An real friends to real English Professionalism look
ed with suspicion at the formation of the present ad
ministration; and it became an interesting political
question whether Lord John Russell and his Protest
ant friends would bring down Gladstone and his
Puseyite clique or whether Gladstone and the Oxford
malignants would screw up Lord John in a corner;
and, ! faith, present appearances seem to Indicate
that the latter will be the result The Chancellor OF
the Exchequer is willy, subtle man, and he Is act
ing in concert with the Bishop Of Oxford who, all
the world knows, is very subtle prelate. 1t is very
much to be feared therefore, that aided by Monsel,
the apostate, Lord Aberdeen, and the rest OF his
| Puseyite allies in the cabinet, Gladstone and the
Bishop will prove far too strong for little Lord John,
who has already allowed himself to be dragged
through the dirt, and compelled to eat humble pie,
IN the shape OF an apology for his Protestant speech,
uttered in the heat Of debate. We are not ultra Pro-
testants, or by any means disposed to be ibera to
the Roman Catholics but their aggressive spirit and
the beating violence Of their priesthood make
1t absolutely necessary for Protestants to make
resOlute standpro arts ct focis Ever since 1858 we
have been Protestant people, ruled by Protestant
governors and however clever Mr. Gladstone and his
proPopish allies and hackers may be, they are not
the men for the times and cannot be trusted the
guardians OF the Protestant principles of the crown.

Although we have no sympathy with Mrs. Stowe
and the aristocratic clique of Stafford House. we yet
see no reason why we should refuse our need of ap-
probation and encouragement to the American vo

Swan who has just come cut in London under the
wing of their patronage. She is, both by birth and
in appearance, decided unmstakeable negress,
born of full African father and hafcaste mother
and she was herself born and brought up in slavery
though liberated in her childhood. On the death of
her mistress, this young persons musical talents |
were brought into public notice. as well as to GER
tain degree cultivated by proper vocal instruction.;
but it is quite evident that she has yet much, very
much, to learn, ere she be able to vie with the &C.
compished singers of Europe. Nevertheless, as q |
Degress, she Is prodigy, and cannot be listened to
without great pleasure, though it may still be ques-
toned whether it would not have been better for her
to have acquired more musical skill and knowledge
ere she yentured to stand the test of fastidious
nice-eared British audience. Her voice is con-
trato of great clearness and of very mellow tone in
the upper register, while in the lower it is full
nant and powerful, though occasionally somewhat
masculine She is more peculiarly effective in ballad
music, and more particularly in pathetic ballads
Her Cradle Song by Wallace, and Home, Sweet
Home" found rapturous encore; and, on the whole
she was received with great applause The pro-
gramme however was rich to profusion quite indie
