchical element The House
Of Peers must become an assembly with nomi-
nal prvieges-men who sit in conclave with IT,
ties and ribbons, without real power. As hercdi-
tary Legislators their patents of nobility will ena-
bic them to occupy conspicuous place in a roy
al ceremonial. Such must be the destiny of an
oligarchy whose authority, within their own sphere
of legislation. in conflict with the power of the
PEOPLES House, will be inevitably suhverted.
The House Of Commons will absorb all the pow.
ers of legislation and become paramount. This
will be followed by popular disrespect for heredi
tary rank. How far reverence for royalty will
then consist with the loss of prestige by the no,
bity Of England, is question whose solution
we may leave to history.

A CHARADE.

A poet who, our passions sways,
By his moving melting lays.
A warrior renowned and bold,
Whose deeds have been sung by poet; OF old.
A king whose Young days were spent,
In the wild woods, meath a rude shepherds tent.
a tyrant whose hands were stained
With the blood of the innocent whom he had slain
A philosopher who for his doctrines mild,
Was cruelty treated, and rudely reviled.
My whole poet whose soul-stirring strain,
The prince and the peasant alike entertain.

a parcel of ground, about six Acres was sowed
IN wheat which WAS destroyed by rust and was
10; rcap"d. In 1850, the ground was not cul-
t;vatrd In 1851, the ground was cultivated in
corn. and harvest of hat gram was reaped
In 1862, volunteer wheat was discovered, which
WIS <uupro>rd to be Cheat but was suffered to
grow up and mature. 1t turned out, however,
to b. excellent wheat, and the crop was reaped,
producing 3i 3-4 bushels from six Acres Of ground.
This was indeed an extraordinary circumstance
