To the Editor of the Herald.
Sin, —I very hastily read your brief report of to-day conccrning English public affairs, and with some degree of pleasure. Some points of the caso —I refer to the Parliamentary matter —are most certainly very closely bordering on the laughable. I did laugh; but, moßt unfortunately, laughed all alone. " How Jaughable "! Gladstone thrico resigned and thrice returned on tho Bame —the one—the very identical question,—tho common schooling question. Unprecedented! wholly! The seemingly ludicrous point, sir, I submit, is jußt exactly here now, —Tory leader was sent for again and again ; —why, alas, alas, on the particular crucial matter, he, undeniably, is a few degrees (perhaps nearly fifty) worse than nowhero ; —worse and worse ! This we foresaw. The pleasantry point is the very latest upshot: Gladstone was judged one notch too Tory. Against the great body of British Catholics 011 oneeide.and the far greater body of British Congregational Independents on the other, and these, especially, combined, why, my dour sir, I am pretty certain that pulpit, parson, Beldam, will not' —never again— iind so much as a half-leg to Bland on. Seemingly, some do really fear that every man will soon have to pay for his own religion, if he have any, or, tiy, ay, if he elect to ha; o any.— I am, Ax., i W. E. Sadleb. I May 19, 1873.
