" One Foot On Sea And Onie On Shore, To ...
" One foot on sea and onie on shore , to one thing consta ^ never " - ~ thftt is exactly the position of parliament taen just now , with one foot in the House ' and one on the- Hustings . Lord John stands more upon the hustings than the fldoiy and he ha , s nujj forth . ' -aletter to the electors of London , asking i £ ^ nejyal oi ' filie ^ gramme- is almost entirely retrospective , Lord Derby has met him by a remarkable declaration , that
a five-shilling duty pn corn is' ^ not necessary , " but only " desirable ; " that is , Xbrd Derby thought it desirable , and still retains ihat opinion ; only he has now arrived at , the conviction that it is not desirable under existing circumstances-r-that is , in default of a great majority . SoProtection is shelved . Maynooth is shelved ferthe wsiiisottj ^ he * djourned debate on Mr . Spooler ' s motion for a committee of enquiry was resumed early on
Tuesday , and , the debate flagging , there was a motion , half jocose ,, half mischievous , to adjourn it to the Derb y day-ultimately that ruse to Leave it at the mercy of the Irish brigade and the non-sporting radica ls was defeated , and the debate-was adjourned to the evening * butbefore it ' could be resumed , we House was counted out . Few high Protes-^ nts had thought it worth their while even to % and keep a house . ,
§ Commons have forwarded the bill to con-Jjwe the Poor-law Commission . On behalf of Mirylebone , Lord Dudley Stuart raised a question respecting the exemption of parishes under local ¦ Jw . Exempt them , said Sir John Troljope , and ™ not exempt all parishes whatsoever ? That w ° u m ° to ab ° l > shing the commission , which vouw mvojve the overhauling of the whold » ys-A m ; m & for that Sir John was not prepared . « u no shame to him : since nobody is yet prert
, 7 tor the next reform . The addendum was Seated by U 2 to 33 . c . ^ omendment by Mr . thomas Duncombe to SUc * he Bribery Bill to counties , waq more CQ * e **[ ul Ministers had waived Protection for brih thev 8 tuck to Protection for county l ™* y > and were defeated by 100 to 70 . th « c next Parlia « aent is beginning to supersede adii ,. pitin 8 » e « sjion in the general interest , and il ? niulti pfy . ft i 8 remarked that the wore of the Protectionists i » not up to the L ^ ou WTBY EomoN . ]
classic standard . Lord ftlandevilte proposes to " rebuke ** evils and " unnecessary tampering ** with legislation * And ; MrN , Svraitdn tells a Scotch constituency that the Education question is affording " peculiar facilities for the introduction of measures calculated to supply" —what ?— " the existing deficiencies in the means of education in an efficient and satisfactory manner . ' * Surely , the root facxonever had such a crop of * branches so entangled 1 But what anomalies may not become feasible under Protection ! Another trait
of the Protectionist movement is the prevalence of free trade supporters of Lord Derby—politicians who have so much confidence in him as to give him a blank check . . A banquet at Fishmongers * Hall excites the faint pulse of public interest . Since Peel proclaimed his newly-constituted Conservative party at Goldsmiths' Hall > -tbe banquet rooms of the great companies have been regarded as a kind of outer council chambers , in which political leaders make their initial demonstrations j but the
gathering of fishmongers discloses little . The appearance of three leading men of the late Cabinet in conjunction—Lord Grey , Lord Clarendon , and Lord Palmerston , is inferred by , some to signify a secession from the old Whig ranks , and a new party to compete with the three already existing—the Disraeli-Derby , theRussell-Cobden , and the Peelite parties . Lord Clarendon was a new member , and played his part very congenially . But Lord Palmerston was evidently the guest of the night , and it is noticeable that the most emphatic part of his speech was a declaration of amity and
alliance with America . In spite , if not in consequence , of churlish opposition , the Oxford University Commission have done their work thoroughly and unflinchingly . Their report is far more sweeping in its conclusions than the world of the nineteenth century had dared to hope , or the Oxford of the fifteenth , to fear . The whole document is a perfect marvel among Blue-books for clearness , thoroughness ,
exhaustiveness . The reforms it entertains # re ,, in the best sense , radical : they » trik » at the root of the present grievous inefficiency With far-sighted directness . An energetic professional is substituted for an effete colffljgiate system : a living liberty of knowledge for : a 'jffaty monopoly of statutes ; and , after a long sloth , Oxford is again to be taught how to tehch . The question of
preparatory religious tests is not ever so distantly mentioned , but within the present framework , the thirty-nine articles being understood , nothing is omitted to " place the University of Oxford at the head of the education of the country , to make its great resources more effectually serve their nigh purposes , and to render its professors fit representatives of the learningand the intellect of England . " The report , fully carried out , contains the germs of indefinite expansion . We render the Commission respectful thanks in the name of our generation .
The most earnest movement , however , is that for Australia . # , ; Last week our Postscript told how Sir John Pakingitm received the Yorkshire deputation , and was duly badgered by the wool-manufacturers into confessing that emigration is necessary , that emigrants are to be found in plenty , and that the Emigration Commissioners have in hand not less than . £ 318 , 000 ; the only want , he said , is ships . But as Ministers have hitherto looked fpr ships only at London and Plymouth , and quite lately at Liverpool , it is to be expected that vessels
will at last be discovered , " hidden in some conspicuous places i meanwhile the desire to go is becoming a furor ; and it is evident that the country itself would lend help . The parish of St . Martinin-the-Fields , long moved by a leading ratepayer , Mr . Alexander Ridgway , has resolved on a grant of 4 ? 1000 to the board of guardians , to be spent in the emigration of persons chargeable to the parish , but not unsuited for work in a fair market . And we shall be disappointed if this intelligent move be not imitated elsewhere .
That the disturbance of the market , by withdrawing labour and pouring in gold , is likely to be felt , we see in the case of the United States , where provisions are rising , and the labouring classes are beginning to ask wh ether wages ought not to rise too ? Although Philadelphia is not very near California , the disturbance has already reached her , and it bids fair to spread . Even under republican institutions the market cannot be kept free from derangement , while man is set against man and class against class . '
In the absence of more serious topics at home , — for even the gold is becoming tedious to the blase English mind , —some interest is bestowed on mere gossip about sham duels , recalcitrant prima donnas , and «' nobbled" favourites . By the latest Australian accounts , it appears that Meagher has really escaped ; but after formally sending in
