Voices and the confusion of voices have prevailed; and mstead of safety, danger has re- sulted from the multitude of counsellors. Perhaps no theme 1s in ttseif more fruitful of discussion or is more calculated to create disssnsion than that of National Education, and Mr. Gladstone has been finding out this to his cost since the opening of the @obate upon the second reading of his measure. Hard hitting bas abounded, personalities have been ragged into give piquancy to the specches, and the Treasury Beach has been perfectly over- whelmed with torrents of advice, reproof, correc: tlon and instruction. Such @ beating of the drum political weave not had for along tlae past— gach din and threatentng, strife and vain jangling. Unfortunately for the prospect of an early sottiement Of the question every member holds his own opinion upon Ii, bas his pet tneory respecting It, belleves hia own nostrum to be the only infallible, cure for the distemper, and ts into‘erant almostto flerceness of all other opinions, theories ond nostrums whatso- ever. Religious system. secilar syatem, mixed sya- tem, deaominaticnal system, Ungectarian system, and many others waich it is impossible to define or classify, have beeu rampant in the persons of their several supporters, and for the past few days have Milled the House with quite a Babel of utterance, “You ought not to read the Bible in the schools.” “You ought to read the Bible in the schools.”” “The State has nothing to do with reilgion.”” “Tne State has everything to do witn religion.” “Give us free schools and compuisory education.” “Don’t give us free schools or compulsory education.” Such has been the conflicting advice that bas been Incessaatly hurled at the head of Mr. Gladstone, Who 1s at pres Bnt in the predicament of Frankiin’s old man, who took his a33 vo market, and is in vain crying aloud to be saved from his friends, MR. GLADSTONE IN A FIX. ‘The truth is the Primo Minister has allowed him- self to get into a fix whlch, although not very om- nous at present, may have for bim ulterior con: quences ofa grave and even dangerous character.

Unable to cope single-handea ‘witb either the whigs or the tories, they have all along proceeded upon the pian of casting in their lot with either where there was a prospect of circumventing the third. Thus what the whigs refused co them they generally got from the tories, and what the tories would not grant shey screwed out of the whigs, Knowing tia: this was the only way or giving rapid etfect to their republican principles, they have not scrupled to help forward democracy by co-operating With its sworn enemies. Powerless themselves, it bas accordingly happened that they Dave become almost the most powerfal.

Appeal alter appeal was inaue to ce raaicais to witndraw their motion, and-ailow tiie bill to be read asecoad ume; but they were inoxorable. They said practi. caliy to the Ministry, “You have ignored us and Played into the hauds of our euemivs. ‘Tue House of Lords (which we enabled you to overtirow 108% year on tue irigh Church measure) has frigutened you, and preveuied you biiagiug Ina tucrougniy liweral oul, in accurdunce witu your own principles aud ol:-declared convictions.

To understand the ‘scene’ which followed this announcement I must premise that last year a se- lect committee Was appointed to inquire into and re- port upon the pres®ut mode of cunducting pariia- mentary and municipal elections. That comuiitee, which was presided over by the Marquis of Haraug- von, Postmaster General, and son and hetr of the great Duke of Devousuire, by @ majority of one re- ported in favor of the aduption of tie ballot. 1 must further premise that Mr. Leatham, @ brother-in-law of Mir. John Bright, had introuuced a bill upon the ballot, whicn stood upon yesterday's ‘orders’ ror second reXding. When the order was cailed Lord Harungton (Mr. Gladstone being absent) surprised everybody by jumping up and kaying that-govern- nent admitted the principle of ube balldt, and wouid, i the business of the session permitted, introduce a bill upon the subject themseives, He therefore asked Mr. Leatham to allow his bil to be read a second time pro sorma, and leave the Guesuion over to be deait with by tie Ministry. RAGR OF THE CONSERVATIVES. Had a liguted bomb been tossed into the midat of “the lusty tory squires they cuud not have been more confounded. For 3 moment they looked at each other with incredulity, ag if to gam from tne coun- tenances of their neighbors an assurance that taeir ears bad heard arigut, and then they burst away into wild, indiscriminate speech with a vigor of lunga that would have done credit toa run across couatry at the heels of ite hounds. Quite a “freo"’ fight ensued, and for @ round bour ana a hall the House was ina white heat and fluster of excite- ment. Member afier member on tne conservative side rose and poured out tne full measure of his bile upon the Muistry, They charged the government with knavery, duplicity, dishonesty, political turpitude aud various other deeds, wuich, though differont tm name, meant exactly the game thing. They ‘accused Mr. Gladstone of throwing tle ballot to his followers as a pone to stop their growling upon education, and aeciared in quite a acreech of indignation that taey would opt consent to the second reading of Mr. Leatham’s bili because 1t would picdge tne iouze irretrievably to the allirmation of tha principle of the bal.ot. Loualy crowed tue liberalg ut finding their adversa- ries thus consum~d withire and hurliag with iree hand their maledictions. They cheered uproariousiy and tossed about in @ high state of gratuation. ‘ihey numbered two to one as compared with the tories, and, unable to conceal thelr joy at their nu- merical superiority, they at once resolved to ‘force the fighting” and smite their adversaries uncer we tith rib, by pressing forward @uivision, which would regult in an easy victory. DILEMMA OF THE CONSERVATIVES. “What are we to do?” waa at once the feverish exclamation of the aquires and jandowners. *lae position 19 rather critical. If we go to a division we shall be beaten, and the principle of the ballot will then have been afirmed by the English Parliament. We must resist.’? But how to resist was @ prodiem that was not 60 easy to answer. The liberals were determined not to waste time by talk, but to goto a division at once, The tories, on tie other hand, were resolved to avert the division by every possible means, because in that lay their only chance of warding off what they con- Sidered would be @ catastrophe. Swift to perceive their dilemma they at once resolved toget rid of tne ailicuity of the second reading py having recourse to what are called the forms of the House. These are only taken advantage of in cases of extremity, and are soie.y used for tie purposes of obstruction, By means of them three members, If they have the assurance and the courage, can obstruct and deieat 300. shia obstructive policy may be very briedy explained. When a minority finds itsclf sure to be defeated one of its members 18 put up to move the adjournment of the debate. ‘Lhe vote is taken and the mouon 1 of course lost. A second member of the miuorit next moves the adjournment of the House, whic! resolution 13 lost in its turn.
