War Is Mispended; -^Tween Ministers Anti...
War is mispended ; - ^ tween Ministers Anti-M misfters . ^ Lord Ddrbjr and ; Mr . Disraeli have acquiesced * in the necessity of a dissolution \ and in consideration of - that acquiescence , Lord John Russell has signified that he ftnd his : vtrill no longer obstruct pubUc business . Meanwhile , therefore , all interest , m , parliamentary affairs is suspended , and . ^ k ^ - ^ ggi ^ . ivrii « ider - ^ : ; iSi ^ "M 5 » fi * fa ^'" -J ^ U * - " * fl * proceed t * ¦ ihei dissolution forthwith , but intend to
take the ii «^ , mjn ^ : ^^ ppM r ^ Bte ! i . , b ^ , i' ^ pa rt »^[ ges . ' , unsjiot ' or Some preparatives , ihile ' ed , have , to be made . Lord Brougham has introduced a bill to shorten ¦ the legal interval between the close of one awd the opening of the . ne : rt Parliament , from fifty days to thirty-five . The old , Jaw was proper
enough at a time when men nu ^ de their wills before setting out for Yorkshire j but although rail-Ways may have restored that practice , they have not delayed the journey ; and there is no longer the fear that pliant Members from counties near the capital should steal a march upon remoter folks . Lord Derby has expressed " no objection " to Lord Brougham ' s bill- Lord John is doing
something to check corrupt practices at elections ; and Mr . Disraeli still promises to distribute the four scats left vacant by the disfranchisement of St . Albans and Sudbury—not Harwich , as we lately called it by anticipation . Mr . Hume ' s motion furnished Mr . Disraeli with an opportunity of declaring , out and out , against reform , until there be a " clear . necessity j " whereon Lord John threatened him with such a
" clear necessity" as carried Catholic Emancipation and the old Reform Bill . But evidently Lord John and his friends do not consider the time yet arrived , for Mr . Hume was beaten by 244 -to 89 t We BhaU have a look at the division next week . Meanwhile Parliament peddles . Mr . FreVcw has invited it , by resolution , ' to consider the- repeal of the- duty on hops ; Mr . Diameli has promised to take that condemned duty into consideration ; and Mr . Frewen , satisfied , has withdrawn hia motion . . ' . : ¦' Lord St . Leonards has introduced a bill to [ Country Edition . ]
simplify the rules of evidence touching the validity of wills , so that it shall come nearer to common sense j a useful measure . Making a smart speech , ' . moving an . inane resolution -to back it , and- the withdrawing . it , are characteristics of that infirmity of purpose which prevails among politicians . Tuesday ' s proceedings afforded two striking evidences of this . Mr . Moncktoii Milnes moved for copies of correspondence , respecticngreftrgees in England ^; feetweeathe Foreign' MimsteV'Bn 4 continental . Mr . Disraeli replied , malting a flippant rfctnftrkf afcbut f' secret diplomacy , ^ ami . theti . iirf ^ i ^ ^ >^^ j ^ # ^ t ' ' 'ijfeft . eprw . sp ! tin « lence ' wra $ "nmtiy . r « ady ? ' -Slif ^ ia ^^^ ^ ii ^ 0 the ^ Course it was withdrawn . Then came Mr ; Andersoji with a motion ' for copies of correspondence between our Ambassador at Constantinople and our Consul-General in Egypt relative to the quarrel between the Sultan and the Pacha . Of course he and the public wanted the information , in order that it might be known what we were doing in this matter . ' ¦ ' But how Was -he met ? By homilies from Mr . Disraeli and Lord John Russell , on the impropriety of giving information , and of publishing an incomplete correspondence . All this was beside the question , as we want to know what Government is doing . But Mr . An- ** derson only grumbled and withdrew , when he ought to have been silent and divided the House . From a conversation in the House of Lords , on Tuesday , we learn that , immediately after the receipt of the intelligence of the defeat of Rosas , the English Government proposed to the French Government a joint intervention , in the view of establishing relations with the Argentine Confederacy . What relations ? Lord Malmesbury said , relations to secure the interests of Europe . Of course Lord Beaumont , who asked for information , was satisfied with the reply . He did not care to inquire into the basis of the intervention , and if he had , " secret diplomacy" would have sealed up his lips . , No very favourable view of Ministerial theories is caused by the latest news from Gibraltar , where the English authorities are imitating Louis Napoleon : only one journal is suffered to exist , and public meetings are prohibited ! Gibraltar is said to bo the key to the Mediterranean : is it also the key to the Ministerial policy , as set by the late , and adopted by the present Ministers ?
A deputation from the Sanitary Association has endeavoured to wring from Lord John Manners , the new Minister of Public Works , a declaration as . to the intentions of Ministers respecting the Interments Act . Last year , Parliament passed an act to abolish interments in the metropolis , and to authorize them in public cemeteries , under the Board of Health . There was some prejudice against that interference with the right of freeborji Englishmen to rot under the nostrils of their neighbours and descendants ; but there ' can be no reconciled the
doubt that practiceV % ould have public . ^ The difficulty which arrested the proceedin % s was the paltry one of finding cash ; the teennic ' a , ! authority to raise which . Ministers withV Jneia ; VMe >' sam ^ -maisiM ^ 0 i ^ d-: m biH to purchase ^ two' cemete ^^ P roved unworkable j and then Lord John Russell , slighting the Boaid of Health , began' to' co ' qnetfe with a private company . What does the [ new Ministry mean ' to do?—that is the question . Lord John Manners does not say : he avowed the desire to arrive at some conclusion , arid promised
attention . . ' ¦¦' . , ' By what we gather from the public papers , we are . left to infer that the Amalgamated Engineers are not prospering just at present . The proposal to form an auxiliary fund looks like a confession of difficulty ; and some doubts were expressed rfs to the possibility of raising it . We have , however , no means of judging the reality of those doubts .
The disorganized state of society continues to be exposed in that hideous crime to which we lately pointed—child murder . Parents and stepparents slaughtering their children , emulate each other in the cold-blooded or the ferocious manner of their crime . Want and ignorance combine to pervert nature . What are we to say of the latest decree ( it seems as if France were fated to be submerged in an ocean of decrees , on whose troubled waters her
institutions arc writ !) organizing the Legislative bodies , that we have not said by anticipation , again and again , to very weariness ; unless * it be , that nothing is omitted that can render the nullity of these poor liveried menials , the Napoleonic Legislators , more absolute , and their degradation more abject and complete . With the most scrupulous exactness they are counselled how to dress , how to be silent , and how to behave . But we note how the " tribune" is even physically abolished , that last vestige of magnificent palaver !
