By so doing they would dissipate the anxieties of many sensitive and excellent persons, and probably, after giving such a practical proof of the use of Spiri- tualism, convert sceptics and unbelievers into inquirers and disciples.

LORD HALIFAX. Sir Charles Wood seems to have appended himself to the historic title of Halifax, rather than to have assumed it. It is not so much that he wean it as that he is ab- sorbed in it. The shadow of a great name is more potent than the substance of a meagre politician. The present Lord Halifax has no connection either of lineage or of character with the illustrious Trimmer of the close of the 17th century, who was a man of wit and of letters, nor with the eonsisteat Whig of the beginning of the 18 th sentury, who was a successful Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Woods have never had any dealings with the Spilles or the Montagus. It is almost a pity that families arijnot allowed to register titles, as the proprietors of magazines load newspapers are sometimes in the habit of doing, not so much for their own use M for the purpose of preventing their employment by unauthorised and unconnected persons. Sir Charles Wood's assumption of the title of Lord Halifax was due, we believe, to his gratitude to the constituency which put him aside in favour of Mr. Akroyd; but probably this feeling was blended with some dim recollec- tion of the great Marquis and the distinguished Earl who had illustrated the name before. If Sir John Pakington, as a notable Minister of War, should solicit elevation to the peerage with the title of Lord Chatham, who was a great War Minister, he would only be following, and would scarcely be exaggerating, a pre- cedent. The present Lord Halifax's career will probably be better understood when the secret history of the past half century is written than it is now; and among the secrete to be revealed, when memoirs and correspondence now under lock and key are disclosed, will be the well- kept secret of the abilities which have enabled him to play the part he has sustained in public life. His career begins with a puzzle. Lord Halifax took a double-first" at Oxford. It is useless to ask how he can have done no; he did so. The fact remains, though the explanation is imperfect; and the University Calendar bears witness to It. A double-flrst did not, perhaps, mean quite as much half a century ago as it does now; but it meant something, and whatever it meant goes to the credit of Lord Halifax. We do not profess to have read all the speeches which he has delivered during an active Parliamentary life of forty-nix or forty-seven years, but we shall be surprised if a sentence can be produced from any one of them which betrays even a reminiscence of scholar- ship. Lord Halifax's abstinence from hack quotations and a schoolboy parade of erudition is creditable to him; but the unimpeded passage through his mind of a certain amount of humane literature, without leaving a trace or depositing a memory, is a curious psychological phenome- non. It would be hard-we do not say impossible—to find a literary allusion in any of his speeches. We recol- lect one, indeed. When commenting upon a supposed self-contradiction of Mr. Disraeli's, he asked whether there were two Benjamins in the field. This, so far as we know, is the most, brilliant thing Lord Halifax ever said. If there is anything cleverer in what the Americans call his record, let it be produced. Lord Halifax's early entrance into official life, and his steady progress in it, present, as we have intimated, some difficulty to the philosophic inquirer. A partial explanation may be found in the fact that he was the son-in-law of Earl Grey, whose family affections are as well know as his patriotism, with which they gracefully blended in the public service, and especially in the distri- bution of patronage. Lord Halifax's political life has borne to the end—though it is premature to speak of the end-the impress stamped on it at the beginning. At present, in the office of Lord Privy Seal and in the House of Lords, he is a sort of mag- nified and glorified Whip, a transfigured party manager and confidential adviser, or Professor Emeritus of Parliamentary and Administrative tactics. In the House of Commons, as Mr. (and afterwards Sir Charles) Wood, he was in succession Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of the Admiralty, Chancellor of the Exchequer, President of the Board of Control, First Lord of the Ad- miralty, and Secretary of State for India. Well versed in the routine of public business, and not capable of much beyond it, he is always spoken of. in the conventional lan- guage of eulogy at default, as a first-rate administrator. The proof was never apparent; it belongs to secret his- tory. His colleagues, however, believe in him, or acquiesce in his behalf in himself. As a speaker, Lord Halifax is probably the very wont ever known during the present Parliamentary generation to whom anybody was obliged to listen. It is difficult to assign pre-eminence in badness to his manner or to his matter, if, indeed, there can be said to be either. a matter or a manner in his speeches. A dislocated incoherence in substance, and an inarticulate rapidity of utterance, reduce the listener to something like distraction. When the peculiar acoustic qualities of the House of Lords set off these natural oratoric advantages, the effect may be imagined. Lord Halifax's eloquence resembles nothing so much as the sounds with which a lively deaf-mute accompanies his finger-talk. We have spoken of the apparent inoperativeness of Lord Halifax's University training and attainments upon his mind and character. There is, as we have said, not a trace of them in his speeches. They have never moulded nor coloured a sentence, nor dictated an allusion. Lord Halifax never, so far as it is possible to assert a universal negative, gave expression to anything which in the proper sense could be called a thought—a conception of his own taking shape and hues from the soil in which it grew and the influences about it. During the course of his life he has laid" Yes" or "No" to a great number of propositions which have been submitted to him from without, and this is about all. Of course there is something positive to be set against all these negative qualities. Lord Halifax is a man of great quickness of superficial apprehensions and acquisition. In this way we account for his getting-in I. Uniyenity attainments, which he promptly gave out in examination, and, in giving out, appears to have parted with for ever. The testimony of some of those who have been associated with him in administration is that he sees with marvellous rapidity all that he does see of any ques- tion which is submitted to him, which is the minimum visibile, the least that can be seen, about a thirteenth, say, or some smaller portion, of it; and on that he proceeds complacently to act, as if it were the whole. Nothing short of a miraculous re-conatitution of his mental facul- ties could enable him to see more. This prompti- tude of wrong action upon imperfect conceptions has given Lord Halifax a certain reputation as a man of administrative capacity; while the readiness with which he will give a bad opinion. while men of sounder and lar- ger intelligence are slowly feeling their way to a good one, makes him an advisee full of sagacity ana resource. It is sometimes more consoling to a Minister in difficulties to have a wrong answer to a critical and urgent question than to have no answer at all. His great claim, however, to office in the present Ministry is that he is a busy, mobile, talkative person, who sees and converses with a great number of people; and that it is much better that he should talk to his ljrSe circle of acquaintance in and out of the House of Lords, with a bias in favour of the present Government, than with a prejudice against them. In discharging this office, he has returned practically to his first nolitical functions. Lord Halifax is believed to have been the real framer of Lord Palmerston's second Administra- tion. He is understood to have been the medium of com- munication between Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell; and the good natured indifference of the former and the discontented apathy of the latter left him often free to do what he pleaaed with men and with places. This is just the work in which Lord Halifax delights. He inherits the old Whig traditions of combination and management, which were very useful in their day, if a little obsolete and practically inconvenient now and, for good or evil, he probably exercises no small power on the personal adjust- ments and readjustments of the present Ministry.—" Our ti" Dalum ;Vfw.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. SPAIN" AND CUBA. The Times observes that emancipation in Cuba is beset with greater dangers than in Porto Eico, and may be longer delayed. The power of the Crown is in abeyance in large districts of the island. Of those who are covertly or openly hostile to Spain, some are Emancipationists, and others are supporters of slavery; but either party is equally jealous of submitting to the dictation of the mother country, and it may be taken for granted that the great majority of the rich and power- ful, whether Spaniards or Cubans born, are in < their hearts against the change. All their traditions and habits are bound up with the system they have inherited. They know that it has made the island one of the wealthiest regions of the world, and they refuse to believe that the emancipated negro will work- at least, for them. They reeollect that Cuba has pro- fited by the misfortunes of her neighbours, first of Hayti and then of the British Islands, and that these misfor- tunes were connected with the abolition of slavery. The older people remember the slave trade in full vigour, when, in spite of the most positive obligations of treaty, the negroes introduced into the island numbered from 12,000 to 15,000 a year. This period. which extended over the thirty years after the Peace of 1815, made the Cubans millionaires; they look back to it with regret and regard emancipation with fear and distrust. It may also be that the stories related of the Southern State of America since the war have caused alarm in the island. Of course the miserable condition of the white gentry under the sway of negroes and carpet-baggers is exaggerated by rumour, but perhaps there is enough of truth in it to give just cause for the apprehensions of the Cuban whites. It will need courage and caution on the part of the Spanish Go- vernment to overcome these feelings, and to do justice amid all these conflicting rights. But even in Cuba a beginning may be made at once, if the Spanish Govern- ment be sincere in their intention to free the slaves throughout the King's dominions. This, at least, may be said in favour of a bold and humane policy in Cuba—that it would engage the sympathies of Great Britain and the United States in favour of Spain, and thus probably do much to restore tranquillity to the distracted island. RUSSIA IN ASIA. It is well, says the Daily News, that the possible com- plications of Central Asian policy should be discussed plainly by the Governments and people of each of the countries most directly concerned in them. This is not one of those cases in which honour and the sentiment of self-esteem are so deeply engaged that discussion is as likely to do harm as good. W^e have no plans of future con- quest which Eussia is thwarting, and Eussia is not com- mitted, either by profession or interest, to any plans which need bring the two Powers into collision. Her statesmen and journalists declare that she is only pursuing her civilizing mission in reclaiming hordes and territories from barbarism. On the justice of this pretension we have been contented for years to keep silence and now that we speak, it is not to contest the right of Eussia to civilise her neighbours, but to declare that one process of civilisa- tion must not be carried on in such a way as to endanger another and far greater. When the vast population of India, nearly equal to that of all Europe, is considered, with all the interests which depend on the maintenance of peace and order throughout its length and breadth, it will be admitted that we have a good right to demand that the tranquillity of that Empire shall not be wantonly or thoughtlessly jeopardised. Some foolish writers in a northern capital, who, in their desire to de- fame us, have forgotten what they owe to the reputation of their country for good sense, have lately discussed our representations to Eussia as if they were prompted by apprehensions for the safety of India. The only excuse that can be made for these detractors is that they are in utter ignorance of the responsibilities of power. Our hold on India is in no danger, but is in every respect firmer than it has been at any time in our history. The Post declares that the practical effect of the recent diplomatic skirmish between the Governments of Russia and England amount to this We have been compelled to abandon the policy of "masterly inactivity" which we had main^ped to the very latest possible moment; we have founSpt necessary to clear away the mists of doubt and uncertainty hanging over the question by speaking Cf»boldly and plainly to Eussia ana we have committed ourselves to the adoption of measures that will render us secure, whatever be the aims, intentions, or movements of Eussia. The course pursued by our Government was un- doubtedly a strong measure, and could only have been adopted upon a thorough conviction of the rights and urgency of the case. But such a course cannot be adopted with dignity and success unless it be fol- lowed up by measures indicating the resolve to make good the words that have been spoken. Russia has now assumed such a position in Turkestan and Persia that it would be idle for us to try to ignore its significance, and dangerous for us to stand quietly by while the Eussian game is being further developed. In fact, we have at last formally and actually opened our eyes to the real state of affairs, and both admitted and asserted that we may have to take measures for the preservation of our territory and interests. It is not, of course, for a moment to be sup- posed that Eussia will either upon our awakening or pro- testation fall back from the position she has gained, or halt in the prosecution of her schemes. We may, on the contrary, expect to find her more active than ever'in con- solidating her power in Central Asia. If so, we clearly shall be bound, throwing off all useless hesitation and secrecy in the matter, to proceed to strengthen our position and influence on the borders of our north-west frontier with thoroughness and despatch. THE MEMBERS FOB BIRMINGHAM. The Standard remarks that the meeting between the Liberal members for Birmingham and their constituents is again shorn of its interest by Mr. Bright's inability to be present. In the absence of "the tribune of the people," Mr. Dixon and Mr. Muntz provided but meagre fare for the Birmingham Liberals. On the education question Mr. Dixon knows his own plot of ground pretty well, but he gets terribly abroad in dealing with the army and navy estimates. For instance, his assumption that the Government has saved money in its naval expenditure ignores altogether the disastrous condition of rum from which the navy was rescued under the Conservative Administration. He is prepared to be wildly extravagant so far as the outlay upon national education is concerned. For instance, he would cut down the army estimates by ten millions, and increase the education vote by five millions. Can Mr. Dixon and his friends seriously suppose that the country will sanction such preposterous extravagance merely to play the game of the- Nonconformists and Secularists against the Established Church ? Much must be forgiven to Mr. Muntz in consideration of his earnest and vigorous pro- test against the adoption of the 1 iltramontane policy in regard to Irish education, and of his happy exposure of one of the democratic fallacies on the land question. With regard to the former he declares plainly that the Govern- ment will assuredly precipitate its downfall if it should propose to hand over Irish education to the Ultramontane hierarchy. As to the latter, he confesses that it is a serious matter," and that he cannot see his way beyond the abolition of the law of entail. TIFT POLICY OF THE BONAPARTISTS. Brought together, says the Teleyraph, by an unlooked- for and solemn event, it followed, almost as a matter of course, that the gentlemen who hastened to Camden Place would not separate v.-ithout settling the bases of future action. Deliberating in cordial concert with the Empress, they wisely resolved to provide for unity of aim a.nd management. We are told, and we believe, that the headship of the party is as rounded and complete as it was during the life of Napoleon III. that no change has been maae either in doctrine or practice; and that, virtually, the whole company assembled were of one mind. The fruit of this concord is visible in the plan which confides to the Empress and Prince Napoleon the political guidance of the Prince Imperial; and, as a consequence, the governance of the whole party. Whatever course it may be deemed fitting to pursue will be initiated and directed by them. But no manifestation of principles, no display of promises, no line of action is shadowed forth. Reticence, in this respect, is pushed so far that the young Prince will not even take up the title of Napoleon IV. He will fol- low in the footsteps of his father, and bear his name. This decision is in harmony with that Napoleonic prin- ciple which professes to derive the right of sovereignty from the popular voice. The death of Napoleon III. has not made any material change in the conditions of the pro- blem. A chief actor has departed-a successor has taken his place. Like Legitimists and Orleanists, the Bonapartes abate not one jot of their claims. The empire is still an active competitor in the lists. The recent determinations adopted at Chislehurst shew, indeed, that, like the other suitors to the French people, the Bonapartist leaders think it expedient to ride a waiting race. They see that actual circumstances are unfavourable their dead chief taught them the wisdom of patient endurance and they hold back prepared to take advantage of the first oppor- tunity. The Republicans are in possession the Comte de Chambord stands fast on hereditary right; the Comte de Paris says he is prepared should he be summoned the Imperialists, full of faith, wait upon events. No sensible observer who bears historical lessons in mind, will venture on prophecy. We must be content to watch the efforts of all, and not least of that party whose wise maxim, as we record it, is de la force et pas d'impatience. JUSTICE AND THE WORKING CLASSES. The Leeds Congress, says the Pall Mall Gazette, demand a reconstruction of the jury system based upon the prin- ciple of the admission of the working classes to the discharge of the duties of jurymen. But if once it is admitted that a. jury must be specially constructed in order to ensure impartiality, its value as a rough but ready means of securing justice in criminal trials disappears. There will be the constant scandal of juries discharged because they find it impossi- ble to agree, and of the results of trials predicted as soon as the composition of the jury I. known. We are as anxious as any one can be to secure to every workman charged with the commission of a trade offence a thoroughly fair trial. But we are not prepared to reproduce in England the kind of spectacle which was not long ago so common in Ireland in the trial of agrarian outrages. On the whole, the best present means of dealing with all these questions seems to be that which the Trades Congress suggest for dealing with one of them—the appoint- ment of a Royal Commission to inquire into the position of the working classes before the law as regards their subjection to special Acts of Parliament, their exposure to unequal punishments, and.their inability to obtain fair trials. These three heads comprehend all the points raised. by the discussion at Leeds, and they are all very fit subjects for an impertial and exhaus- tive investigation. If the Commission were carefully con- structed and not made too large,i ts labours need not be very prolonged, and the result of them would be seen in the re- duction to a rational shape of a very important part of the Jaw. Nothing can be more injurious to the stability^ of English institutions than the existence of a general feeling on the part of any section of the community that: justice is denied them. Whether that feeling bo well-founded or ill-founded matters little—quite sufficient mischief is generated by the fact that it exists. That it does exist among the working classes no reasonable person "Who reads the proceedings of the Trades Congress at Leede am by possibility doubt.

MONEY MARKET.—WEDNESDAY. The Markets for Public Securities aie flatter, but the the reaction is unimportant. Some of the Railway Stocks, including Caledonian, Brighton, London, Chat- ham, and Dover, Metropolitan, Metropolitan District, North British, and Sheffield have receded k to per cent., while a further slight rise has occurred in Great Eastern. Foreign Bonds have been very little dealt in, but Egyptian of 1868 and Turkish of 1869 and 1871 have advanced to a moderate extent. French Scrip, however, has receded 1-16 on realisations. Erie Rail- way Shares continue in request, and have experienced a fresh rise of 7s. 6d. The Imperial Credit Company recommend a divi- dend of 4s. 6d. per share, being at the rate of 6 per cent., out of an available balance of £ 14,970. At a meeting of the Alabama and Cbatanooga bond- holders, it was 'resolved -that a committee should be appointed to act in conjunction with the Foreign Bond- holders' Association, in the interests of the bond- holders. The Home and Colonial Marine Insurance recom- mend a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent.

A POLITICAL BRIGAND. Grow.t Interest is centred in the proceedings of t'h. Assises Court of Salerno, in consequence of the trial of the famous brigand Tardio. Tardio protested for some time against being called a brigand, as he declared that he undertook neither more nor less than the conquest of tho kingdom for Francis the Second. Previous to his enter- ing on his brigand career, this notable man Was aa attorney and studied law at Salerno. In 1860 he went te Boms, where he was supplied with means by the Papal Govern- ment and the Bourbon Committee. He sallied forth with several followers into the Neapolitan lands, where he sacked the public treasures in the name of Francis. In 1863 he agaii* visited Rome, where he remained until 1870, and was then' imprisoned. Tardio has drawn up a defence of his con duct, which is a very curious document. It sets forth the right of the Bourbons to reign in Sicily, and declares that he has only csrriod out his political principles in further- ing the cause of Francis. He, therefore, claims the cha- racter of belligerent, with the privileges it affords, and maintains that throughout his military and political careei he has always scrupulously observed the rules of nations regarding the laws of war.

SPAIN AND AMERICA. The New York papers just received publish the sub- stance of that letter from Secretary Fish to General Sickles which has caused so much commotion at Madrid, and whose existence has been positively denied there. While the United States fully acknowledges its obligation to the general rule which requires a nation to abstain from interference in the domestic concerns of others, circum- stances warrant partial exceptions to this rule, to the sup- port of which the Secretary enters into an agreement and says that all who countenance lukewarmness or neglect in carrying emancipation into effect must more or less be liable to the charge of duplicity or bad faith, a charge which every man of honour in high station ought to en- deavour to avoid. General Sickles is instructed, in decisive, but respectful terms, to remon- strate against the apparent failure of Spain to carry into effect the Emancipation Act to which she is committed. If Spain permits her authority to be virtually and practically defied in Cuba by a refusal or neglect to carry into effect acts of the home Government of a humane tendency, it is tantamount to an acknowledg- ment of inability to control the insurrection in Cuba. Mr. Fish says, It has now lasted four years. Attempts to suppress it, so far futile, have been made, probably at a sacrifice of more than a hundred thousand lives and an in- calculable amount of property. Our commercial and other connections'with that island compel us to take a warm interest in its peaceful and orderly condition, with- out which there cannot be prosp.iity. Cuba being separ- ated from this country by a nrro.; e, the temp- tations for reckless adventurers hCL(, to violate our law, and embark in hostile expeditions thither, is great." Further on he says "We certainly have reason to ex- pect that the great strain upon our watchfulness to thwart those schemes, occasioned by the long duration of hostili- ties in Cuba, should have some termination through a ces- sation of the cause which hitherto has been supposed to make it necessary for the discharge of our duties as a neu- tral. Ever since the insurrection began we have," he says, "repeatedly been called upon to discharge those duties. In the performance of them we are conscious of no neglect; but the trial to our impartiality by the want of success on the part of Spain in suppressing the revolt is neces- sarily so severe that unless she shall soon be more success- ful, it will force upon this Government the conside- ration of the question whether dutyto itself and to the commercial interests of its citizens may not demand some change in the line of action it has thus far pursued." He desires the American representative to make the Spanish Government understand that we are in earnest in the expression of these views, and that we expect redress, and that, if it should not soon be afforded, SpMn must not be surprised to find, as the inevitable result of the delay, a marked change in the feeling and in the temper of the people and of the Government of the United States." The Washington correspondent of the New Yorlc Times, writing on January 10th, says:—" The reply of the Spanish Government to the note of Mr. Fish has been exceedingly courteous and amicable, and gives assurance that the friendly relations heretofore existing between Spain and the United States shall not be interrupted by any act of the former Government. The party now in control of the Government in Spain believes itself strong enough to pursue the policy of eman- cipation, and this Government lias been assured that it will use every effort to that end. A complete enforcement of that policy in the Island of C'uba has been promised, as fast as the pacification nf its condition will permit. There is, nevertheless, a powerful opposition to the Spanish Minis- try, and in it are several strong men who have heretofore been leading Abolitionists. Hence its cautious action. One practical result of our remonstrance is that positive orders have been given for tho restoration of one of the estates seized by the Cuban authorities. These orders left Cadiz last week, and are due m Cuba about the 15th. The correspondence since November 1st has been quite vigorous, and largely by telegraph, but, beyond what s indicated above, has not yet produced any decisive results. After this it is a little sihgular tnat the Spanish Prime Minister should have positively denied the reception of any communication of the kind from the United States. The New York press write strongly against the prolongation of the state of affairs in Cuba. °
