LONDON, June 83.—Tho Pall Mall Gazette in a long pessimistic leador on tho jubilee, its effects and its lessons, waxes indignant over the absurdity of continuing the rigidity of royal otiquetto and observing the pretentious forms of a century ago in the faco of tho rising tide of democracy and the fact that tho conditions which generations ago made those thing* seem necessary or desirable have passed away, happily never to return. The functions of tho throno, The Gazetjo eontends, are positively farcical, and the spectaclo of millions of Englishmen howling themr selves boarso over tho completion of tho fiftieth year of the reign of a sovereign who does not rule, but is ruled, nauseating.

Tho house of commons, too, is in a sickening condition of coHapso through similar causes, and the Tory government themselves, tho exponents of the divinity of sovereigns and tho exaltation of ysolcss formality and display over the sober simplicity demandod by the present state of things, have dono more within the last three months to pull tho walls down upon their own hoads than tho machinery of progress has accomplished within the last fivo years in bringing Euglaud to a realization of tho necessity for a change. With all tho enthusiasm, real and simulated, which prevailed throughout Great Britain Tuesday, The Gazette has no doubt that a general election held to-morrow would show that the electors are by a large majority in favor of so reconstructing the government as to mako n repetition of such scenes impossible. More and more the people are coming to believe that Demos is king and the day is not far distant when he will be enthroned.
