THE RANGER OF GREENWICH IS !U-ntamed (says the Mired Service Gazette) that the Ranger. ship of Greenwich Park, vacant by the death of Burl Canning, is to be conferred on his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The ranger's house is being fitted up for the residence of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur. A letter from Dresden of the 29th ult. stater; that on the previous day the Prince of Wales attended Divine service in the protestant church in that city, and, after having visited, in company with the King, the Hereditary Prince, and Prince Graorge, the fortress of Home. stein, dazed with the royal family at Pilnitz. On the following day there was to be a grand hunt soda state dinner at Moritzburg. A letter from Berlin says :—" The Prince Royal, who accompanied the King to Baden, will only remain at that place until the 2nd October. He will then proet • d to Coburg to meet Queen Victoria, several members of her family, and the Princess Royal." His Excellency Count Bernatorff, it is definitively arranged, will rerun* his post as Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of St. Jailleel.

His Excellency the Swedish and Norwegian Minister, Count Wachtmeister, his arrived at 10, Strattonstreet, Piccadilly, from Sweden. The Earl and Countess Delawarr and the Hon.

Only a few days ago, for examp'e, Sir JOHN PAZINOTON addressed a large assembly of his countrymen for a couple of hours without alluding to any topic of public interest, or Iraout saying anything at all that was worth hearing or remembering. From the beginning to the end, his wordy harangue consisted of elementiv./ platitudes that might possibly have ken respectable once, but are now completely worn out and exhausted. What is the use of a great party at all if its leaders cannot or will not express an opinion on the only questions that have any real public interest t For a great party to remain silent at aimoment when the forces and principles that determine the freedom and progress of society are in active conflict is little better than political suicide. After reading Mr. Duntaxm's recent speech we are not sure that he would not have consulted hie reputation and influence by being silent on social as well as political subjects. The main object of his address at Aylesbury seems to have been to defend the vicious and degrading system of giving good conduct prizes to agricultural labourers. The ground on which his defends rests affords a curious and very instructive illustration of the unconscious contempt entertained by the new and more enlightened Tory school for the classes with whom itprofeases to sympathise. Referring to the good conduct prizes, Mr. Disaasia says :—" What was " the origin of these rewards when they were first " instituted T We had to act upon a peasantry " who, through the maladministration of the Poor" laws, were not in that position in which we " wished to find the labourers of the land ; we had " to create in them a feeling of self-respect, and " to develop a feeling of emulation. These re The Earl and Counteea Russell and Lady Victoria Raseell, who cams to Pembroke Lodge, Rh:limed, from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath at Loogleat, Wilts, early in the week, have gone to Woburn Abbey, Beds, where they purpose residing a month.
