Malir men in this country are born to an official reputation, or have it thrust upon them, but a parliamentary reputation must be achieved. This is not perhaps in all cases a very high achieve ment, though it ought to be, and often is, among the highest to which a generous intellect and an enlightened ambition can aspire. Sometimes it is due to serious though obscure merits, of which the world beyond the Palace of Westminster knows little or nothing ; to punctual and patient attendance in Committee of Supply ; to an inex haustible delight in sitting still, and seeming to listen, and dozing with an air of buaineeslikedignity and self-denial ; sometimes to an insatiable passion for boring and being bored, for sleeping and sending to sleep ; sometimes to a real honed, workman like usefulness in committee rooms, an imposing judicial gravity, or an unfailing shrewdness and good sense ; sometimes to a commanding knowledge and experience brought to bear upon the discussion of special questions ; sometimes to the strength of personal character, or even to the charm of presence and manner. Very often it is due to nothing more than a "terrible gift of familiarity," au inexhaustible fundof assurance, a front of bruit, and nerves of steel, a ready and reckless tongue, and that peculiar wit which smacks of the Pall-mall cuisine. Then there is the great and true parliamentary reputation of statesmen who have spent their lives in the House, and the parliamentary reputa tion, worthy of all respect, of members who, by their ability and influence and energy as speakers, whether as leaders of parties or as representatives of opinion out of doors, have been content to leave their mark upon the legislation of the time, end to make and unmake governments. Mr. Roraucx has undoubtedly achieved a parlia mentary reputation, but one which it would not be altogether easy to describe with out exaggeration or injustice. Perhaps the distinctive quality of his parliamentary career consists in the fact that he is nothing if not a member of Parliament ; that it is as a working and conspicuous member of Parliament that he became " a name" thirty years ago, and is a name" now. No doubt, whatever celebrity he enjoys in his later years has been achieved by the ingenious process of getting up and saying out what others only thought or whispered, and by 'voting like a Liberal and talking like a Tory. But it should not be for gotten, and Mr. ROIDUCH is entitled to remind his friends and admirers at Sheffield, that he really did take a forward part in the great measures of the Reform era. That be is on the most comfortable terms with a tolerably Radical con stituency is not, we are inclined to believe, in spite, but rather by virtue of his eccentricities : his put services are handsomely remembered; his singular candour is accepted as • com pliment. The honest people of Sheffield evi dently believe that they have a great original among them when Mr. Rocancx comes down to a corporation banquet and conveys to them, with that delightful bonhomie which is all his own, the faith and doctrines of a disciple of Dr. Pang Lies. Some people have imagined that our venerable Plumes was more than a sufficient representative of the mild satisfactions of political old age ; but Mr. Romance surpasses his trusted chief. His Dr Seneetate is almost a catechism. Lord Pate me.sarox indeed has lately discovered that some people in England are so " provincial " as to be positively in earnest ; as to say what they mean and to mean what they say. Mr. Roseccx should go to Bradford to lecture upon "that which should " accompany old age." For according to this ancient and advanced school of Ministers and members—so advanced that they insist on the duty of standing still—the one thing the Liberal party have to do now is to contemplate in beatific abstraction the "great picture" of Reform which their elders painted thirty years ago—and the more modern picture of England standing serene in her greatness amidst a world in ruins. Mr. ROE111:1 x confesses that, as a bolder man than Lord Patmensrow, he would have recognised at once the Southern Confederacy, and fought the other day for Denmark. But he recognises the higher wisdom of a Govenment which obeys Par liament, and of • Parliament which obeys the people, in doing none cf these things, and he recognises the same higher wisdom in a Par liament which declines to reform itself, and in a Minister who won't propose reform till Parlia ment compels him. Not to do scything is the summum bonum of our reigning poli tical philosophy, and Mr. ROEBUCK professes an especial admiration for the doctor who, rather than run the risk of killing his patient, quietly lets him die. It results, therefore, that we have nothing more to hope or desire, now that every Englishman can grumble to his heart's content, and i even walk from one end of England to the other : in perfect security.

OSBORNE, Arlin*? 19. The Queen and Princess Helena walked and drove yesterday. The Hon. Earatia Stopford has sweeeded the lica. Florence &quasar u Maid of Honour in Waiting. Despatches were sent yaterday from the Oolouiaboffios to the Goverson of Gibraltar, Malta, the Mauritius, Ceyloo, Hong Kong, Inhume, and the Australian Colonies. Tits emit of Surgeons for the Army at a time when there is no war might at first sight appear to be a matter of no very pressing concern. It is supposed that as soldiers are scrupulously selected for their good health and perfect exemption from all defects of bodily strength, they cannot have much need of the surgeon when not engaged in a campaign. This most erroneous opinion seems to have always guided our military economy, for whenever a war has come it has found our army quite unprepared with surgeons ; or, to put the case in more direct terms as to the conse quences, the army has been well equipped to fight the enemy coming with sword and bullet, while the defence against a far more deadly and in sidious foe of the camp and the trenches has been most inadequately provided for. This deficiency is suddenly discovered after the troops have fallen into some terrible state of disease ; when the surgeons, overworked, drop with fatigue at their posts ; ship loads of dying and suffering wounded are obliged to be sent, as they were from Balaclava to Scutari, with perhaps one or two surgeons to each ship, according as these valuable officers could be spared from the crowded hospital tents ; and an outcry is justly raised at home against such cruel neglect. But how was a dis aster like this met t Not by the regular resources of the Army Medical Department, but by those three hundred or more surgeons who volunteered to encounter the risks and sufferings of the field, and put themselves at once entirely under military command. It was nothing but a piece of good luck that enabled the authorities of the army to obtain the services of those gentlemen, and we believe that though the profession might then have been somewhat " overstocked," no inducements in the shape of pay would have succeeded had it not been for the best feeling on the part of the surgeons, who were ready to render their abilities available in so sharp a crisis, without any consideration foe their own special advancement. The danger past, however, and some sixty brave and devoted surgeons left upon the field, our War Department return again to the " system." Little or nothing is learnt from such a lesson as the Crimea afforded. The first thing was to discharge the three hundred surgeons, in the style that we treat a servant who has disgraced his place—with a month's pay ; and thus so effectually to disgust the profession as to cat off this source of supply on another emergency. The exertions of SIDNEY HRIIIIKIIT forced some measure of attention to the general subject of the medical organization of the army ; the pay and position of the surgeon were improved for a time, until the Horse Guards, finding it intolerable that medical officers should be treated with even that small amount of con sideration, soon contrived to undo all that had been done by a Royal Commission. The result is, that the Army is calling in vain for surgeons in time of peace, and when the ranks of the profession, so far from being crowded, are known to be only fairly filled up by men deriving a good reward for their talents. The schools are nct by any means so full of students as they were twenty years ago, although the standard of professional study has been decidedly raised ; and this may be in some measure attributed to the poor inducements held oat by the Medical Servici s to enter it as a career, and the narrow poicy that has controlled the Department. That very policy, in fact, has recoiled upon the Me heal Service, which has long driven the best men from its ranks, which was detected by the late Lord Hxmsr, and condemned by the answer Sir BsxaarnNßsoors, one of the mostexperienced and independent authorities possible to have been found, gave to the question, before the Royal Commission, " Should you say that the pay, the rank, the " emoluments, and the general position of our " army medical officers are such as to attract the " best students to the Army Medical profession, " or a fair share of them 1"—" I can only say that " I do not believe that I ever recommended any " of our better class of students to go into the " army, except into the Guards, where they have " some advantages which they do not possess else " where. I do not think that there is anything Has MA.TearT's Vuirr TO Pzirrn.—A meeting of the Lord Provost and magistrates of Perth wu held oa Wednesday with the view of making arraogements for the forthoomiog inauguration of the Albert Statue by her Ma jesty.

The thirty-sixth half-yearly meeting wan held this rooming it Kt llo , olllllll, 00101901 nom ILE, deputy charm; la . the chair . . _ Tbe r•Yort, has already appeared in the Express. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, expressed the regret he felt at the &bathos cl the chairman (Mr. Nakao), who, however, be was happy to say, was now in • ocia• valescent date. He (the gallant colonel) congratulated the thareholden ea the increase of revenue on the halfiror, which amounted to about 100,0004 Against that there wee, of coons, to be set some increase of expellees. Nineteen miles of perumeent way bad been plaid as against eight miles last year; ne3 and this had entailed 4 an additional charge of 25,000 was so increase in the cost of looonsetive and coaching bat that had been plated to venue ;so that the =e7 re the company's property wee daily increasing rather toga dimmultiog. Tome was a serious dump for compensa tion, ,is., a sum of 14.3664 Of that above 7,0004 bad been taken to meet the coosequesess of an accident to the Withers bank. Than there yea the interest on the new preference stock, which bad for the first time been paid ; but on the whole the increase of ex penditure was sot more than at the rate of 50 per eras. of the immeshed receipts. With respect to the parliamentary business of the Benicia be thought the directors had bees very successful, inasmuch as they had succeeded in defeat ing an both honor the rival scheme of Mr. Bidder and the Onset Esetern Company. Mr. Bidder thought that the easeadttees eight to be compelled to gin num for their lint the reason was very prin. This company bed already • better line, and it bad offered the Great Easters the same equitable terms as they had given to other cocapeniee. Parliameot bed insetted theme Menu in the set of pm/Bement, and the Great &elm NW* avail them selves of them by giving a mouth's notice. This company always endeavoured to live peaceably with their neighbours and he traded that theGrat Eastern would not attack them again. At all evicts, if they did, the directors would be prepared to defend the interests of their constituents. With regard to the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany, the directors proposed to land it 300,00 W. at par ege t t. The agreement would be an ad raeteeseas one for this company, as i would enable them to carry coals and other merehendies over the Loudon. Chatham, and Dover line. It was to last for 999 yarn—ls fact it would be a perpetual one. Mr. Anat. M.P.. wooded the motion. Mr. HOU= supposed that the direction had taken the anal mune of protecting themselves with work& and that any attempt at opposition would therefore be defeated. Bat it was a mistake to suppose that the Art:dune of hide. pedant propeieters was mselea. It bad, in point of feet, been completely sueasedal in the bug run, end he maM point out a demo men in which the board had yielded things to which the chairman bed protested that he would sever submit. He (Mr. Hughes) had still to complain that, notwithstanding the great mouse of tabulstion in which the direenwe indulged, the scomate were as full of toyetifi edits eefever. "in the Army u it now exists to remnantsto the " beet educated class of students." When further aaked if it wu • question of remuneration, Sir BENJAMIN emphatically says, " I think that is • " very important thing, and I also think that rank " and station are very important." Mr. WILLIAM Fmtuussox, the eminent lip ig authority, agreeing in this opinion, said, with equal declaim], " " doubtedly good men would enter the service " if greater induoements were offered." Mr. — Mr. iiiieuxaar, eye of the auditors, said that the aecoulte were peefeetly 00117, and that nothing was charged to capital which ought to be charged tonneau*. The tenth we., in feet, jest the MOM. Mr. HCOIIIO3 wished Mr. Morgue to explain how it hammed that, in the face of these clear accounts, the company should appear to have exceeded its borrowing powen. Mr. Mown" replied that thew had absorbed other com panies—the Fait Lincolnshire, for instance—and hod elms deed the borrowing powers of those oompesies. Mr. LIMN (the solicitor) laid that be had carefully examined all their acts of parliameat, and he could assure the meeting that the borrowing powers of the company had not hese exceeded. PAG Li, again, tells the Commission that, " except in the instance of those who have a mill " tary commission, the best students very rarely " enter the army." In the face of evidence like this the authorities could scarcely doles, than iesuethe Warrant theydid for increase of pay and rank. No sooner, however, is it in foroe, than every scheme is devised to render it as ineffective as possi ble, and the whole thing becomes a shameful mockery. But this Royal Warrant, which has been so far nullified—in a manner, we mast say, which appears to demand investigation—afforded not half the benefit the Army Surgeon is fairly entitled to as an officer incessantly on duty. Every officer in the service gets his two months' leave of absence in the year at home, and after certain terms of foreign service is allowed a corresponding koliday. Now the medical officer can claim no leave either by right or courtesy from his com mending officer. Many surgeons have spent the best part of their lives, often in the most destruc tive climates, without a week's relief from duty. This has long been felt and complained oi r as a moat invidious pressure upon them in comparison with other officers. It is this which in great measure contributes to give the idea in the service that the Doctor is an indispensable drudge to a regimen; who is to be kept hard at his work, and made to bear the blame of all the epidenOcs and saoitsry mishaps brought upon the troops by commanding officers who will not consult him as to the site of Mr. Booms was perfectly satisfied ; bit why wee that not stated ow the face of the swoosh; ?

(nom ous owa PARIS, FRIDAY EVINT3O. The people are beginning to understand the im portance of departmental government. The duty of the councils general, or the French grand jury, has not only relation to the administration of the country, but it is charged to make known to the government the wants and wishes of the popula tions. A short time ago there was a partial re election of these councils, whose session will open on the 22nd instant, and several persons of known antagonism to the government were returned. The prefects will then, for the first time since the este biahnient of the second empire, find themselves in presence of members of the jury whe will most probably contradict their statements and oppose their resolutions. The government is already strongly represented, as the prefect always presides over these assemblies, and it is nct unlikely that an attempt will be made to remove this incubus, I which must unfairly influence all decisions and I establish the rule that the councils should elect their own president. It is supposed that the go vernment is inclined to give greater powers to these councils, and consult them with regard to the ex penditure of the public money. The government at the moment of its becoming more liberal will experience a commencement of opposition. The representation at the Opera last night was of the most brilliant description. The house had been especially prepared for the reception of so much royalty. The imperial box was placed in the centre of the theatre, and was richly decorated, whilst the orchestra was set apart for members of the legisla tion. The King of Spain wore the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour, and the Emperor the Golden Fleece. His most catholic Majesty was placed between the Emperor, who bad on his left the Princess Mathilde, and the Empress, who had at her right Prince Murat. The Empress wore a tiara of precious stones, and looked remarkably well. To-day the fates have been troubled by bad weather ; rain, not heavy but continuous, has suc ceeded to • stifling heat, and the troops marched out in the wet this morning to the Champ de Mars. In spite of this unusual drawback all Paris flocked out to the review, and at an early hour possession was taken of every available spot from whence the proceedings could be witnessed. At 2 o'clock the troops took up the positions assigned to them. The first corps d'armee was placed under the command of General T.lbriob. The line was formed up in twenty close 'columns of division, the National Guard in ten columns, and the Imperial Guard and the infantry of the Ist Corps in five columns each. Besides these troops were cavalry of the guard and the line, artillery, engineers, military train, pontoneers, the guard of Paris, and sapeurs-pompiers, or battalions of fire men. The troops were under the command of Marshal Magnin, commander-in-chief of the lit corps d'armde. The Imperial Guard was under Marshal St. Jean d'Angely, and the National Guard under the orders of General Mellinet. The number of men present was 50,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry and artillery, and 108 guns. The Emperor and King of Spain arrived from St. Cloud in • carriage and four at 3 o'clock ; they then mounted on horseback, and made their entry into the Champ de Man, followed by a numerous escort. The Empress, in spite of the rain, followed.the cortege in an open carriage. The Prince Imperial , in the uniform of the grenadiers, rode alongside his father. Many of the papers discuss the probable effect which would have been caused by the Saxon pro positions in the Diet, but as the motion has been withdrawn the matter is of no further interest. It is insisted that the relations between Austria and Prussia continue unfriendly, although Saxony had nearly united them in their common interest. A mouth's study of the Gazette des Tribunaux, whilst showing the amount of French crime, would reveal the fact that criminals in this country when once they set to work stop short of no horror. A few days ago a man was tried for murder of his mother in-law, arson committed to bide his crime, and wounds inflicted on another woman by means of ' vitriol. Two men are now being tried in toe south and their indictment is even more terrible. One might fancy one was reading another tale of Edgar Poe. On the 9th July lest Jacques Latour, a baker, and Francois Audouy, nick-named Hercules, were accused of assassination and robbery, and coin- mitted for trial. The act of accusation gives the following account of the crime with which these men are charged : In the valley of the Arise, and close to the village Labastide-Besplas lies the chateau of Baillard, a straggling building. In this chateau lived an old bachelor, a M. Bugad de Lasalle, and three servants, Jean Lemuel, the coachman, Pelagie Bycheire, the maid, and Raymonde Bergh, the cook. M. de La salle had a considerable fortune, which he very much neglected ; in fact, he was a miser and preferred boarding up hie money even to investing it in government secu rities. Public report greatly exaggerated his wealth. He left home but rarely, and bad always guns and swords at band. On the 25th February last a valet remarked that the shutters of the chateau were closed at an unusually late hour. After making some inquiries, this emu west into the court-yard of Halliard, and called Pelagie ; find ing no one in the kitchen, be went into the stable, where he saw several pools of blood, and in an obscure corner the body of the maid. He imme diately gave the alarm, and an atrocious business was soon brought to light. The body of the maid Pelagie had been discovered on the ground floor. In • wood shed close by lay the corpse of Jean Lacanal, where it had evidently been dragged from the stable. It is supposed that he was the first victim, and that Pelagießyeheire was murdered after • long struggle, whilst attempting to assist him. On the first floor, where the two servants slept, was found the body of M. de Lasalle, at the foot of a bed, and behind the bed, half enveloped in the curtains, was Ray. monde Berge', her head nearly severed from her body. It seemed as if she had been the last attacked, and had endeavoured to defend herself with the bed hangings. The assassin, to accomplish his crime, must have got on the bed, for the sheets showed the marks of muddy boots. It is supposed that M. de Lasalle was murdered in an adjoining room. The four bodies were fearfully mutilated, and the details of the different wounds showed that unheard of ferocity had been practised on the victims after death. It is hard to account for this brutality otherwise than by supposing that the assassins were endeavouring to mislead justice. M. de Lasalle is laid to have had no enemies, and the only motive for the perpetration of the crime was to obtain the treasure he was known to possess. Suspicion immediately fell on a man who went by the name of PujoL He had been seen several times in the neighbourhood, and had disappeared directly after the assassivationa. Had he remained quiet he might have escaped altogether ; but he was taken up for wounding and robbery at St. Girona and Toulouse, and as the description given of him coincided with Pujol the matter was examined, and he was found to be the same man who had been seen wandering round Halliard. His name was not Pujol but? acques Latour, he was an escaped convict, he had already been in prison for nine years, and his photograph was in every considerable police station in France. A chain of circumstantial evidence was gone into. Pour before the crime, Latour had his pockets full of notes and gold a few days later. He announced his intention of settling in the neighbourhood and purchasing a farm, and he went so far as to ask the daughter of his host in marriage, but he soon got frightened and west further off. He continually heard the affair of Labastide discussed, and when told that one of the assassins had been arrested he declared the report to be false, and on another occasion, when tbe assassins were accused of having eaten by the aide of the dead bodies of their victims, be replied, " And why not 1 They were hungry." The evidence collected against Jacques Latour is nearly certain to lead to his conviction. He is supposed to have been aided by the other prisoner, against whom no very strong case has been made out. The cry of "Lambert," suddenly become so po pular in Paris, still continues to offend the ear. A street boy called out the other day, pointing to a gentleman, " Voills Lambert." Crowds immediately flocked to the spot, and the supposed Lambert had to seek refuge in a add. The cafe afforded but • slender asylum ; it was carried by storm, and but for the intervention of the police an innocent gentleman would have been immolated to an un meaning cry. Many country people who had come up to see the fetes were driven from Paris by the way in which they were tortured with "Lambert." However, this nuisance will now no doubt abate, for an urchin has been taken up for shouting this watchword and resisting the police, and sentenced to 15 days' imprisonment. It was all in vain that the unhappy delinquent urged that even the En glish going back home cried "Lambert" The Gasette say. that there is now one voice the lees. Notwithstanding the unpromising state of the weather the Bourse was nearly deserted to-day for the review. The Rentes hardly varied sc. HORRIBLE SUICIDE ON rill OBEAT NORTNEAN BAIEWAY.
