DISRAELI ON MILLE

RATIONALE OF PUBLIC REWARDS. The Prime Minister has only 1,2807. a year

rature, and science; and thie nu has to dianthute | among “insumerable" claiments-as Sir Robert Peel expressed himself not long ago. Velour is rewarded on a far mere munificent scale Peera ges-bereditary peerages, with 3,000£ oz 2,000/ » year for three generations-have just been won by military services. Eminence in the law is still more munificently rewarded; witness the slamming

Mr Distachi's appearances in the Carb-leo de' wances each far surpassing in amount the total of bates are the ideal of part presumption. A costro the sims annually deled out to the library poncersy which has asked the costinoons eftprts of stoners. On what principle is this distinction made? Why is bravery, the most common of virtues, and legal skill, but the loftiest of intellectual gifts or acquirements, rated at so high a price; white those who with Herschel reveal the mechanism of the heavens, or with Dalton teach us how matter is organized, or with Wordsworth inform the mind with elevating and refining thoughts, or with Lan- Enster and Wilderspin carry educulim into the hovel, are, if remunerated at all, pensioned off on the scale of a merchant's clerk ?

The fault is not in any individual Minister, nor in the British Government generally. Wah per- haps the exception of Lord Melbourne-end his Lordship's boutade on this head, like a similar un lucky expression about the Corn-laws, may be fairly allowed to express more then he mand! - English Ministers have, as a body, been ready enough to recognize the claims of intellectual emi nence. They have done indirectly, on many ne casions, what the public temper dides encourage their doing directly. It was in this way that New- ion came to be placed in the Mint and Locke at the

i Board of Trade. It is in this way that appoint meule in Government offices have been sometimes, of late, conferred upon the sons of literary men. The unequal monoy value attached to literary greatness and to the services of heroes of the bor

and camp, if fault it be, is the fault of the people,

rather than of the Government:

ere more tangible, moro sus. Practical services are ceptible of being estimated in pounds, spillings, and peace. – All men can say, this soldier caved such.

The most acute and comptebenesqu intellects for years, is on the eve of being decided by the vote of an assembly which contaist-along with a fale si mixture of blockheads, it must be conlessed-a greater number of shrewd experienced men of Ba mess than sing assembly in the world, and Mr herseli, whose mind fill within these few works has been a perfect sheet of blink ence to the subject, is reading ag with a view to take a part in the discussion. With womenang kabout he is piling up a long speech, full of all the crede tmisconceptions and hallknowledge, the lover itabio fruits of a hasty perusal of elementary books ni z science the technical language of which is new t him, while the enormece, widely ramified and every varying operations to whicg it relates, are perfectly unfamiliar. He contemplates interrupting the pro- greas of a discussion upon with the wellbeing of The coumry depends, and on which the can ta nation hang with impatient zaxiety, to exhibit hun. selfia ao absurd poskion-noi esen amusing, as his bufinon quacks upon the Premier sometimes dre.

The use which, on Monday creaing, Air Disraeli attempted to make of Mr Jcha Mill's Esses on some Unscited Questions of Puatical EconoORE, IS a sample of the great speech was which he gave the House to understand he is in labor Mr Mill, he said, arrived at the conclusion that hostile tar ifs must be met with hostile ardio-Vast incremen
