THR EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 18541. ant that b• sus they were never given te (Laughter) It wee quite natural that meek should be the sate. The low-born or the intent might poems them; but those distinctimis we.. the teat of political power ' rank, end position. Submission to wealth and Teak was the healing sin of this country. It would not, however, be always se. Toe world wee advancing, and they "sista look forward to the dey when their merit, their Intellectual guilds., would be more valued. The day would come when the Howie of Lords might find the acquisition of each qsali•ies of impottence to them. He knew what would be thought if Maeselay, whose pages would live for ever, or the gallant hero wheat he had the honour of meet ing at dinner Nat night, were to be made hereditary peers. The creation of life peerages wee • valuable t h oagh du gout ;mica's', of which the crown ought not to be de prived Her Majesty was younger than many of them, and miebt live to He great new for refreshing the Hoses of Lords in this way, but whether good or bad, the prero native should not be gut rid of by a gide-wind. ( Hear , ear.) Some contended shut the bill had sot this defect , but the ealatenos of the doubt wu a nano for re tention it to a ester committee. He neat came to the plunder of the public purse, Ur each he would call it. He had received a letter from • most learned judge, who stated that they could not have • good sort of appeal if the judges were to situ judges of appeal only —(hear, hear)—it was absolutely unwary that • jades should be daily convermat with the practice of the courts. Another objection to the bill wu, it would tend to corrupt alllthe pains jetties. (Heir.) It held out precisely the golden bait at which those learned reruns were likely to bite. In adesneed years easy work with high position, like that of the deputy speakere, was an ',eject to all men. The bill would demorelise the bench. (Hear. hear.) The legio lature was boned to elevate the tone of public opinion —to set an exempt* of truth, and not to perpetuate such a mon strous sham as this bill. If the court ever eat, they ought to Inscribe In 6 Attie letters over the door • firm monosylleble to which he would not allude. (L.intiter.) It was a sham to call it a House of Lords ; it was an attempt to impose on the public rather than to face the great question whether lb* appellate jariediction should remain. The Solicitor-General told them, indeed, it wculd be the House of Lord., and laid it down with an asuiriptioa sad assertion which made him (Mc. R. Currie) understand the late Dr. Arnold styieg "that he would rather see his son starve than edue 4, him for the profession of the law." (Lauebter ) Be (Mr R. Carrie) did not mean to libel the noble sad generous pro feseiou—(loud lang`iter)—but they hid seen the very parti cular effect it had produced on a entela mind. They had plenty of assumption and assertion that It was the House of Lords—it would be the House of Lords—and it should be the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) It reminded him of Ltd Petri gamer to the men who had the audacity to deny that the joist was • leg of mutton. "My good sir, and all I eau say is, that to eyes, touch, taste, it is nothing bat • crust of bread." The sec mid says, "I never saw a leg of mutton so like a crest." "Confound you both," says Lord Peter, "for a pit of blunderering, ignorant, positive fools; by jingo, it is as good • leg of mutton as ever I saw, aed God ounfoaad you both 'tenuity if you do not believe It." (Laughter.) The new court would no more be the House of Lords than the three sleeks at the table would be the House of Commons if they were to empower them to sit there daring the rem. for certain purposes. He celled cm the hues not to sanction by eel of parliament this daring 'lndira os if the prerogative, not to lend their assistanos toe downright falsehood and a barefased robbery, not to organise this machinery for the corrupt ors of the judges, which must throw distrust on the beach ; net deliberately to Lemmata a solemn sham. Let them refer the bill to a molest committee, and after that bury is oblivion this miserable aineure, and at the commencement of esothar Mahn the House of C.insione would apply itself with dignity end caimans to the gravest question which could °realty the great e inneil of the people, vie., which was the but court of appeal, final and in the last neon, to deter mine on the right., properties, and liberties of each belt vidnal. He should reject with non this claim ton premnigo tln j mei/diction. The appellatejariedietion of the Henna OE Inns tires no ancient doh, bat a keen. of yesterday, as ephemeral usurpatioe. He begged to move that the bill be referred to a wine erunnittee. Mr. E. DENISON rose to sewed the madmen; ho mould not, however attempt to rival the dramatic performance of his ho.. friend. Harem had bees made to • &impedes. ; Is penal this fact of a emptier was so objection with am; S. was opposed to violent Ilea , and is diesels tauten that a masers woe a compromise was • reerawindetiou rather Ma otherwise.

He had to runt (and the ea onmetaaco mould be a pledge that he would not detain the home bug) that, owing to Indisposition, he had not heard several speothee whisk had been made sagest the bill ; bat he had beard several speeches of minus men in favour of the bill, sad, as an opponent of the bill, if he had had say doubt about his opinion, he should have been eatisflad of Its correctnest from these nay speeshoe. The speech of his hon. tad learned friend the Attorney. General, with which he introduced the bill, anticipated all the objections that might be urged against It, but it did not sstieipot• the force of any our of those objections. He did sot eater into a Weigle statement of feet to show test say one of them was either unfounded or maggerated, but to all of them be replied by stating that the we. nothing OW whatever that parliament could do, and therefore they had no other option bat to pass this hill. He (iir. Gladstone) towline, was bound to say he did sot think the Hones of Commons were redacted to such a sorry pus that, when a question of this kind was presented to Vona touching the most dab:telt question with respect to the prerogative of the op:own, and likewise involving the meet important topics regarding the administration of justice, theybad no choice bat to peas the bill. Ho did not believe that when such • que". tios was presented to them at a time when the Appropria tion Bill had begun to rue its rapid seem through the hum, that every neon must be throws aside, every authority silenced, every argument disregarded, and every ablution met by the simple statement that the present sea dition of things was inevitehle, and they had no alteenative but to accept what was offend to them. Those who res. soloed thus paid a very bad compliment to the Haase of Lords. (Hear, bear) What nod the hon. and learned member for Wallingford ? He had not thought it beneath him to mks a candid statement of his views ; but he could not be surprised if thou who were refused further inquiry iato this matter, took whet they thought to be • just adveatage of the statements Made by him. Well the hon. and learned member maid he never had to mash difficulty in tasking up his mind ; he described the @aguish or,bls breast, oceasiosed by the vote he wee about to give, bat he (Mr. Gladstone) mold limn him that if M would simply alter the direction of that vote, which he might do with • most perfect conscience, as all the tegument' were against the bill, he would find those disagreeable feelings vanish ; he would et nee pass to a state of ease and tem quilUty,and might net snared with the perfect C0G1Ci02124212 Mat he had done a real 'invite to his country. (' Hear, bur," and • laugh.

(Hear, hear.)

Bet It was said all former legislation epos a great quattoe bad been a compromiser, sad that this bill wee only • somprombe ; but it WU a 11011710 Wile very diferest in character to the compromises of Mo. These were the reepeetable compromises of mind, the eoeaeiestious ecespromiese of men after fall isvestiptioa and fall &abbe ratioa—thm were compromises that cumsaaded the on idea.e of every party; bet here the c impronsise left every body in doubt, and if they petted the bill without more inquiry, it weeld be little bettor then ea abdication of the duties and funetious of the house. (Hear, hear.) It was not avrissary for him to go over all the objection that bad been urged agathst the bill ; bet there was one point which he must venture to mall Mattison to, became it appeared to him to afford • strong ground of ejection te proceeding with the bill.

(Hear, hear.) My right hon. friend might as well object to toying the Lord Chancellor, who exercises not only judicial, but high legislative (sections also. (Hear.) If the principle, therefore, for which my right ho.. friend contends be correct, it must extend much further in its application than he popovers. (Hear) It is my humble opinion, then, that there is no constitutional ob jection to giving to these two legal members of the Howie of Lords that amoest of Wary which would enable distin guished meinbere of the legal profession to abandon their private practice for the purpose of undertaking the im portant duties whiskies legal member' of the House of Peers. they would ham toporform.

FURTHER discussion has only served to make more clear the false position into which Ministers have suffered themselves to be betrayed with respect to the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill. There was last night an open avowal of mutiny and revolt among tke very trained bands that usually support them. The vehement and vivacious remonstrances of Mr. RABIES Coon spinet the manner in which the second reading wri carried, followed by the graver appeals of Mr. EVELYN DENISON and others, could not but tell upon Lord PALMERSTON. He was plainly told he held his post as official head of the Liberal party, not because he was the legitimate representative of their opinions, but " as a compromise"—because, in short, he had shown more pluck and perseverance in times of difficulty abroad than others of his recent colleagues, and because he was on some points supposed to harbour more liberal notions than his Tory opponents. But the Pitman was warned, in terms not to be mistaken, that no consideration for past or hope of future services would suffice to assuage the gathering sense of being sacrificed to the designs of their political antago nists that was beginning to prevail in the ranks of his supporters. At the head of the Tory party, and surrounded only by a staff of salaried official., he had a few nights ago routed and ridden down the broken and disorganised Liberals, on whom in the hour of real need the maintenance and defence of his power absolutely depends 1. We can fancy how the admonitions administered some time before his fall to Sir ROBF.RT PEEL for similar desertion of friends and adoption of foes must have recurred to the mind, of those who listened to these unwonted warnings. But the difference was not more striking in the subject of the warnings than in the party sad personal position of those by whom they were pronounced. The great Conservative leader delibe rately forsook the bulk of his followers because they insisted upon standing between him and the na tion at large. Lord Paueeneroti, when he hearkens to DaIIiTITE schemers and intrigues, and consents to do their bidding in resisting progress,commitathefatal error of encircling himself with the follies and preju diens of an aristocratic faction, to the exclusion of the sympathy and confidence of the great body of the community. Sir ROBERT had everythiog to com pensate him for the loss of power. The Noble Lord, were he obstinately to persist in so infatuated a course,would have nothing to countervail the Mai floe. Equally marked is the contrast between those by whom the words of augury were uttered in '1846 and those who discharge a like duty in 1866. Mr. DISRAELI was heard, rather in wonder at his temerity than in serious belief that his ominous words were a prophetic verity, swiftly and inexorably to be fulfilled. What gave them force was, that the distrust he dared to arti culate lurked silently in the hearts of many—of many who listened in silence, and who would have probably denied that they approved of what was said by as unsnpported and &Minot shunned spokesman of widespread discontent. In the present case, the tone of rebuke, it not of menace, is used by men of long standing among the Whigs, of moderate opinions and long tried fidelity to party ties, of more than unquestioned independence of character and fortune, and above all, with the ready and undis guised support of scores of men like themselves, both in and out of Parliament, who if asked by any inso- lent underling what they wanted, would be apt to answer, as a venerable nobleman is said to have answered when similarly questioned, "Thank DOD. sir, I want nothing but good government, and 'that great men should stick to their principles." The Tories naturally strove to hold their official recruits to the fatal bargain they had entered into- But it was edifying to see bow their satisfaction at the pickle into which their ministerial confederates had been lured, gleamed through their clumsy attempts to defend the measure in detail. Speakers like Mr. Mauro could not muster impudence enough to argue gravely in favour of anything the Bill con tained. They even took pains to declare that they were thoroughly and at heart ashamed to do so. It was for other reasons they were ready to vote with Government on the question. Just so—the other reasons being reducible in a few words to this, that Lord DERBY having entrapped Lord PALMERSTON into a compromise of matchless absurdity, by which Crown and Commons, Bench and Bar, Lords and Lawyers, were all sure to be damaged and die- satisfied—Lord Duttuv's followers In the lower HOMO most at any cost adhere thereto, and give the Go vernment no excuse for retractation on the ground of being unsustained by their new allies. This, and this alone, formed the gist of all that was muttered rather than uttered in support of this most wretched 11111118111111 during the long debate on Mr. CURRIE'S motion. Lord Pai.exarrotr endeavoured to soothe the malcontent Liberals, but in vain. It was ad dressing the deaf adder, that listen not to the words of the charmer. The House, by a majority of 133 to 133, resolved to »legate the Bill to a Select Com mittee--that bourns from whence so few bills re turn. If Lord Psuutzsros is wise, he will with draw it at once. Viscount Palmerston has taken for a term the late Sir Riebud Sutton's antekta in Piccadilly, formerly to the occupation for malty years of his late Royal Higbnese tke Duke of Cambridge.

MANIN AND THE SICILIAN QUESTION. TO TEI EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS. Sta,—M. Martin, whoee patriotism entitles him to the respect of politicians, still continues in his letters to the English and French journals, to lay down rules of action for the next Itilian movement. This time he addressee himself to Southern Italy, as appears by his letter published in the Daily News on the 7th of July. M. Mania completely ignores the history of the latter timer and the laws in force in the Two Sicilia. Had he bees acquainted with that history and those laws he would not have believed in those castles in the air, nor,would he have planted his batteries on them. The constitution of 18t2 never had force on the conti nental portion c( the kingdom—being framed for Sicily alone, at a time when Naples wail under King Murat. That constitution proclaimed the political independence of the island and pronounced the forfeiture of the throne by the King, wto had abandoned the island and bad extinguished its independence. The constitution of 1818 has been promulgated at Naples alone. Moreover, the 87th article of that constitution de clares that the King, then a coostitutht power, bad sanc tioned other laws or Sicily. Those law, were sanctioned on the 6th of March, 1818, but the of the court sufficed to p t their being accepted by the Sicilians. Soon after the Sicilian parliament met at Palermo, and after hav ing decreed the fall of the Bourbons, it made a new coital:lth. Lion, which wu received with enthusiasm by all the towns in the island, and which thenceforth became the funda mental law of the state. In Sicily the monarchical party is separatist ; at Naples it is despotic, and hat always treated the is!and as a conquered country. Since 1839 we made every exertion to unite the intelligent portions of these two parties, and to make them accept a common plan of action. The principle was settled that, if the revolution succeeded, the Sicilian monarchy should be maintila.ed to that of Sweden and Norway, with two parliaments, two admiaistr►tione, and two armies. Unfortunately the Neapolitan Id. J. &multi, who had been one of the conspirators, as soon as he attained to power, was iniquitous enough to be the first to deny the agreement which he had made, and plunged both parties in the kingdom into ell the disorders of civil war. In ttse Two &Cale', according to the laws now io force, those citizens who might petition for the rc-establishment of a eonstitution would be punished in the lame way es if they took up arms and went to the barricades. Of a truth, if the people if this i Gantry were agreed uron the plan of action, it would not be worth risking life for the tint of these means, which has no chance of SUCCI . . . The refusal to pay tax. e, and the publication of the declo. ration proposed by M. Mania would have the same effecL It has never been possible to organise any plan of taming to pay taxes at a time when Power was shout is tread under foot public liberty—and when amongst the people the remembru.a of the constitution wag still fresh. In 1815, one man alone in Sicily bad the courage to refuse to pay the taxes because they had not been voted by the parliament. This man was the Prince of Castel nuovo, formerly minister, of whose popularity the govern ment stood in awe, and who therefore escaped punienineatr, bat nobody d►red t , follow his example. You see, therefore, that in the Two Sicilies a general constitution hes never existed, and that, besides, there are no lawful means for compelling King Ferdinand to yield. Unheppily, there are but two way. of ar riving at thie consurnmati , n in that no happy land: either the cannon of the Western Powers or a revolution. For the cannon of the Western Powers we need not hope. The revolution will come, and it will be coloured by tbei same feelings which showed in 1848 that there is no municipal hatred between the inhabitants of the Two &cities. Then these inhabitants, al well as throe of the other provicore of the Peninsula, will, I tenet, have dons with kings.—Believe me, Sir, your humble servant, A DEPUTY IN THE LAST SICILIAN PARLIAMENT.

It is called Medea, or a Libel as the Lady of each: ; and is stated t freely adapted (rem Mr. Thomas Williams's translation of Signor Joseph Morita- WWI rept glutton of Monsieur Err c , t LrytoeWs imitation of Euripides." It is, of course, a tray • of the Italian Medea, performed et the Lyceum, with ludicrous imitation of the perimeters, especially of Madame Eiatori. It is en tirely in the style of the hut'. sque pieces to which we ere accustomed at Christmas and Easter, and which are gene rally confined to those periods ; so that at preeeat it may be thought somewhat oat of anion. Such things ate written in a stereotyped form; some serious, romantic, or tragic subject is taken, and made ridinilous by dialogue in dowel rhyme, absurd dresses, and acting carried to the extreme of buffoonery ; while the audience are mere or less amused by jokes, puce, cockney ph , satirical hits at the puslog follies of the day, and mock sentimental singing. Pieces of this sort got for • time unto great vogue, and almost eseudad the pantomime from our holiday entertainment" ; bat they have been much overdose, and latterly the old-fashioned pantomime has beea rest ,red to its accustomed plena in all the theatres. Now the present burlesque is (as has been said) just one of these holiday piece., brought out ate time when such things are not looked for ; the Adelphi manager s it would seem, having been tempted by the oppor tufty of extracting fun out of the grand end beautiful tragic perforation!' which the public are at prams' inkling. It is very well doze; written with emartnam, and even wit, capitally put upon the stage, and very cleverly sated. Bet it Is too long, and too laboured ; and we doubt, moreover, it it is calculated to please either those who are acquainted with the Italian performances or thou who are not. The former can scarcely derive pleasure, we should think, from seeing the most sublime and touching fsatuna of the great tragedian's acting, with which they Ease been moat deeply moved, made the subject of ridicule turd mirth. frog suing her most impassioned looks and gesturer, sad hearing the very tones of her voice, profaned by the but 'emery of Mr. John Wright : while, to the larger portion of the audience, who have not even the Italian play, this ledi• mons Wasik)* of it must appear simply unmeaning. We manot help tbiaking,t'ierelore, that the clever author of this pleas (whoever he is) has rest been happy in bin tholes of a subject. The performance often dragged heavily, sad the applause at the end was mingled with sufficiently au& Ids disapprobation. 11111milli•mt
