      Apropos of the " Albert Memorial" mania , the late Prince Consort must have sadly offended the sculptors . Nearly every one of them has cut him !

      Why has Mr . Childers thrust forward the youthful Earl of Camperdown ? What has this young man done ? Camperdown ? Camperdown ? No , —we have never heard of him before . Duncan beat the Dutch somewhere close to a village of that name , we think , in 1797 . But who is this youth ?

      While Conservatives are yelling away the session over the Irish Church question , and delaying the nation in its endeavour to discharge its duties at home , a very far more serious issue looms in the distance abroad . The Alabama claims are about to be urged in no measured terms . It is not the & Iaynooth , but the American Grant that will be likely to cause us the real trouble .

      All honour to the Mayor of Tynemouth and to Mr . Bruce , who between them have hit on some method of stopping the lectures (!) of that Christian gentleman , Murphy . Why does not some missionary society send out this zealous apostle to some savage tribe by whom he would be appreciated , and from whom he might really have a fair chance of earning that martyrdom to which he , now vainly aspires . Although he is rather " nasty " hot , he might taste very nice when served up cold !

      The Conduct Of The Government With Regar...

      The conduct of the Government with regard to Lord Clanricarde ' s Bill on Tenant Right is characteristic . No good ever yet came of a coalition Government . Gladstone , Bright , and Lowe may coalesce , but they will not combine . Unanimity exists on one question—the sacrifice which the Whigs have decided on making to the Mammon of Place ; but that once settled , the whole armoury of official equivocation and ministerial dishonesty is ransacked for shifts and dodges by which to delay useful measures and thwart any real hearty reform . We are

      passing through a transition state , and Heaven help us ! for we shall be governed by hypocrites none the less loathesome because their hypocrisy is clothed in eloquence .

      We Content Ourselves, For The Present, W...

      We content ourselves , for the present , with protesting most vehemently against the mischievous and dishonest budget introduced by Mr . Lowe , hoping next week to treat the matter at greater length . If the House of Commons sanctions this system of anticipating the next year ' s income in order to cover extraordinary expenses , and robbing the taxpayer of so much of his capital—for this precious plan for paying the taxes in a lump amounts to nothing less—it will have inaugurated a system of finance more unjust , more oppressive , and more pernicious , than any which has prevailed since the days of Charles II . We entreat those who are interested in the matter—all those whose incomes depend on their own industry , and whose businesses require the constant employment of all their capital—to protest against these monstrous proposals , the full mischief of which is concealed by their wilfully-deceptive assumption of economy , and by the gloss of newness which attracts all those who are always ready for experiments , without any consideration as to what may be the result . Nothing but persistent earnestness will procure a hearing for the people , or force the attention of the House to the real gravity of a step which now they seem ready to take without any care or scruple .
