Legislation Gets Very Misceflaneous Fa T...
Legislation gets very misceflaneous fa the moribund Parliament . Motions , speeches , and notices'have run to the dregs . The Notice-paper is rinsed out with a jerk , and the leavings are flung away , being of no further use . The subjects discussed are as stale and tedious as the daily repoatod . dinner of the invalid . Mather , Education , Scinde * NewZealnnd—anyreader of the newspapers
could sit down and write the debate thzbmust he delivered by any given set of Lords or Commons on either topic . If it be the Peers discussing Mather , as it was this week , then a clear and damaging " statement by Lord Beaumont ; a naive and self-damaging defence by Lord Malmesbury , adorned with strange admissions ; . « aftiiMi * hink anil thin o nslaught or defence by Lord Campbell , in this case defending his near relative and namesake
Mr . Scarlett ; an ultra reserved diplomatic spoken minute by Lord Aberdeen , who inclines to think that Austria should be held especially responsible : a defensive diplomatic minute by Lord Granville , who inclines to think that Tusc any should be held solely responsible ; and a vehement party personal aggressive defence by Lord Derby , making a scapegoat of Scarlett , as exceeding his instructions —• such is ; the'debate that might have been anticipated , and such is the debate that ' occurred ; leaving the subject exactly where it was . before .
With about equal effect divers distinguished Members of the Commons have been discussing the last-Education minute . That minute , it will be remembered , assumed greater power for the Clergy "in the supervision of schools , receiving grants under the Education Committee of the Privy Council : it empowered the clergymen to exercise a veto , not only on the gro und of religious qualification in the schoolmaster , but also on the ground of his moral qualifications . The first speaker , Lord John Russell , as a leading member of the British and Foreign School
Association , and a distinguished orator at Exeter Hall for that philanthropic institution , supplied an attack of the usual Liberal "Whig type on this electioneering move of the Conservative ministers . Mr . Walpole defended the , measure with some shaw ,, oi reason , by explaining how , upon purely technicW rights , a committee of farmers might place over a ; schopl a man of peculiarly bad character ; an evil for which the parish clergyman supplied the beat cUefck . Mr . Gladstone , however , showed thitt the effect of the measure , good or bad , was [ Country Edition . ]
exaggerated , on either side '; and indeed , it will , have very little effect at all . Everybody sees tttat * it is nothing hut an electioneering dodge , which has had some effect in enabling Conservative clergymen , bitherto divided on "the management clauses' * to act together . A Government organ announces that . the Ministerial white-bait dinner will not be held until Saturday , the 3 rd of July , so that the Dissolution may not take place till the week after next . At all events , it is high time for the Derby dinner-party ,
after stimulating official digest ion by white-bait , to regale their hungry constituents ; for although they may count upon an addition being made to their minority , a minority they will still have ; and that also in a Parliament which , - as every week morfe and more convinces us , will be the most troublesome ami intractable ParliamflTit that has met since the days of Charles I . We do not mean that we expect any Cromwells , or Hampdens , or Harry Vanes—swords or gunpowder : — dismissals of " baubles , " or decided action of
any kind whatever . What we do expect , is a further breaking up of parties ; a further loss of respect both for principles and leaders—a further loss of self-respect : the mischief aggravated by an increase to the Protectionist minority , still a minority , coupled with an increase to the Irish Brigade ; and the whole force of disorder strengthened by the mistakes and equivocations of Ministers .
Election affairs still continue without change in their own characteristics ; that is to say , they do nothing but add to the elements of confusion . When Mr . Disraeli addressed the Protectionist electors , he announced to them measures " looming in the future . " Sir John Trollope , President of the Poor-Law Board , now speaks of supporting Ministers , " in the earnest hope that their legislation may be founded upon principles beneficial to the country . " This is among the latest definitions of the Protectionist Position . Meanwhile , the
mere party candidates arc not suffered to carry on the confusion all in their own way ; but here and there we see a People ' s candidate , who pught to command the zealous support of the true people . At Nottingham , for instance ^ Mr . Sturgeon proposes to take the place vacated by n , popular Member , who has for some time ceased to have any real political existence .
In Westminster , which has become a Whig estate , the people propose to rouse the old popular feeling , by putting forward W illiam Coningham , who is not only a fearless advocate of the claims
of labour , but is a sound-hearted English gentleman , bent upon demanding that the conduct ^ of affairs , both abroad and at home , be restored , to national principles . With the opportunities afforded by the simultaneous appearance , in metropolitan districts , of candidates like Thomas Duncomhe , in Finsbury ; William Newton , in the Tower Hamlets ; and William Coningham , m Westminster ; the best days of Westminster ought to be revived and extended to the whole metropolis . held
The Brighton Railway Company have a meeting , and have affirmed a resolution for carrying the Crystal Palace to Sydenham . Several shareholders , however , oppose it . Another question has arisen . It is proposed to open the Crystal Palace on Sunday , a project resisted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Sir John Dean Paul , and supported by the Times . If the Crystal Palace had been moved to Chiswick , we believe we are correct in averr ing , not only that it would have been open on Sundays , but opened on Sundays gratuitously .
As crowned heads sit , obscurely visible , at a play , so the Uncrowned of France takes his dramatic recreation in a stealthy visit to his Legislative Company , and from the hidden corner of a box scowls upon the galvanized kicks of its " Committee on the Budget . " The British sailor forgot that it was " His Majesty ' s servants , " and feeling himself aggrieved by the " business "
on the stage , sprang on the boards to rescue the Tom Bowling of the hour from the officers of justice . Louis Napoleon forgets that the Legislative functions are a sham , and provoked by a show of independence , sends a Hying note to Billault that the members are transgressing . Billault actually reads the said missive aloud , and so we arc told the Assembly separate in commotion ! Shades of Benjamin Constant , Iloyer Collard , and
Chateaubriand ! While his pr ivate superintendent of the Fine Arts is hunting up fresh objects of virtu at Paris , the President is preparing , we are told , to betake himself to Rome to obtain , as a final consecration , the blessing of the Pope , which , nobody , will deny , he richly deserves .
The intelligence from the United States centres its interest in one point , —that , after talking of various candidates , the Democrats have suddenly produced and nominated a man not previously thought of—General Pierce ; whose character and qualities wo have set forth in a separate paper . The great AchilH trial has dragged its slow
