The following extract from the London
correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune refers
20 ! subject. % which We have fteaseasly
alluded. and IL may b Of interest to those
OF our sesders who have not already read il
II the gti1sae. In recent conversation
with IN iatclligeat friend, hiuseif an Eng
iishaan. he expressed the opinion that the
present agitation in England was not aimed
a the Aristecsaey - such, but only Al that
system which persists in taking all the ad-
ninisssativs officers Of government fron :
clique Of noble families. Primegsniture

hes the force Of tradition, to place the sec

Of charrh and State, which would enable

whom their anger would happen to con-

might again be enacted. But We quote
what The Tribsae's correspondent has to
cay on the subject
"The Tory papers say that the present
Standardization is composed principally OF
the members Of three familes-Howards.
Cave ndishes and Covers, ell Of them reis-
ted to or in affinity with each other, and that
Cabinet Council, with the sole exception
Of Sir w. Molesworth. might be taken for
family party At Sutherland House, Wo-
burn Abbey or Castle Howard. We might
extend THE remark still further. The House
Of Lords, with the exception Of few law
peers, has become . family party. Earl
Granville justly remarked the other night
that be is related to 50 many peers that he
sees his kin equally divided between the
supporters Of the administration and the op-
position. and many other peers may say
the same. la fact, the governing classes
in England have by intermariage become
clique divided into two factions apparent
~ differing 10 opinions, and alternately up
setting one another. still united in the de-
sire hot to allow the reins of government
to fall into the hands Of the middle classes.
Such being the constitution Of the House
Of Lords the discussion on Lord Eilenbo-
borough's resolutions on Monday last was
very tame affair. Lord Peterborough very
justly censured the policy OF the Govern
ment a. regards the expedition to the Cri-
nea and pointed to far better plan, that
is to say to double campaign; one Turko-
French. the other Turko-English enc in
Bessarabia, the other in Georgia and Ar
menia. But the House of Lords did not
pay any g eat attention to these sugg stions,
real statesmsnship and farseeing policy be-
ing At Z discount among them. Adminis,ra-
