ENGLAND. raeii’s Cabinet ManifestomThe Situa- nm Reviewed by the Ministers—The Chan. cellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary | to the Merchant Taylors. {From the London Times, June 18.) Last evening the master and wardens of the Mer- nt Taylors’ Company, one of the most time hon- of the ancient guilds of the city of London, en- ertained the Premier and the rest of her Mgjesty’s Ministers, with many others of the more consplc ous members of the conservative party, at banquet in their fine corporate hall in’ Thread- needle street. For week past Preparations had been made by the governing body of the company for the occasion, and the entertainment was upon a scale of extraordinary splendor. The guests were upwards of three hundred in number, and were seated accord- ing to rank at four parallel tables extending along the whole length of the hall, the Cabinet Ministers occupying a raised dais stretching across the west- ern end of the building. Right and left of the Master of the company (Mr. ohn T. Fletcher), who occupied the chair, were Mr. israeli, First Lord of the Treasury; Lord Cairns, Lord High Chancellor; the Karl of Malinesbury, Lord Privy Seal; the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Secre- tary of State for the Home Department; the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Secretary of State for War; the Duke of Richmond, President of the Board of Trado; the Earl of Mayo, Chief Secretary for Ireland; the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Waterford, the i juts of Exeter, the Ear! of Devon, the Duke of lariborough, Lord President of the Council; the the Duke of a) Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Buckingham, Secretary of State for Colonies; Sir Stafford H. Northcote, Sec- ea, of State for India; Lord John Manners, Commissioner of Works; the Duke of Athole, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Marquis of Drogheda, the Marquis of Bristol,’ the Earl of Bradford, the Lord Mayor, the Eari of Denbigh, the Earl of Gallo- ES the Earl of Coventry, the Eari of Jersey, the ari of Lauderdale and the Eurl of Seafield. Among the general company were the Earl of Macclesfield, the of Harrington, the Earl of Bathurst, the | Bari of Cadogan, the Karl of Darniey, the Earl of | Courtown, the Earl of Bandon, the Earl of Rosslyn, | HA Earl of Limerick, Earl Powis, Earl Nelson, Earl lanvera, the Earl of Verulam, the Earl of Shemeld, | the Earl of Amherst, Viscount Hamilton, M. P. The | tables were laden with a gorgeous display of plaie, and adorned with rare flowers of exquisite beauty, tastefully arrs . The hall itself is one of the most stately in the city of London, being lofty and well roportioned, and having a flat oaken- rool, disposed aaa: and embeilished with gold. It is chiefy | lighted on either side by four large painted windows and has a gallery at each end. Over that at the west- ern end are portraits of Willlam Pity the Duke of Wellington, Lord Eldon and the Duke of York, the whole history and traditions of the | eompany being eminently conservative, and | the drawing room, a noble apartment, reached by a rand oaken staircase, is ad- | orned with portraits of Charles If., William and Mary aud Jatnes I, while busts in marble of the Queen and the late Prince Consort ornament one of the principal corridors, The hall has often been the | scene of gee party gatherings and occasionally of @ political manifesto, notably so about twenty-live years ago, When the late Sir Robert Ps t @ dinner at Merchant Taylors’ Hali, dl the most famous of his speeches, addressed to his y at a@ crisis in their fortunes, the keynote of | ich was “Register, register, register!" ‘Tue Com- | pavy of Merchant Taylors is one of the twelve great | etvic guilds of London and among the oldest of them. | Some of the external walls of its corporate hall are | are said to have survived the Fire of London, and in | its long muster roll of kingly, noble and distinguishes | ay yy occur the ames of Edward lil., Richard L, five of tie Henrys, Edward [Y., Richara LL, bowen — need I. Accesstons of tilustrious | eminent persons in succeeding ages as honorar members of the company have been made from time { to time, the more recent of them being tie Prince | Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburg Gad Mr. George Peabody. | ‘The invited guests began to arrive about half-past | atx, and were received as they presented themselves ja the drawing room by the Master and Wardens of company. The @ Minister was cheered on ‘hie arrival, and again when the names of the com- pany were read after dinner by the toastmaster, as | Were also the Lord Chancellor, the Chancéllor of the | Exchequer, the Home Secretary, Sir Stafford North. Cote, the Earl of Mayo, aud the Duke of Richmond, | among ca andd ie bittet Ministers. Colonel Ir. Hen! Speaking at | vered one of M. P.; Sir George Bowyer, P., and Sir Watkins Williams Wynn, M. P., Were Well received. During dinner the band of the Coldstream Guards, | ‘under direction of Mr. Fred Godirey, played the | subjoined selected pleces;. | ‘8 Twilight F. Godfrey ave the of “Church and Queen,” nee said, would ‘ the removal of the cloth the MasTen be the keynote of the evening. The toast wasen- ustastioally cheered, jattonal Anthem, wit, Yona of ils ness the Prince ‘ales, the Princess o! the rest of the perst Family,” followed. Next came from the Chair the toast of ‘The Defenders of our Country—the Army, the Navy and Volunteers.” A conservative government, he said, was always more in war than any other, and recent ever oyal High- peace, and conservative government the Fesouroes capable of acts unt st an bt wae wi hat be Regie, Vith respect to ar of the navy, dificult and intricate as it Sey sure that under @ conservative government they would have the best shipa, the heaviest guns the most complete weapons of war. As to the volunteer movement, he believed it would be de- veloped to such an extent as to enable us to conten with any force that might be engaged against 1s, Sir SOMN PAKINGTON sald, under any clreumstances he had always esteemed it a great honor to apeak to the toast of “The Army,” with bravery of which the country had so long been fa- miliar, but on that occasion he could not help feelin that the toast wae not one of mere ordinary compli- ment and routine. ‘The British army had ju lished one of the most remarkable achic found recorded in the annals of this or other country—(cheers)—and he doubted whether there wore many great battles and great victories which had done mofe to extend and strengthen the prestige of this great nation in Europe and Asia than the late victorious campaign. (Cheers.) After that, we could hardly doubt that whenever the disciplined forces of the sovereign of England camie in con- tact with the armies of an uncivilized country, how- ever generous and brave they might be, under the bi of Providence our armies must be successful. It was not, therefore, the victory id gained that had made the recent expedition so remarkable and gratifying. The wonderful circumstances connected ‘with that expedition consisted in their unparalleled march from the Red Sea to Magdala, a distance accom: ements to the | and the band at the | ‘ales and | | great results [hi jer a | Kk | the discipline and | NEW YORK HERALD, pedition. Those noble fellows, he obaerved, wore first sent out to make arrangements for the arrival of the srr and were employed in constructing piers and providing water tor the troops, They also. v uateered their services to march from Zoulla to Mag: dala, and, according to an officer connected with the expedition, who arrived in this country on Tuesday jast, they evinced a sptrit of endurance and zeal on march which became an example to the army, bi Rue nothing: could exceed their discipline and devo- | tion to duty. | Colonel Loyp-Linpsay, M. P., speaking for the | volunteers, said, within a few days from that time numbers of them, chiefly from this great city, would | travel many miles and give up hours’ of their | time in order to pay respect to the Queen by march- ing past and saluting her Majesty in Windsor Park. LF MAREE SO. sone, 5 to propose foe fom ot fy evening. After expr regre! - avoidable absence of Lord. stante , through bis at- tendance on the Crown Prince of Denmark, he con- gratnlated the guild on having at their board so greet an assemblage of the talent, the eloquence and 9 intluence of the great conservative party. (Cheers,) It was one of the functions of those al- cient guilds to afford peculiar facilities for inter- course between the different classes composing our soctal hoay as well ag rallying points of party, which would otherwise be wanting. The Merchan Tatlors’ Company had alwaya been faithful to the traditions of the conservative party. (Loud cheers.) if the Irish Church went, what was secure the English Church? If it was disendowed what was to be the security for any other property whatever? He looked forward to the new Parliament with the confidence that it would evince more respect for for conservative principles than its predecessors, and tend to insure their success, He begged to as- sociate with the toastthe name of the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, First Lord of the Treasury, whose commanding genius, whose brilliant eloquence, un- shaken resolution, good temper and unfailing tact had enabled him to rule the storm, and, if he could not gain a port, had at least enabled hifn to keep tbe sea. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr, DISRAELI, On presenting himself to respond, was received with the most enthusiastic and pro- longed cheering. On silence being restored he said:—Master and Wardens, my lords and gentle- men, nothing can be more gratifying to her Majesty's Ministers than that their names should be received with cordial kindness among any body of their fe! | low countrymen; but under this roof that gratifi tion is greatly increased, and is indeed peculiar, because I cannot forget that at various intervals in this hall the constitutional party has often assem- | bled, sometimes im moments of adversity, some- | times in the hour of triumph, sometimes to rally, sometimes to organize, but always to vindicate those great principles upon which we believe are founded | the greatness of this country and the happiness of | ita people. (Cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, it is a year ago that in this hall I had the honor of re- turning thanks for the House of Commons. The arduous tasks that has been undertaken in our am glad to say that the group of great measures which, when uded and sanctioned by the sovereign, will consummate the task, are now on the eve of completion. We are more than in sight of port, and I think the country is to be congratulated that a task which has taken two years of the almost entire attention of Parliament is now about to be fulfilled—I believe to the general satisfaction of all men of rational and temperate opinions, (Cheers.) I cannot but believe that when the heat of our party contests has passed by the generation that follows us, and which will be more able aud impartial critics of this great undertaking than ourselves—I cannot but believe that their verdict will be that this was a great work not meanly accomplished, and that, on the whole, under great difficulties, we have brought about a political settlement which has successtully reconciled the traditions of our ancient country and the requirements of modern times. (Cheers.) But what is most strange and singular in this event- ful history is that just at the moment when a cou- stituent body is about to be established which will represent all classes, all interests and all opinions in the United Kingdom, no doubt more fully and more completely than before, or than was anticipated even by those favorable to political change—what is most strange and singular 18 that this great consti. tuent body, founded upon those enlarged sympathies and interests, will ve called upon as their first duty to decide whether they will sustain or whether they will subvert the constitution of their country. (Loud cheers.) I confess that I cannot resist recognizing the hand of Providence in this awful dispensation; and when I remember the circumstances under which this change in our political system was first conceived, and remember also the state of the politi- cal world at this moment, when its conclusion is abont to be accomplished, I cannot believe that it is through mere chance and the casual concurrence of every day affairs that England, with its increased franchises, which have no sound foundation except on the assumption that there is a healthy national spirit in the country, is called upon to decide whe- ther it will destroy or uphold its venerable consti- tution. (Cheers.) My lords and gentlemen, the constitution of England is not a paper constitu. tion, (Hear) It is an aggregate of institutions, many of them founded merely upon prescription, some of them fortiled by munimenuts, but all of them the fruit and experience of an aucient and illustrious people. (Chéers.) And the consequence of this peculiar constitution has been this—one ex- perienced by no other European nation—that in England society has always more powerful than the State—(hear)—for in moments of diMculty and danger, in moments of emergency, there has always in this country been something round wiich men could rally, aad by those means we have achiev- ed the two geeatest blessings of civilized communi- ties, which are seldom reconciled—the enjoyment alike of order and of liberty. (Cheers.) Now, among these institutions not the least inconsiderable is the Charch—(heur, hear)—and it Is in the alliance between Church and State—an aliiance between equal and independent powers, which entered into a solemn govenant for the national good—that one of the prin- pal causes May be recognized why we have enjoyed those two great blessings of freedom and order. It is not for me, my jords and gentlemen, and it Would beatask which at this moment it would be impertinent to enter upon, to touch upon the manifest and manifold blessings that have emanated from the union between Church and State; but, referring to those circumstances which our worthy Master las alluded to, there are two great consequences of that union which, [ think, ought to ve kept before the mind and conscience of the peo- ple of this country; and the first is that to that anion We are ludebted for this great result, that the exer- cise of authority io England has been connected with che principle of religion—a union which, even in rude times, made power responsible, and which rhebbenprtl oda! enna even in comparatively bar- arous periods, from omen mere police— (hear, hear)—a union which in happier times has elevated and purided and ennobled the exercise of power. And, my lords and gentiemen, in the age in Which we live the duties of vernment each year become more soclal than political. I am at a loss to know how these duties can be fulfilled if the State be not in intimate relation with an order of men set apart, who, by their piety, their learning and their Social devotion, not only guide and control, but soften and assuage the asperities of conflicting creeds, (Cheers,) But there Is still another ponse- quence Which i think should be placed before the country at this moment. Jt is that throvgh the union of Church and State the supremacy of the sovereign is secured here—(hear, hear)—ae it is secured in no other country; and it is to the | | | accomplishment of that supremacy of the sovereign power that we are indeb' and solely indebted, for that religions liberty which has been the greatest source of happiness to this country. Not by! do we | owe to the supremacy of the sovereign the blessings | of religious liverty, but as an inseparable conse- quence of the combination we find in that aupre- macy also one of the greatest guarantees of our civil rights, (Hear.) Well, it 13 @ very singular thing | that the constitution which hae given these two reat blessings to the aay is now adsatled and mp J, apd assail tia one might alinodh ny ec se a fr) acebn stied “he tro described. Ourexcellent Master i h whic! 5 jas alluded to the suddenness with which this attack has been made, but, although the attack haa been sudden, that is no reason why we should be idle and — that, because we have been be we nd ta by surprise, it is impossible to tts the country to a conviction of ry | indoleut, and On the contrary, each day y if aware of | the great changes re impending, and of the in- | jurious consequences that may ensue to the nation as the result. Tie country is becoming aware that there {3 no greater error tn the world than to suppose the existence of the Church of England is a matter af in- terest only to those who enjoy the ble: dlose communion with her, (Cheers.) The principles of the Reformation never would have sneceeded had they not been connected with a corporation so dis- | tinguished for.tts learning and plety and go fortilied by its position as the Church of England; and I ven- ture to say this, that if that Church were to fall the | Protestant Church of Europe would receive a wound | from which it would probably never revover. (Load cheers.) But at this moment of diMeulty and dan- ger the people of this country should recollect. for their cousolation that, though this is not the first | time their rights and liberties have been assailed and threatened, tt ta the first occasion upon which they can enter into their vindication and defence with peculiar advantages. On former occasions and in ola days, when the generations who preceded us had to experience the same struggle and the same peril, it was then sald that those who upheld the cause of the constitution of England and the | union of Church and State were struggling | In favor of penal legislation, and that, under the guise of religious fervor, they were ‘in fact of four hundred miles, over an Alpine country, without roads, with scanty supplies and without Allies in whom they could trust. It had been said, again and again, “Why do you not make a dash with ‘a thousand men?’ He believed there Was not a man ‘who had watched that expedition from ite com- mencement to its close who Was not now deep! vinced that if we had “made a dash with a thousand men” not one of thore thonsand men would have escaped. (Cheera,) Under the blessing of Provi- “dence, the ga result was owing to the extraor dinary comination of every quality essential to suc ceag Which was to be found in that great commander, Sir Robert Napier. rs:) Never was an expedi- tion conducted In the name of the sovereign of Eng- land with greater wisdom and prudence or which had done mpre to reflect honor on the discipline and bravery ‘of the British army. ee oreee He was happy to say that he bad reason to elieve that Sir Robert Napier would be in England before long, and he trusted he would be — with acclamations tefal country. (Cheers. i a le nea ANDER MYLNR, aking for the “Navy, said it had aiso participa’ in the Abvasinian ex- contending merely for peculiar privileges. That can | no longer be said. (Hear, hear.) The logisiation of | the last thirty years especialy has termiuated the | possibility of such misrepresentations.

Master Warden, you lave been kind enough to refer to the generai admit ration of the government, and I velleve at the moment of trial which is impending we may remember it with- out fear, During the two years that we have con ducted the affairs of this country, bone | under the guidance of iny tilustrious frieud, Lord Derby—(oud cheers)—1 wotild presume to say that they have been conducted in a manner of which we need not be | ashamed. (Hear, hear.) When we acceded to offices tue | House of Commons was then engaged in one of the | | ation, namely, the reconstruction, and that upon a ‘large scale, and on abroad basis, | | of the representative stem of the United |} Kingdom. — Another year has elapsed,’ and we are still engaged in that labor, but tte duty | & consciousness of the changes that are | ing of being in | name of England wasa namo of auspicton and dis- | trust in every foreign Court and Cabinet. (Cheers,) There was vo posstbilily of that cordiat action with any of the great Powers which is the only security for peace; and in consequence of that want of cor- diailty wars were frequently occurring. But since @ entered upon oflice and public affairs wore ad- ministered by my noble friend who is deprived by a special diplomatic duty of the erection, of here this evening, I ay that has cha! 5 that there never extated between land and for- eign Powers a feeling of greater cordlality and con- fidence than now oral (oheers) while we have shrunk from bustling and arrogant ntermed- dlina—/cheer's) —we have never’ sakan naftion inaeltel isolation, and the result has been t was a government in this country which has been boyd Hog meters Bo gre to for tts ly tan the one w! now existe, And I have no heal- tation in saying that on more than one it was owing 40 the cordial confidence which we have established that the peace of Europe was main- tained (hear, hear)—that it was maintained under considerable diMoulties and even orgs although society may not always have m conscious of em, But at no time in the history of this count has the prospect of oon- tinued peace en more worable than it is at present, and I attribute it to the due exercise of the just influence of England that at this moment the waters of the Rhine and the Danube are alike undisturbed, (Cheers.) Then, my lords and gentle- men, when we acceded to office we had to encounter a fell conspiracy, organized in foreign countries, but which meditated upon our own soil civil war, and clvil war, too, stimulated by assassination, ‘Then, how have we dealt with those dangers, both in Ire- Jand and in England’ Well, I will only appeal with confidence to our opponents on that subject. Have they not themselves recognized that those dangers and difllculties have been encountered with so much firmness.and so much discretion that, while those machinations have been defeated and quelled, they have been put down in a manner which leaves no stain upon the merciful pene of England. (Hear, hear.) The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland 1s, 1 am happy to say, sir, one of your guests this evening, and I may be allowed to express the pride which [ feel that in my humble efforts to carry on the affairs of this country I have been supported by a states- man who has gained the admiration of hls country- men. (Cheers.) Then, my lords and gentlemen, the Secretary of State for the Home Department— (cheers)—who had peculiarly to confront in this country the pertis of our position—I think the conduct of that great oficer of State has been such as to commend him to the good opinion of his coun- trymen, as it has obtained for him the confidence of his sovereign. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, I have touched on these two great divisions of our adminis- tration, the management of foreign and domestic affairs, and I think f may Bay, without indulging m the language of exaggeration, that as a ministry we need not, upon those two great heads, fear the ver- dict of our countrymen, (Cheers.) And yet I some- times hear that itis a matter of charity that want of confidence is not formally expressed in her Majesty's ministers, (Laughter.) “With regard to finance, gentlemen, speaking in this hall, in the centre of the great metropolis of this country, very near the Bank of England—(a laugh)—I think [ may remind you that When we acceded to office about two years ago the memory of “Black Friday” was still fresh in your recollection. (Hear, hear.) You will remember that when we acceded to office we found the commerial cre- dit of England tn a state of prostration probablynever before paralleled. From that state it Nas not yet, we all know, entirely recovered, and tt has had a most injurious effect upon the enterprise of the country, and in some degree also upon the public revenue; WHDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1868.—TI RIPLE SHEET, i} hear,” and ataugh.) Speaking In this hall, [ cannot | but remember that on previous occasions those Who have filled the post of iny right honorable friend the Prime Minister Layo called attention to the necea- | ality of yo! exerting yourselves to place those | in whom you have confidence in a position which alone can enable tiem to carry out your priu- cipies. (Hear, hear.) d I must say that if we shrink from encountering our opponents in the face of the new constituencies, then, in |, We have done an action of which we shall have reagon to be ashamed; bat, on the contrary, if we go down to that arena in which we may expect to meet. men who have not hitherto taken muo! yy in pe in which we shall have ht wider and more extended character than the pre- vious Constituencies, and if we challenge their ver- dict on the prinoiples we avow and the policy we de- sire to follow, then d think we shall find the new electoral sound at heart and ready to rally round the supporters of the great institutions of the country, rather than to listen to the vain and alli arta of dem: es. {heer And if you fairly Place before them the alternative of great unsettle- ment and continued change, on the one hand, and moderate reform and the protection and preserva- tion of the institutions that you revere on I for my part have no doubt whatever that, first in the Registration Courts and then in the House of Commons, we shall see our principles triumphant. (Loud cheers, ‘The Duke of MARLBOROUGH proposed ‘‘The Health of the Corporation of the Oity of London,’ coupling with it the name of the Lord Mayor. (Cheers.) ‘The LonpD Mayor, in returning thanks, said the office of chief magistrate of this great city had, per- haps, never been filled by a person more desirous of supporting her jesty’s government than its present occupant, and although he had on several occasions been called to account for the support he had given them, he cared not for that. (Cheers and alaugh.) Heshould perseverein the course which he had chalked out for himself, aud support both Church and State. It had been said that he had no right to express those opinions as a chief magistrate, but he expressed them in his individual capacity, (Cheers and a laugh.) Mr. DisRAKLI—As some people have devised a new stem of politics opposed aay ead property and liberty, (take this opportunity of requesting you to express your sympathy with one of the ancient in- stitutions of the country—the Merchant Teyloral Company, (Cheers.) If, unhappily, the op! inions which are now introduced to public notice, but which I trust will receive their answer at the impending election, and to prevail in this country, this, like every othor institution, will probably be placed in such a posttion that we cannot meet again ‘under the same circumstanees as to-night, (Laugh- ter.) I therefore wish to take this opportunity of requesting you to express your respect for an insti- tation which is now historical and connected with the constitution of England, with statesmen, with events that have occurred in the annals of our coun- try, and with the wise management of property on a large scale, which is greatly appreciated by the peo- Be of England. I asking you, then, to drink the health of the Merchant Green Company, connected with property and with all those duties which pro- perty entails upon itself, and especially with @ most enlightened system of education—I will take the lib- erty of associating with It the name ofour excellent Master, who has presided over our proceedings this evening with so much dignity and grace, and who has given such a cordial welcome to those who are proud to be his guests.

Instead, however, of disaster it has led to perhaps the most complete mili- tary success that is upon record, in which a dificult problem has been solved with mathematical prect- sion, and which in its consequences has elevated the military character of England throughout the world, {gneers.) But it has done more, I think, than elevate ‘he military character of Kngiand, It has raised the moral character of England, by showing that we were capable of 80 great an aon Agi for the high- est and holiest dufies of humanity, and that a na- tion could feel that, like an individual, under cir- cumstances of extreme dificulty, it ought | to follow the dictates of consciencé.

I am weil aware that in this hali, where constitutional opinions have so often found emiph le utterance, the men- tion of the House of Lords is something more than matter of mere courtesy and form, and I think Ido not claim on behalf of that branch of the Legislature which I have the honor to represent more than ts its due when | say that at no former period was it ant- mated with a more sincere desire to discharge its er) public functions for the public welfare, and, maintain, to improve and, at the same time, to — the harmonious working of the institu. fons of the country. It is occasionally a habit with some to accuse the House of Peers with a want of energy in the performance of tts legislative duties. That, however, is a charge which can hard! be made with justice tn reference to the presen! session. We have in the House of Peers, not to speak of many questions, been considering four measures of great and primary importance which have ail originated in that House. fer to the bill for the regulation and correction of the internal gov- ernment of railway companies—(hear, hi measure for the amendment of the working of the poor law, a proposal for dealing with the great ques- jon of public education in this country and the code—than which none has been more urgently de- manded in this great city and throughout the coun- | try—for the complete remodelling and amendment of theslaw of bankruptcy. (Hear, hear.) Two of these measures have now, I may say, passed through the House of Lords, and the two latter we have been obliged to place in abeyance, indisposition on the part of the House ol Lords to continue their consideration, but by reason of the derangement of public affairs in the House of Commons. (Hear, hear,” and @ Jaugh.) 1 think tt may well be doubted whether the public will be gainers by a policy which has thrast aside the he and necessary business of the coun- try in order to force upon us @ hurried attack upon one of tts most sacred Institutions—(hear, hear)—but We ought, perht to make some allowance the violence with which the conscientious convicttor ani impulses of statesmen, smothered and “ee during the long course of thirty years— laughter aad cheers)—have burst forth after something ITke a year spent in the shade of Opposition.

In the House of Lords, June 19, the Earl of Ellen- boro paid a highly eulogistic tribute to the military merits of the Abyssinian Campaign which, he said was only equalled by Hannibal's celebrated passage of the Alps, and reed that the exper eiovaky forces ought to be received with military honors, for which if there was no precedent, it would be only right to make one. After some remarks from the Earl of Malmesbury, the Duke of Cambridge, Earl Gray and Lord Lyveden the subject cropped. The rest of the sitting was principally occupied with some remarks with reference to a memorial of the Board of Trade with respect to certain crown rights in Scotland and the design of the new law courts, The Poor Relief bill was read a second time and passed, The House of Commons was counted out on the 19th of June, at a very early hour, after the disposal of some private business.

The Suez Canal Fund Lottery—Cabinet Plan of Mexican Bonds Payment—Imperial Fi- nance and the Budget. {Paris (June 19) correspondence of London Times.) ‘The Legislative Body has voted, not unanimously, a3 was expected, but by the large majority of 179 to 8, the bill which authorizes the Suez Canal Company to ralse money by lottery. The minority who voted against consisted of MM. Jules Favre, Girot, Lan- ines, Magnin, Marie, the Duke de Marmier, the Viscount de Richemont and Ernest Picard. Forty- eight deputies, among them MM. Berryer and Thiers, abstained from voting; forty-five were “absent on leave.” Those who rejected the law did so, not be- cause they were opposed to the Suez Canal, but be- cause they disapproved what they think is a most unusual mode of raising money. In alluding to the fact of capitalists declining to come forward, M, Jules Favre observed:—‘‘Capital ia free, an whatever be the motive that actnates those who withdraw it, we may be certain that there is every chance of the enterprise being a bad one."” He con- tinued:—How, then, are you trying to get capitalists to aid you?

The close of a session is the most Important part of it, and fam unwilling to absent myself unless obi to do so by circumstances which justify such al The gray of meeting you, great as it wonld could hardly afford the reanistts justification. trust you will pardon me, therefore, if, while re- Spectfully and gratefully declining your invitation, I allude to the circumstances referred to in your letter as of a somewhat “peculiar” character. The impeachment of the President of the United States for te crimes and misdemeanors was a most extraordinary event, and will constitute a re- markable chapter in our country’s history, The con- duct of the President almost from the commencement of his administration, been such as to render him obnoxious to the suspicion of design- ing to defeat the cherished objects of th who elected him, and of plunging the country back into a condition which they considered to be little better than that from which it had recently been rescued at so vast a@ sacrifice. po confidently and fondly looked forward to the second term of President Lin- coin to consummate the great work of complete and geet restoration upon a broad and durable basis, it Was not only humiliating to them, but irritating in the extreme, to find in his successor an adv: and a stumbling block. Such a state of affairs call for an amount f patience not to be reasonably ex- pected from mén who had set their hearta npon the accomplishment of a ee for which they had long and earnestly tolled, and, but for this most unlooked-for min chr med to have won. In the state of public feeling aroused by this con- dition of affairs an opportunity of ee such an obstacle to their Bo ag Ve constitutional means seemed to present itself, and was seized with avidity, Ido not wonder that the idea of impeachment was popular, nor did it surprise me that, under such cir- cumstances, but few could stop to consider that the long catalogue of the President's all offences, prior to the removal of Mr. Stanton, for the most part been underanvestigation by a learned and able pata wa the Mons Sys tris Sly upon, ani jouse by a vi 01 had voted against an impencament for those ot. fences; and, accordingly, with the apy ro charge in the tenth article, which was prior in date, they made no of the > ae? with a view to protect unless ere the advice mae imprewions so a produced by ‘diaappofntment an suget at 8 gay, and conduct, the be- lief that he was on trial i his acts and commission, and the fixed opinion that he nad wil- fully violated an act of Uongress, tt is not sti that the Majority of those who elected Mr, Johnson could see no.reason why he should not be at once re- moved from office nor ear mot excuse for hesita- rig (ed and it be- red ‘that the trial could ton: that the case was false to his prinoiples, control} inal influences, and a ones flag.

The immediate cause of iopeachment and tho main article upon which it was founded was the removal of the Secretary of War. Two honorable and learned Senators, not included in ‘the seven," announced their opinions that the President was not uilty upon this article, and it was not considered in them angrror of judgment, much Jess a betrayal of party, 30 Tong as they were able to vote for con- viction upon the eleventh. Other Senators in their opinions declared themselves unable to sustain the fourth, Aifth, sixth, seventh, ninth and tenth. No articles could be found which would secure the vote 1 thiste-Bve Senators except the second, third and eleventh, And yet the political orthodoxy of Sena tors waa saved by a vote for conviction n some- thing. To all such the full right of independent judgment was fully conceded, while such as claimed and exercised the same right upon all the articles were unsparingly denounced as traitors and claimed infamous in advance by a Manager wh 10 substantially declared in the House that without the eleventh cle the whole were good for nothing. You will readily perceive, gentlemen, that a state of opinion and feeling throughout the country such as I have described was not favorable to a calm and Hopartias judgment. Senators could not but see and feel that any vote other than for conviction would expose them to a storm of bs syd indignation, which, however unjust, is hard to be borne and slow to be appeased. Nevertheless, experience has showm that there are occasions in the life of most public men when fo breast such a storm becomes a simple act of duty. There may be cases in which party loses its claim upon the representative; when party, objects and party, advani must be subordinated to hi considerations of the public good; in which every in- dividual must jadge for himself.and cannot regulate either his opinions or his actions by the wishes of those who elected him to office, being responsible, of course, to that popular judgment which will scan his motives and eventually decide whether he has acted as peed mes an honest and upright servant of the people. It seemed to me that this trial of the President was, from its very nature, eminently one of those oceasions, The officer impeached was the elected Chief Magistrate of the nation, He was arraigned upon specific charges, Although the offences 3] \- fied were political, the proceeding itself I coul but re; a8 of a judicial character, The constitu- tion of the tribunal, the oath imposed upon its mein- bers, impressed me with the belief that in coming to @ conclusion I was bound to lay aside, so far as poa sible, all prejudice inst the individual, and to try him solely upon the law and the facts applicable to the crimes and misdemeanors charged in the articles. In this great and most important proceeding the people themselves were prosecutors before a tribunal of their own selection, The members were, to be sure, servants of the people, responsible to them, but only as judges are, for an honesi decision of the case submitted. All the attempts to coerce a deciston by outside pressure, by appeals to party obligations or party necessity, by public meetings, by threats and vituperation, were, in my opinion, as essentially wrong as if meres to ny case of private right be- fore any court in the land, and wore in. their nature subversive alike of justice and of public and private morality. Entertaining these views, gentlemen, I was of the opinion that in coming to a conclusion upon the arti- cles of impeachment preferred by the House of Rey resentatives against the President I must base question of pale or innocence upon those articles, and those alone; and, further, that acting in a judl- cial capacity it was iy duty ‘to decide according to my own deliberate judgment upon the case pre- sented; that although the questions involved were tn a general sense of a political, they were in no sense ofa party Shagacters that party nares and party meetings had no right to dictate, and I ought not to allow them to influence my decision; that I was bound to disregard all external influences and all attempts to control my Judgment by appeals of a Fags nature, addressed either to my popet or fears. in a word, I considered the matter entirely beyond and above party jurisdiction, ‘ The conclusion at which I arnved is well known toyou. My reasons are before the Ryton G and 1 do not desire to repeat them. All I claim forthem , is that, in common oni may be believed te be my true reasons. Forthem and for the vote I gave I offer no excuse or apology, and ask no vindt- cation; nor do I consider myself entitled to especial credit for cor or conscient the disc! of what I considered an imperative duty.
