The meet competent obeervers concur in thinking that Mr. Denison would not be popular in the chair. Ilia habitual tone is not suited for the position. His age, also, seems a greet dinaslißeatrim. Can it be expected that • gentleman in his fifty-eighth year may Souk forward tom long a tenure of office as to entitle him in point of justice, to ties honours of a peerage ? The claims of Mr. Walpole to the chair, on the other hand, are certainly manly superior to those of Mr. Denison. Eminent at the bar, distinguished in debate, • praeticid judge of the exact limits of controveroy, inheriting an old parliamentary name,and representing the University of Cam bridge, the public claims of Mr. Walpole are inuneassar•bly beyond the pretensions of Mr. Denison. The pensinal aptitude of Mr. Walpole is, also, of a far higher kind. His suave demeanour, his courtesy, and ingratiating manners are sekoowledged and admired even by his political opponent+. The high forensic eminence of Mr. Walpole would impart additional force to his judicial decisions; and those against whom they sight prove adverse would serenely acquksee is We realty; epos disputed amen which might be maned either way. Mr. Weipole has lemepie, legal experience, tried in tellectual powers, and great technical knowledge.

Mr. Roebuck represents a section that may number eight. He represents a party of radicals who chafe at the perpetual leadership of men of familF, and who have a Axed idea that all men who had gran df a thers must be aristocratic and used up. In this section, to swell it up to eight, we most count the pesos party, not yet extinct--for we have Mr. Henry NSW (is it th e pilgrim who reins indeed his own heed weeding to the old swaps llft pleasant penitential travelliag, went to Peterdwas to tell Hleholas not to be naughty 1), and Mr. Charles Gilpin, who with true English spirit anti cipated (in • pamphlet published et his shop and ease read by Palmerston to a laughing home) bow the, peat French would be dace again when, greatly to their Ample, we should !arum to receive the corapemation they mead remorsefully offer after having battered down ov r ummaisting cities. Putting Ituagollitee, pure whige, ',Ai ello, peace men, and Sir Junes Graham altogether m a 'nand off rebel. in the liberal camp we cannot count them as more dim twenty, leaving laud Palmerston • faithful farming of 103—more than a majority of the whole house. The masematives, roughly ;peaking, number 262; but there aro serious diviaitiee even in this shattered army. Firstly, there are at the very least forty of the party who have pledged themselves not to offer • geared opposition to Lord Palmerston. Among thaw may bs tountet Mr. Mdes, Mr. Milne. Haskell, Lord Blandford„ and other moderate eon smrstive• Some d theme men have area formally ' seceded teen the party (Lord Blandford, iw instance, who in 1.452 fought mu fiercely at Middlesex against Bernal Osborne, sow reeneni circulars from Mr. Heyter and not from Si Williva JoUiffc). Then there are about 20 con servatives who me separatkd from the party, not that they love roommates' kw, bet that they dislike Disraeli more. They are sepesented by Mr. Bentinck, who led the weeniea in the late parliament, and by auch men ae Mr. Kendall, of But Cornwall. Then there we some of the party who are too liberal to act with Mr. Dimwit in maintaining an detractive conservatism This, giving to Mr, Diareeli the mat calling then ed.& coneerva lives whit have not openly eroded from the party is w oppo eitioa, we Ind that his followers number 200. Were Lord Palmerston to propose .came extremely liberal extension of the freachise, or some very owerping reform of the church, Mr. Berea might lead into the lobby the 262 nommal ma servalivea, but not otherwise; but even in that ease the ganglion would be carried by the liberals by a majority of 100. Lord Palmerston has thus a majority nip', if not superior, to Peel's majority of 91, in 1141. But the majority is for Led l'alimeraton as • Liberal minister. :f he again oppose -itillestnte of reform, he will (at lend miter this year) find himself forced to connect his thirty or Ala ty odkial follower. with the cm:narratives, and even then he will be beaten. He cannot again enact the division on Leek. King's motion. The present parlianient is more decidedly liberal than the last. Take theballet, for instance; it is the opinion of men not sanguine as to those natters, that there is an actual majority in the house for the ballot. Wo do not think se; our own calculations of the members returned do yob bear out this result. But the ballot rosy nevertheletot obtain majorities, for while its supporters are pledged to support it, there is no party pledged to Oppose it. To oppose the ballot is nut even a sine 'nu nolo of eonservatisni, although objections to the ballot dwell in many honourable minds on both mides ut the house. It is raid by political calculator. that, if Lord l'al menden adopt en obstructive conservatism on the question of church•rates or the ballot, he will be defeated in Ibis house, which his supporters fondly call his own, by at least a majo rity of forty. THE SEWS FROM CHINA. (From the Timm.) What may have happened during the two months which hero ei•ee elapsed who can toll t It is evident that the Chinese who have petered out of their own country over all th e mulementa of Mow regimes, who are to be found in midland. In Singapore, Borneo, Penang, and Ma/acea,WhO may Le numbered by tens of thousands in our Australian colonies, are by this time thoroughly roused into a war of ex termination against us. foie n, tire, and the knife me pre pared for we by thousands of barbarian fanatim; and any ' day we may learn the destruction of our meet flourishing aettleocente, with the slaughter of every man, woman, and child of European blood. How deep has been the plot, how terrible the danger, we may now perceive. It in often surprieing to find how complete is the communication among barbarous races, and how strong the common instinct which governs them. In this .1.0 the fact is strongly exemplified. In places remote from each other there is evidently the same spirit of hatred and the same treachery and cruelty in the gratification of it. Yeh was right in saying that be acted in accorelenee with the demands of the popu lace. It ie plain that for a long time there has been growing up among the Chinese a feeling of hostility which baa been encouraged by our own lamaes toleration of insult. The opinion of all persons connected with China, that vigorous immures were armoury in the late dispute, has been principally founded on a knowledge that this ran corous spirit existed among the Chinese, coupled with • belief that it could be displayed with impunity. . - . Things have now come to a crisis, and nothing is left but li to punish the outrages of this faithless moo by the use ' of the whole strength of the empire. We must recognise the present as no " little wsr," for we are fighting three hundwil millions of people distributed over the half of halo, and abetted by multitudes in some of the most important dependencies of the empire. Happily, the news of the peace with Persia seems to have arrived at Busbim, and there an no accounts of farther hostilities.. Ae soon, them, aa the rati fication is completed the force under Sir James Outruns might at once be shipped for Chinn, where it would arrive king before the troopa from Portsmouth could complete their voyage. At the preent time it only takes ten days by telegraph to communicate with Enable., so that the order might be received and acted en almost immediately. As to the mutiny in India, which looked so alarming, we trust it say he considered at an end, for the moat unruly regiment his been disbanded without bloodshed. With the war in Penis concluded, India tranquil, Europe at peace, end our snenala and ports choked with warlike stoma and ships, them is every facility for carrying through the Chinese wee with promptitude and success. Vigour in the com mission 'Ed e&ntive support from home are, however, needs& embus we would see the prosperity, mid even the ex istence, at as Asiatic Empire seriously endengered. Tug BLACKBURN MECHANICM' INNTITUTION.— On Thursday evening the annual soirns of the members and friends of the Blackburn Mechanics' Institution was held in the large room of the Town-hall. The room was well filled, and Sir R. Peel, Bart., occupied the chair. Amongst those upon the platform were Mr. J. Plikingion, H.P., Mr. W. H. Hamby, M.P., Mr. W. Pilkington, the Mayor, Mr. Jonathan Peel, Mr. J. Fielden, Mr. J. C. Ainswertk, de. About SOO eat downto tea. Sir It. Peel, on rising, was loudly cheered. He saki that although, comparativt4y speaking, he wm a= in that town, yet he believed that he bore a name to them sea household word. (Appian...) He telt grate ful for the kind reception they had given him; bat whilst be Wad there in that mardacest edifice, he could not refrain from reflecting that the time was when emerging from a back street in this very town hie pride...ors set =enterprising example to the whole trade of this district. (Loud applause.) And that whilst on the one hand the acknowledgments of a grateful nation had done . ..tice to the patriotism and enlightened policy . of his Cap. plaww)—on the other band persever ing industry and sue oeoeful enterprise in trade had through another channel irre vocably an/mind hi. name to that town and district. He should be ungrateful if he did not feel some interest, and a warm interest, in the main) of the industrial dames of Blackburn. (Applause.) The meeting was afterwards ad drafted by several other gcntlomen; and Mier the badness proceedings were over, the none was clewed for dancing, which was entered into with murk spirit, and continued un til an early hour on Friday morning. The Sot Fir Robert Peed was born in Fish-lane, Blackburn, and before Sir Itobert left the room he was presented with a kilograph of the humble residence of his ancestor. OXFORD WORKING MEN'S EDUCATIONAL INSTI- Tcsion.—The Rev. J. W. Bergen, M.A., Fellow of Oriel Collage, has announced his intention of giving readings in the hook of Genet& in the committee-room of the Town-hall, Oxfoal, on Sunday next and the following Btandays throughout the term, at 6 o'clock. The clans is open to an who chrom to attend it. Mr. Barges ie a genneman of eon- Mderabk literary attrinments and well qua Med to make his subject eseerningly interesting. Mr. Dorgan in 1845 ob tained the Newdegate prize (verse) entitled Petra." In 1647 he chained Dr. Ellerton's prize for the hest English essay on the importance of translation of the Holy Scrip ture.; and in 1851 wee the successful competitor for Mrs. Denyces theological prize "On the necessity of the two sacrament,. retained in the church of England and that they only are secerrary to be retained " TRAININO REFUGE FOR DEATITCTE GlRLB.—Yee terdny the friends and supportem of this institution held their seventh annual meeting at the establishment in Lioson street ; Mr. W. J. Maxwell in the chair. The object of the institution is to provide r home for destitute girls, where they receive education and training in come useful business, till employment is found for them. It appeared from the report that there were 33 girls in the institution at th e ern , mememeat of the yea; admitted during the year, 29; left for service, 15 ; transferred to another refuge, 1; returned to their friends, 10 ; in horpital, 1; died, 1 ; leaving 34 in the horpital at the close of the year. 184 were admitted since the opening of the institution. The girl. who went to over vim from the Refuge paid back out of their wages 11/. 16a., on account of the outfit with which they were supplied on fearing; 6L 17 a , eg, realised by bonnet-maktrig, and 16/. Ks. 104. by needlework daring the year. The institution remived 1671. as a government meat, which severed about one-fourth of the expenses. The Ito:manta showed a balance in fax' tir of the Refuge to the amount of 145/. 10s. The meeti ng wee addressed ley Mr. Oliphant, Mr. Mm gzegor, Rev. Mr. Patch. and others, who strongly nixed the claims of the Mstittifion on the attention of the charitable. I'OLITIC..4L GOSSIP. Ili , . Royal Ilightiess the General Commanding•in- Ch;e(wlll hold a levee at one o'tlock on Tuesday Inst. Mr. G. Romaine, late deputy , judge advocate to the Forces in the East, and who recently unsuceeesfully eontested the borough of Chatham, has been appointed Second Secretary to the Admiralty, vice Phinn. It is rumoured in professional circles that the appointment of Commander-in-Chief at Devonport, in sue million to Admired Sir William Parker, baa been offered to Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier. The United Service Gazette states that Captain the Hoe. J. R. Drummond, C 8., has been appointed private secretary to Sir Charles Wood, First Lad of the Admirslty, in the rooms of Mr. T. G. Baring, M.P.{ resigned. Aire ( United Serciee Gazette) are happy to an noun,e that a very important step has been taken toward@ the promotion of education in the army. A "Board of Edu cation" has been formed, at the bead of which im the Com mander-in-Chid (nt-ojirio), with Major General Cameron, 42u.1, for site president, and Colonels Portlock, R.E., and Addison, Asnivtant Quartermaster General, for members. Everything in relation to the suital.le preparation of Akers fur Brat communions and later advancement will be under _ _ the government of thin board. Tho examinations will no longer be conducted at Sandhurst, but by competent pro femurs, holding their appointments temporarily, an recom mended by the CVIOIIIII,IIIOdCIII who lately returned from the Continent. On Thuraday last, a public dinner was given in Highworth to Charles J. Monk, Eati., the late liberal can didate fur the borough and hundreds of Cricklads. " It will intermit numbers of our readers," says the Leicester Mercesry, "to learn that, at a meeting of the ladies' committee, held In the mayor's parlour, last Monday afternoon, it was reported that the ladies had received 7,000 signatures from the women of Iscieeeter to the sddrers to Sir Joshua Walnisley, and that the subscription to the testimo nial exceeds 1241. It was unanimously resolved that the tee timonial should consist of a silver centrepiece. The other sddmsa from the electors end non-electors still lice at our race fur signature." Sir William Russell, Bart., M.l'., has paid a visit to his constituents during the past week. The honoiusble bexonet left on Thursday evening for Charlton Park, Glou cestershire. We (Darr Chroroirk) hear it is likely that Sir William end Mr. Bernal Osborne will both be present at the entertainment about to be given in celebration of the progress of the tunnel now making under the Heights fur the Eat Kent Railway, at which Lord Sondes and the directors will be pre.. rd. " On account of his personal character," says the Siwelafw," there ban been the strongest disposition not to premn hard upon the present Lord Chancellor; even in Lord Pareersion'e government, however, there are individuals who have not concealed their own impression ; end if the Premier will make inquiriee among some of his most eclair , Mg supporters, who ere not in the law, and ere not in the government, but are in the House of Commerce, he will find no expectation that law reform will be restored to the progress which it enjoyed even under Lord Derby's government, until the work shall have been placed in hands more congenial to it than those of the respectable judge new upon the woolsack. This would be done without offence, and most appropriately, by appointing a Minister of Justice. That would be • key to the whole range of the subject ; end the minister who adopted that measure would in the single art surpass the last government which stands foremost in the mord' of law-amendment—the government of Lord Derby " The Press says that some singular circumstances owe their origin to General Ashburnharn's recent appoint ment. "Just previous to the Dissolution one of the most severely-contested elections occurred in a southern county. The powerful influence of • relative of the gallant General was upon that ocassion given to the Conservative candidate. Meanwhile arose the China debate, and then came, rapidly following the vote, the Dissolution and • Chinese war. A secondthe influenceeenles ta.a...ceurria as tihne honourthe amo of county, sod General this limo relative was thrown into the opposite scale, end the ministe rial candidate as warmly supported as he hod bean previ ously opposed. General Ashburnlism had been appointed to the command in China." The Record by no means regrets Sir John Dod son's decision in the owe of Archdeacon Denison. On the contrary, "We ere glad of it, becsua all the trouble and expense of long pleadings in the Court of Arches are thus saved, and the case is carried up et once to the Court of Final Appeal—namely, the Crown, as represented by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. That the decision of the Court of Arctic* will be there rearmed there can be little doubt." The John Bull imagines that among the altera tions which will be proposed by certain of Lord Palmerston's school of theology in the Common Prayer Book, some ex tenaive change will be deemed essential in the merrier for the consecration of a bishop. Inatead of the words "this well-learned man," it will bo thought sdviaable to substitute "this ready and fluent speaker ; " a bishop now-a-days is not to be a teacher of his clergy, but may be a person who requires teaching himself, " as in the case of one of Lord Palmerston's prelates, who is obliged to have recourse to • juvenile tutor to place him on an equality in point of learn ing with the clergy under his control." The new number of the Quarterly undertakes to expound the Palmerston idea. The Premier, it says, is • traitor to the cause of reform ; he governs by trickery sad manoeuvre ; he tallm of progressive improvement in language which, coming from tory lips, would bo pronounced icy; his promises of progress would not have alarmed Lard Eldon. Tbe Quarterly points to Lord John Russell se the trite leader;hherd it LI respectful to the Manchester party; but it wane the country against a minister who treats political independence as parliamentary mutiny, and reform, to use the words of Mr. Lowe, ea "an electoral cry." The Lancet says that the profession must not de ceive itself in the matter of medical barenetcies and knight hoods. They are not compliments to the profession. They are not given to reward Stair service, nor to mark the value attached to science and scientific men. They Ws simply personal; and they are entirely reserved for the Court Phy sician or Court Surgeon. Until there are medical peers, me dicine—the Lancet contends--has not achieved its proper social petition. _ . . . . Shipping, observes the Economist, being that branch of satiety which partakes most of progress every where, will probably now continue to increase more rapidly than any other portion of society, and to melds tegulations for what is Do rapidly growing is prematurely to stop its growth. The regulations and restrictions of the Merchant Elearnan's Act will do for it, if continued, what regulations and restrictions have done for the population of Fresco— dwarf and enfeeble, if they do not kill it. " The gentlemen who are now agitating against the Merchant Seaman's Act should rather assail its principle than its details. They feel the operation of these, however, and go for a little change now, which will compel them to go hereafter for still greater changes." HerapatA argues that the chief destroyer of good dividends, so far as parliament ie concerned, bAa been the permission of duplicate and competing lines of railway to those already made. " Without apparently any considers lion for the expenditure which parliament had sanctioned, or the apparent solicitude with which it inquired into the line'. prospeeta of paying a fair dividend, it granted a second line to cut the throat of the first. It ignored altogether its own affected solicitude that the capital should not be unprofitably expended, end in some cases before the line granted had proved ressemerstive, a new one bad been authorised to take away the little profit that it had. Is this justice in parlia ment? Is it aat, in fact, a mockery and violation of justice, a wanton robbery af those wbo had embarked their money on the faith of parthisseatary protection ? " The Saturday Review remarks that the increasing strength of the phalanx of director-legislators deserves im portance from the contemporaneous decline of so many other once powerful sections of the house. The West India in terest was once able to make a stout fight against the philan thropic party which at last triumphed over it, and it has utterly disappeared. The nabob clique used to be important enough to make it worth the while of a minister to listen to their advice, and humour their caprices. Net: there are wavily half-a-dozen men in the house who owe their position to the rupees, or th e e xperience which they have accumulated in our E i m ern empire. ipven the great company itself has failed to maim the return of ire chairman, who has so well and so steadily fought its battles through right and wrong, and hoe so often defeated the attacks of discontented pro prietors and philene2ropic enthusiasts. In short, with the exception of the lawy ere, railway directors form the only section of the House whici. possesses a bond of union distinct from the ordinary political dieleiono of the country. Even the lawyers in parliament can seercely be looked upon so a class interest, for "some of them are returned merely so the apokeamon of other sectional puties and the large otekailp enter the house to fight each for his wen bend, end to use lelitical porition as a IMAM of edvenring their indirid na g prof..ional Weida," The Irrekly Dig/Hitch aaya that the real offence of the Manehester webfoot, in the eyes of the people, ht that et anti-nationablon.
