It is this point which, above all others,
we desire to impress upon the English peo.
pie. They can, if they please, abandon the
immense undertaking upon which thew
rave entered, leaving the task practicable
to Russia; but if they do not abandon it.
they must in the end be prepared, as Lord
Granville in his very firm despatch hints
that he is prepared, to do more than
menance. Sir Henry Layard thinks there
is still a last resource, the calling again of
Midhat's Parliament, and Lord Granville
assents to this project but this step, even
if the Sultan gives way, will, we believe.

ment showed unexpected vigour, and
might have controlled both the Pashas
and the Sultan; but it was religious
and patriotic, as we'll as vigorous
in q Mussulman sense, and would con oede even
less 10 the way of autonomy than the Government
itself. 1t accepted with enthusiasm Midhat's
proposal of armed ~resistan ce, though he bellev-

come from Austria as well as Russia. As tho

SIR H. LAYARD ON TURKEY.
(Fr0m the SPECTATOR

For once, we have laid down a Report by
Slr ID. I4aysrd with q sense of pleasure. For
years past we have been enforcing, In season
and out oil season, the doctrine that at the very
basis of the Eastern Question lies the certainty
that the Sultan's Governm emit neither will nor
can reform itself in the European sense. That
Government consists of the Sultan himself, now
moro absolute than any of bis predecessors. and
0 small class of Pashas, selected partly by the
Sultan and partly by what is virtually, sthough
informally, c0-optation ; and neither of these
pOwers sincerely desires, or will Voluntarily en-
dure, what in the West are consid cred :" re.
forms" The Sultan wants to remain not only
an absolute monarch, but the chief of the or
thodox Mahomedan world, which he still be-
1ieves may be re-collected under bis authority
and he will not voluntarily conoede either au-
=, tonomy, to any province, or equality of rights
to any class not Mussulman. The Pashas, a.
gain, desire, some of them plumber, and all of
Shsm that Asiatic form Of authority in which
the rulers volition Is executive and bis will
psrpetbally gratiied, which is Inconsistent
, With Amy, civilized administration whatever.
All alike dread and detest the substitution of
European agency for their own, and from their
! point Of view with good reason. This being
the situation, we havs contended steadily that
II "Turkey" the Eastern half Of the old Roman
world, Is to be restored to civilization, Europe
must either supersede the Snltan-a coarse we
believe 10 have been at ons time very seriously
considefed-or compel his Government, by a
frank exhibition of irresistible physical force.

duty of resistance, to accept its advice and

Mr.. BRADLAUGH IN Tue
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

On Wednesday 23rd June, a great
"scene" took place in the House of
Commons. Mr.. BradIaugh, having
been informed of the purport of the
resolution carried ON the previous
day in the House of Commons, re-
quested, through Mr.. Labouchere, the
other Member for Northampton, to
De heard at the Bar of the House i'm
criticism of the course proposed,
and was SO heard. He delivered
a speech of very effective declama-
ton against the proposal to debar
him from entering on the duties inl-
posed by his constituency, and i'm
posed on him lawfully, since no le-
gal disqualification had ever been so
much as suggested. He had thought
the affirmation the form most in'con-
sonance with his principles and his
conscience, and therefore had asked
TO be allowed to affirm ; and now he
was to be punished for that very
natural and reasonable course, by
being told that as he was not one of
the class allowed to affirm, and as
me had himself suggested objections
10 his taking the oath, he should not
TO allowed to take either, and
could not therefore serve his consti.
tuents in Parliament. 1t wac to the
credit of his honour and veracity he
maintained, that he utterly rerudia-
ted pretending to a belief which he
did not share /; end if the affirmation
were not applicable in his case, the
House had no right to stand in the
way of his taking the oath which the
law required him to take, and which,
though he would have preferred the
affirmation, he had no overwhelming
objection to take. IL he held OPT
Mons which deservedpunishment, let
the law punish him. If the law
could not punish him, the House
had no right to do so. He appeal
ed to the House of Commons to give
him the justice which he had no
doubt the Judges ON the other side
of Westminster Hall would grant, if
he appealed 10 them. DIR. Brad
laughs voice is fine, and the speech
p%roduced,a considerable effect on the
crowded House, though the applause
was faint-Spectator.
