Aj/Cbqvj&H Thoroughly Used Up, The Engli...
Aj / cbQvj & H thoroughly used up , the English public has been a little roused this week by incidents ' hfere ¦ arid ^ tkere £ andwe ; are drifting towards t | m ge ^^ to quarrel' about itthan ^ nii ^ t have beeri eTqpectfed'a few weeks since . * Mr * Disraeli ' s latest address to
the electors ; of Bn ^ n ^ aidashiiie j Lord Malmjpbury ' s last feat » s--foreign Minister , Maynodfch disposed of , the . ^ EiHtifl Bill . ., pairied ^ . in \ :-jjjjj . ptomyii ^ C « t ifac ^ M > v &^^ on ike English tdaily papers by Jfeeside / nfr Bona parte , —these would bV incidents enough to arouse a more excitable riation to fervour .
Yes , the Militia Bill has passed the Commons ; and what then ? Aye , what then ? There is a statute the more , that is all ; a ' few months hence , and some of us will see a strange awkward squad , of all sizes , exercising near the county town . Eighty thousand men , when they are caught , will he but as a drop in the ocean of English millions . However , as Mr . Disraeli says , they are " a beginning ; " and as Mr . Osbprne says , a real volunteer measure would be the best continuation .
Maynooth has been debated once more , —and shelved ; at least , it is to be hoped so . Mr . Scully managed to speak for some hours , occupying the fl oor , while he touted for votes in Ireland . Ditto , Mr . Preshfield , for votes in England . Mr . Bennett has also been debated again , and the Bjlhop of Bath and Wells ; with no novelty . Mr . Gladstone made an admirable defence of the
ecclesiastics ; showing , that being technically correct , they could not be technically assailed . Mr , Horsman produced a letter , as if it had been lent to him for the purpose by the Bishop of London / "—a mere stage-teffect . Incapable of practical conclusion , the debate ended without result . But in Parliament , the most extraordinary affair has been the debate on Lord Malmeabury ' a Surren der of Criminals Convention with France P * M j a discussion which exhibited the Foreign
Secretary in a position little familiar to English statesmen . The bill purported to he the draught < jf a statute needed to carry out the mutual extradition of offenders , not political , between Franco ai » d England ; but . one after another arose Peers , without distinction of party , to expose the mon-8 troila provisions of the scheme . A vague dc"onption' of offences , sufficiency of the French , warrant in England but not of the English warrant [ Country Edition . ]
m France , no discretion left to the English magistrate except as to the evidenceof identity , completion of the bargain on the French' side left to an ¦ " understanding , " with other incidents that wehave d ^ cussed ia > a separate paper , —gave to _ the bill a ^ cMJ ^ e ^ rwholly aJi ^ n to our legislature . If the measure had be ^ n ,. drawn up hy a . French Prefect of vPoh ' ee ,. and , ^ advanced in the French Parliament By a Minister of Louis Napoleon , it would have created no surpr ise ; but to discover
the man with the hardihood to propose it before the English . Senate might have * i'tteed . the French J ^ t m ^ nBxSxii ^ : :... O ^ ii * iUia ^> vi ^ iu ^ d to suspec t -ttSiou ^ i ^^ n Secretary is ; so in every sense of the word , and that he mu 3 t be ignorant of English usages or feelings . As Peer after Peer ^ Aberdeen , Campbell , Brougham , Argyle ; Cranworth—arose , with calm manner , but the unflinching utterance of an English resolve , to arrest the project , the Frenc / i Minister must have felt that he had wandered
into the wrong Parliament . The publication of the Mather correspondence had already done ser ious damage to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; but this debate gave him his coup de grace , The Peers , with a stretch of courtesy unwarranted by the facts , permitted the bill , as a Government measure , to receive its second reading ; but it cannot continue to receive the countenance of the Government , now that Ministers know what it is ; and therefore the talk of " improving it in Committee" must be all idle form : the only valid improvement , will be to efface it .
Mr . Disraeli ' s address may have served him with the electors of Buckingham ; but if so , he must have them well in hand ; and it has not served the Ministry to which he belongs . The public is beginning to think that each Member of the Ministry goes mostly " on his own hook , " and that Mr . Disraeli , far too knowing to link his fate with that of a Malmesbury , has resolved to set up in a totally new walk of art . His address may bo divided into four parts : —l . Thc recognition of work to be done , including the reconcilement
of commerce and agriculture with the maintenance of Protestantism and the British Crown ; 2 .. Therecognition of ' < claims , " such as claims on the part of Ireland , the landed interest , & c , ; 3 , A boast of three measures to bo passed—the New ZealandConstitution , the Militia Bill , and Chancery Reform ; and 4 , A promise of revised taxation , which , being scrutinized , shrinks into an opinion that " the possibility " , of such a measure " seems to loom in the future . " ' "What about Protection ?
On that head , it is avowed that the tendency of the age is to free intercourse ; and that * no statesman can disregard the spirit of the epoch in which he lives . " Protectionists may make <> £ this what they like : one faithful Protectionist , who was rancorous against Peel , infers from this new avowal that Protection is to be restored at such time as may permit it with least damage to ihe institutions of the country ? Meanwhile , the public at large is scarcely so much mystified as amused .
The annual dinner of the Sanitary Reform Associatip » , last week , happened too late for our review , 4 M ^ houId not have passed without notice . Materially , ihe Sanitary Reformers may be said to hold in . their hand the key of the portal from past difficulty to future contentment . - Healthy tpwns and fertilized fields will bless their exertions .
And if some of their political members learn in the difficulties that beset all contests for great good , the generous spirit of determined service and of trust in the people , avowed by more than one speaker , titled as well as untitled , the unpolitical association will aid not unfitly in breathing a more healthy spirit even into our politics .
The humiliations of MM . Veron and Granier de Cassagnac would be ludicrous enough if they were not also a lively image of the humiliations of France , suspended on the lips of a quack and a bravo . With De VeYon ' s nod the funds are shaken—with M . Granier ' s frown they fall—with , a government paragraph , repudiating both its instruments , the funds revive again , and Belgium is appeased . No one doubts that the repudiated articles were written to order ; but when his foul
task haB been fulfilled , the executioner is repulsed into disgrace and obscurity j and so the hireling dagger , that stabbed in the back the bravest and best names of France , the pen that most insolently announced and savagely glorified , the 2 nd of December , is cast away with contempt as soon as its dirty ink-pool of calumnies and insults is exhausted . Has not Victor Hugo been avenged by the fall of that tribune from which he had been
hooted by the party of order ? and is not the independent press , that perished last December , avenged once more by the " warnings" to the Constitutionnel ? So fatal is the distrust of liberty ¦—so rapid the proclivity of despotism . The English press is struck at last—by proxy . Correspondents in Paris , who have not learnt how to concoct official paragraphs , will have to atone for the Editors in London , until my Lord Malmesbury , that model Englishman , shall have made it
