In Parliament the great event o f the week has been Lord John Russell’s speech on Monday night, and the acknowledgment on the part o f the W h ig Ministry that their policy lias been a blunder, that it must be given up, and that they must look out for another. The entente cordiale is over. England, represented by the Whigs, has run panting for some miles by the side o f the Imperial chariot, along a dirty road, splashed by the wheels wkh mild, and painfully conscious that both in point o f dignity and com fort the situation was questionable. There was no keeping up with the Emperor down those French slopes o f the Alps, and England has stopped short, quite out o f breath, In a very had temper, and covered with a deal o f dirt. In consequence o f Lord John Russell’s recantation, Mr. Kinglake next night, abandoned his motion on the annexation o f Savoy. • Mr. Churchward’scontract forth e Dover Packet Ser viee, Church-rates, and Mr. Gladstone’s licenses to sell wine, were the principal matters under discussion till Thursday, when the long expected Land Bills made their appearance. M r.

The Jury Laws. 6th, The Reduction o f the Irish Municipal Franchise.

Mr. Greer.— I am disposed to support her Majesty’s present Government, or any Liberal Government which shall introduce such Measures o f Reform as are pointed out in' the foregoing Queries.

I t must he admitted that the Catholic electors o f Londonderry have been guilty o f no deception or equivocation in this important matter.

The Tenant Right Bills have been at last introduced, and have been received with a|storm o f universal dissatisfaction. The first o f them is a mutilated edition o f Mr. Napier’s Leasing Powers Bill— and the second was understood by all the Irish members to present to the tenantW q f f l anxious to improve, tl$ tive of an ejectment, in case the landlord should not ap- of improvement!* -.IjfrJM ■tiflitM gi debate which immediately ensued, Lord Fermoy, The O’Donoghue, Mr. Maguire, Mr. Monsell, Mr. Hennessy, Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Whiteside, in one accord protested against the compensation clauses o f the Bill, as a cruel aggravation o f the present unfortunate position of the Irish tenant. The names and the very succession o f the names are a commentary in themselves. A lame expja^attun froi^. ' «not* couche’d in a tone which the House considered insolent, from Mr. Deasy, did not mitigate the .effect of the statement ; and the best that can be said for the Bills is that they cannot be understood until they are printed ; and that, it seems to be the impression o f Her Majesty’s A t torney General, they may not even be very intelligible then. This is what we nave supported Lord Palmerston through thick and thin for—at Rome, in Downing-street, in Dublin Castle. That is the only public consideration we have got for the great position the Irish Catholics ought to occupy at the present moment. It is bartering our birthright—fori,M Jp*;»f flummery ! This week, too, go to the ground, all the calculations on which riw policy o f the Great Liberal Party has been based for *tiW*fast twelve months. The Anglo i rench alliance is at an end—and much more conclusively at an •ad, by Lord Palmerston, than lapsed under a Conservative Mi:tuSSyiHBklMBt up w f blazoned the cheap gloves, the cheap silks, the cheap fruits, and the cheap wines which we are to use and con • sume, thanks to the Commercial Treaty—but thefactwhich every man is endeavouring to realise is, When, How, Where, and on what pretence is the War to begin ? For after so many tremors, and teutatives, after postponing the evil day, after the most conscientious endeavours to “ misunderstand our epoch,” and resist the inexorable “ logic of facts,” it seems to be the will o f an all-wise and all-powerful Providence, that the Whigs should be His instruments to force a war with France. It is not immediately near, perhaps. There are a dozen French liners and frigates yet to be fitted with the auxiliary f r t t t d t cannon yet awaiting the process of rifling in the foundries '¿(jferest and Cherbourg. There is a British coal yet in the bowels o f Wales or Lancashire, rMu¡ « V M HfBt,L o a d J o b n Russell delivered the petit declaration of a paulo-postfuture war in the House of Commons on last Monday night. T ' f ■ h. j.r i .’ i 5pi):h It was a night which yielded the one great sensation o f the session. And no one seemed to expect it. Let me except the Foreign Ministers, much better informed the clubs d r 1)## oWBJjBEy Fersigny W » d his way ¡to the Ambassadors’ Gallery soon after the Speaker swooped his train into the House. Apponyi followed, looking like a magnate o f Hungary beside a ¡oam M jt iil t i i p N t i i iM k ' J U wa'JBuUupi o f all the leading courts were there. Mr. Horsmau had iM t l i historical occasion, anfl'<k|Q like a rocket, which you have fired at the right angle. I t is said that Lora Johu spoke his speech, as he used to speak long ago, when it was supposed he had a soul. Certainly he spoke, as no one in that house ever again expected to hear him speak. But when it came to the last six or seven sentences, to the definitive words previously prepared and absolutely declaratory, for which A hmi . f f f f l i l ft taM l ' i l 'Hilt rTteipjjjr to tm d their telegrams in cipher, and despatoh their couriers by special train, the House seemed to shake. The fact appeared to transpire beforehand— “ W e are done with the hypocrisy of the entente cordiale ”—and every sentence was cheered, and every word, and every syllable. But what is the fate of the Government in the face of these new eventualities ? The Government is in realityin ; because it is the Government best pleasing to Louis Napoleon. It has held office to this date by saying when¿ « A II hi ii i WvJ-nrpasP.rl “ W aII. nut. llJkiMi.(Aa lever it was hard-pressed, “ Well, put us out, and go to war with France.” And it has accordingly, by reason o f its strict intimacy with the French Government, been enabled to oatrageFranceinaway thata more independent Government could not have the chance o f doing. What is to become o f the Reform Bill, o f which it will be one of the most curious of constitutional anecdotes, that it was within five votes o f being counted out last week ? What is to become o f my friends, the Irish Liberal Party, who have swallowed, with the good digestion which always waits on appetite so eager, so many convictions f They are nowhere now. They are worth nothing now. They seem to be very much distraught. But I suppose I shall live to hear, iu the course o f another year, that several Irish Bishops have written letters, excusing their conduct —nay, regarding it as, under the circumstances, and for most prudential considerations, on the whole, eminently orthodoxj arid that after their re-election, I shall still affect to feel horribly scandalised, when I am told in the lobby, that it is an entire mistake to suppose that the Pastoral o f 1859 was, by any means, an intentional or valid expression of the true sentiments o f the Irisl ‘ !V . ‘ - i " ' •. Our public opinion takes very much atter the V I T . - . ‘i i l 'l m t y the BRte head we h ta^H k% e -¿S ^h00by body sand. f R l K i J q •’jt o t i f r r f l r w P ' I wish we could see ourselves as others see us. I wish the Irish Catholics could only distinctly realise the construction which their friends, the English Liberals, put upon their relations to Her Majesty’s present Ministers— they, the Liberals, hoping earnestly end striving with might and main to drive the Pope from Rome, and to produce an Italy, Protestant in Church and state : believing too that the Irish Catholics help them therein, first, for solid, sordid considerations ; and, secondly, because they don’t really believe in their religion. Of course, it never enters their minds to conceive that w< don’t know what is the, real drift of their policy. They don 1 conceal itirom us. The Timestells us everyday. Lord John Russell writes it for us in his despatches. It breathes out of every speech we hear on the subject, i t is operating under onr very eyes.

In Parliament the great event o f the week has been Lord John Russell’s speech on Monday night, and the acknowledgment on the part o f the W h ig Ministry that their policy lias been a blunder, that it must be given up, and that they must look out for another. The entente cordiale is over. England, represented by the Whigs, has run panting for some miles by the side o f the Imperial chariot, along a dirty road, splashed by the wheels wkh mild, and painfully conscious that both in point o f dignity and com fort the situation was questionable. There was no keeping up with the Emperor down those French slopes o f the Alps, and England has stopped short, quite out o f breath, In a very had temper, and covered with a deal o f dirt. In consequence o f Lord John Russell’s recantation, Mr. Kinglake next night, abandoned his motion on the annexation o f Savoy. •

Mr. Churchward’scontract forth e Dover Packet Ser viee, Church-rates, and Mr. Gladstone’s licenses to sell wine, were the principal matters under discussion till Thursday, when the long expected Land Bills made their appearance. M r. Cardwell’s statement was received w ith a concurrence o f diapprobation which was quite remarkable, and Mr. Deasy begged to be let off. j;f next, jfoe,Bifla w i l l■«*,f l u t e d ; ¡»a d i delivered. v ,i i o*

— The “ Derry Journal” contains a report o f a meeting o f the Catholic Electors o f Londonderry,heldatthe Christian Brothers’ Schools, which i t says was attended by above tw o hundred electors, to decide whether Mr. George Skipton, Mr. William M ‘ Cormick, or Mr. S. M. Greer, should have their support in the approachin g contest. The answers o f the tKree candidates to seven queries were received, and the meeting decided to support Mr. S. M . Greer.

The questions asked concerned, 1st., the Irish B o rough Franchise. 2ndi-J7ote by Ballot, jetted. The Land Question. 4th. The Removal o f Irish Paupers and Out-door Relief. 5th. The Jury Laws. 6th, The Reduction o f the Irish Municipal Franchise. But the 7th question was, “ W h a t Government will you support ? ” and the answers were as fo llow s :—

Mr. M ’ Cormick.— The Improvement o f the Trade and the Prosperity o f Derry and its Neighbourhood shall Oqjeefe j. MWHPJKW, BDh Men, shall have my support; and that Government whioh brings forward the measures, in my opinion, best calculated'to benefit' foeaid and assistance. I repeat what I stated in my A d dEess: I ^ Y 9 » o private object tn' rdiwnirfl iiBWtiiiwgi personal to gain, and am, consequently, independent o f every Government. to1 '

Mr. Skipton.— I f elected, I will support the present Government.

Mr. Greer.— I am disposed to support her Majesty’s present Government, or any Liberal Government which shall introduce such Measures o f Reform as are pointed out in' the foregoing Queries.

A letter was also read from M r . John M ehan,'J.P ., whose name had been put on Mr. M ’ Cormick’s Com raittee, Bearing-: “ I r e g » r t , fa r h ie aw n a i d e « i m pending contest, that ms refusal to give a pledge that ne will support the present Government, causes me to refuse him my support.” . .

The Tenant Right Bills have been at last introduced, and have been received with a|storm o f universal dissatisfaction. The first o f them is a mutilated edition o f Mr. Napier’s Leasing Powers Bill— and the second was understood by all the Irish members to present to the tenantW q f f l anxious to improve, tl$ tive of an ejectment, in case the landlord should not ap-

of improvement!* -.IjfrJM ■tiflitM gi debate which immediately ensued, Lord Fermoy, The O’Donoghue, Mr. Maguire, Mr. Monsell, Mr. Hennessy, Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Whiteside, in one accord protested against the compensation clauses o f the Bill, as a cruel aggravation o f the present unfortunate position of the Irish tenant. The names and the very succession o f the names are a commentary in themselves. A lame expja^attun froi^. ' «not* couche’d in a tone which the House considered insolent, from Mr. Deasy, did not mitigate the .effect of the statement ; and the best that can be said for the Bills is that they cannot be understood until they are printed ; and that, it seems to be the impression o f Her Majesty’s A t torney General, they may not even be very intelligible then. This is what we nave supported Lord Palmerston through thick and thin for—at Rome, in Downing-street, in Dublin Castle. That is the only public consideration we have got for the great position the Irish Catholics ought to occupy at the present moment. It is bartering our birthright—fori,M Jp*;»f flummery !

This week, too, go to the ground, all the calculations on which riw policy o f the Great Liberal Party has been based for *tiW*fast twelve months. The Anglo i rench alliance is at an end—and much more conclusively at an •ad, by Lord Palmerston, than lapsed under a Conservative Mi:tuSSyiHBklMBt up w f blazoned the cheap gloves, the cheap silks, the cheap fruits, and the cheap wines which we are to use and con • sume, thanks to the Commercial Treaty—but thefactwhich every man is endeavouring to realise is, When, How, Where, and on what pretence is the War to begin ? For after so many tremors, and teutatives, after postponing the evil day, after the most conscientious endeavours to “ misunderstand our epoch,” and resist the inexorable “ logic of facts,” it seems to be the will o f an all-wise and all-powerful Providence, that the Whigs should be His instruments to force a war with France. It is not immediately near, perhaps. There are a dozen French liners and frigates yet to be fitted with the auxiliary f r t t t d t cannon yet awaiting the process of rifling in the foundries '¿(jferest and Cherbourg. There is a British coal yet in the bowels o f Wales or Lancashire, rMu¡ « V M HfBt,L o a d J o b n Russell delivered the petit declaration of a paulo-postfuture war in the House of Commons on last Monday night.

Let me except the Foreign Ministers, much better informed the clubs d r 1)## oWBJjBEy Fersigny W » d his way ¡to the Ambassadors’ Gallery soon after the Speaker swooped his train into the House. Apponyi followed, looking like a magnate o f Hungary beside a ¡oam M jt iil t i i p N t i i iM k ' J U wa'JBuUupi o f all the leading courts were there. Mr. Horsmau had iM t l i historical occasion, anfl'

I t is said that Lora Johu spoke his speech, as he used to speak long ago, when it was supposed he had a soul. Certainly he spoke, as no one in that house ever again expected to hear him speak. But when it came to the last six or seven sentences, to the definitive words previously prepared and absolutely declaratory, for which A hmi . f f f f l i l ft taM l ' i l 'Hilt rTteipjjjr to tm d their telegrams in cipher, and despatoh their couriers by special train, the House seemed to shake. The fact appeared to transpire beforehand— “ W e are done with the hypocrisy of the entente cordiale ”—and every sentence was cheered, and every word, and every syllable.

But what is the fate of the Government in the face of these new eventualities ? The Government is in realityin ; because it is the Government best pleasing to Louis Napoleon. It has held office to this date by saying when¿ « A II hi ii i WvJ-nrpasP.rl “ W aII. nut. llJkiMi.(Aa lever it was hard-pressed, “ Well, put us out, and go to war with France.” And it has accordingly, by reason o f its strict intimacy with the French Government, been enabled to oatrageFranceinaway thata more independent Government could not have the chance o f doing. What is to become o f the Reform Bill, o f which it will be one of the most curious of constitutional anecdotes, that it was within five votes o f being counted out last week ? What is to become o f my friends, the Irish Liberal Party, who have swallowed, with the good digestion which always waits on appetite so eager, so many convictions f They are nowhere now. They are worth nothing now. They seem to be very much distraught. But I suppose I shall live to hear, iu the course o f another year, that several Irish Bishops have written letters, excusing their conduct —nay, regarding it as, under the circumstances, and for most prudential considerations, on the whole, eminently orthodoxj arid that after their re-election, I shall still affect to feel horribly scandalised, when I am told in the lobby, that it is an entire mistake to suppose that the Pastoral o f 1859 was, by any means, an intentional or valid expression of the true sentiments o f the Irisl

I wish the Irish Catholics could only distinctly realise the construction which their friends, the English Liberals, put upon their relations to Her Majesty’s present Ministers— they, the Liberals, hoping earnestly end striving with might and main to drive the Pope from Rome, and to produce an Italy, Protestant in Church and state : believing too that the Irish Catholics help them therein, first, for solid, sordid considerations ; and, secondly, because they don’t really believe in their religion. Of course, it never enters their minds to conceive that w< don’t know what is the, real drift of their policy. They don 1 conceal itirom us. The Timestells us everyday.
