itttmto of % Wluh The Easter Recess has been attained witW material alteration in the relative position If ^ Outs and tho Ins . There has been more talk o old theme , 'What aro your intentions « ' hJ J * Premier has been obstinately silent , and Mr Ti raeli has been frankly ' in communicati ve \ v ¦ ' ters still intend to dissolve Parliament as so on uT ' necessary measures' are passed , but what consti . necessary measures in their opinion no one kno perhaps not even themselves .

It may beau ! jjj * comfortable one to the expectant Whigs aud LiberaW who have their eyes fixed on place and power , becau there can bo no possible termination to the « xi « tenc ° of a Cabinet as' nmble' as Uriah Hbep . ffeonW fear that its humility is as h pocritical as that of fa prototype , and its selfishness not less . XJnder pretence of obeying , it may both master and plmfo .
tho notion . Be this as it may , the windy warfarin St . Stephen ' s has been suspended for a fortni ght and , in the seclusion of the Easter recess , the Chancellor of the Exchequer has leisure to comp ^ the Budget , of which ho is to ¦ be delivered immdi . ately after tho re-assembling of Parliament , % Income Tax expired on Monday last . Jt ifg- the foundation , as it were , of our present financial sysf ^ Can Mr . Disraeli do without it , or will he h j ^ enough to resuscitate a monster he himself uns ' it ^^ slaying ?
Among the few notable things which occurred in Parliament previous to the holidays , were the more definite enunciation of the policy of the Government towards the Refugees . The new Foreign Minister explicitly repudiated any abatement of the ancient hospitality and protection which England affords to Refugees of all countries , classes , and political creeds ; nor do we see that the emphatically phrased reservation of extra national rights is more than
every Government is bound to make . Much depends on tho sphit in which that reservation is acted uponand Lord Malmesbury frankly condemned the manner in which the Austrian Government had treated English subjects ; while , at the same time , he divested his despatch to the Austrian Foreign Mimt . tor of any warmer complexion than a civil and friendly reply to a civil and friendly congratulation , on tho accession of the new Ministry to office .
Mr . Cr . Thompson obtained—not without sonw difficulty—a bill for Protecting the Ballast Heaven of the Port of London , by the establishment of & similar office to that which has been so beneficial in praptico to the Coalwhippers . With tho general antipathy ^ to all Legislation on the Labour question which exists in the House , we very much doubt whether the bill will ever get tho length ot a Committee .
The Kaffir war constituted the topic of a detail only satisfactory in so far as it showed a tendency on , the part of our public men to take a more commensurate view of the question than has been done heretofore . The despatches that were expected to have brought the nows of the termination of tho war are as unsatisfactory as ever . Sir H . SMITH had made his vigorous movement , but tho Chiefs remain
unsubdued . Sandilli , Stock , and Macomo , havo still possession of their strong positions ; and the conntry swarms with natives well armed and courageous . There can be , and ought to be , but one end to this most disastrous , expensive , and in every way disreputable struggle . It is quite clear that we cannot retain possession of our vastly extended frontier line without a constant succei *
sion of such wars . It is equally plain that this country can gain nothing whatever in any way from oven success in these wars . According to Sir W . Moleswomh we could send out a carriage and four' for each European settler at the Cape , and transfer them to other parts of the Globe ' ai less cost than that of a single war . ' It is time tha i the colonists aud the natives were either loft to fight their
own battles in their own way , or that the former should be withdrawn from a position which involves every four or five years a war , in which the blood of Englishmen is shed , and tho country saddled with some three or four millions in tbe shape of expenses , without deriving any compensation whatever either in the shape of honour or profit , for this waste of Mwf and treasure .
Intimately connected with this lamentable struggle is the event which has caused desolation and sorrow to many a fire-side in this countiy . A troop-ship conveying detachments of various regiments to reinforce the army engaged in the field , sailed from Cape Town on the 25 th February , and on the fol ' o * ing morning , while steaming at the rate of eight knots and a half an hour , in smooth water , about three
miles off the coast , struck upon a sharp rock . The bow broke off . The vessel broke into two parts by the paddle wheels , the fore part went down immediately , the other in a few minutes aftetvratds ; of six hundred and thirty-eight persons who left Simon ' s Bay only one hundred and eighty-four were rescue " from death . In twenty minutes from striking on & t rock , a few floating spars , with thirty or forty p « 60 ns clinging to them , was all that remained of ag »! ' » nt
shin and its numerous freight . The boats saved " women and children , and the conduct of both ntffl and officers , in the midst of the appalling ci « l , n 1 ' stances by which they were surrounded , seems to h avs reached the heroic in its calm self-possession , d ^ ' pline , and scrupulous regard to duty . As to tbe cause of this most calamitous disaster there can w no doubt . The Commander , in order to sa ve « mf » ; kept too near the shore . The result of thfe * ' { ° ' was the loss of four hundred and fifty-four p *™™ j soldiers and sailors , and the total destruction ot tw - vessel that bore them to a destination they were »« never to reach . Coming so soon after the loss ot w Amazon , and joined with the fact that two oW steamers sailing on the same track and on ^ f ^ L errand with the lost Birkenhead , are behind t " the Wublic niind has Wn must vtainfnllV aSeCWtt J J
this most deplorable occurrence ; the Admiralty ^ not so famed for good management , nor itsve fate te safe as to prevent ominous forebodings as to tb e , , of the Hydra and the Megara .
