LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 3. MR. OSBORNE AND MR. LOWE. ME. BERNAL OSBORNE divided the honours of the debate last evening with Mr. Lows on the left of the Speaker's chair—the venerable Mr. BIBLE with the veteran General Pam. on the right. Mr. Ossosas is by nature au after-dinner speaker. though he occasionally rises in the twilight hour, and sends members away with a stimulated appetite and a digestion facilitated by laughter when he sits down, and the harmless necessary men, are very tolerable, and not to be endured at any other moment, rush in and till the dreadful OP between 8 and 10 p.m. These unacknow ledged legislators, by the bye, who oAxupy the par- lismoutary dog-watch, fulfil the useful purpose of " carpenter's scenes " consisting of a landscape which nobody looks at, and of a dialogue which nobody listetui to, while the masterpiece of the painter and machinist is getting ready. All honour to their collective merit ! They deserve well of the Hmse, if not of their constituencies. Some better men might poesibly be better spared. It would perhaps be not exact to compare Mr. OSBORN:fa speeches to that coup du milieu—that toothful of liqueur which at a certain period of the choic , ...st banquets refreshes and revives the drooping palate. A more complete specimen of the Henn of Commons Wit has probably never existed. The House has some of the tastes and habits of ancient rqyalty. It cannot do with out its jester. The King's Fool, it should be re membered, was no fool at all in the modern sense, butavery clever and cynical gentleman, witha biting and bitter tongue, and a chartered freedom in the useandabuseof it. ft hasbeen said that a verplittle wit goes a long way in a lawcourt. It i;oe3 at least as far in a legislative assembly. The Housed Commons is set iti a roar by a species of pleasantly which would certainly look very small indeed in any pub lished selection of epigrammatic sayings. Such as it is, however, Mr. Orsioaria must be pronounced a parliamentary humourist of a high order. He has always treated the House as a club, and the House returna the compliment by treating him as a bet esprit. Well, he is not precisely a CHAKVOIT, nor a Itl . V A aor" nor a SYDNEYBrrrs,norevenaTnsonosr Boon. He is more of a Dun:rims who, not being in search of an honest man, learns his lantern behind, hut does not forget to carry a stout stick wherewith to layabout him on the balks of wickedly virtuous pretenders. It is not given to every man with a bold front and a loud voice and a ready tongue and a shrewd memory, to achieve that dis tinction in the House which some comedians achieve an the stage—of provoking laughter and applause before they have opened their lips. Mr. Ossoatcr's rising is anotice to his audience tube unused. And be ocometimes deserves the laughter he never fails to provoke. It would be unjust to deny that his emcee, is not all a natter of temperament. Many qualifications account for it. The House seldom • bestow , its favours on members who do not care to win them. Parliamentary life becomes the passion of men of the world of middle age and active minds. There is something womanly in the emoting and absorbing jealousy of the House. Two sins a loving woman never forgives in the object other preference—sleep and business. The House of Commons lets its lovers sleep, it is true, . but on its own benches ; it never quite excuses . them for havingany business to transact but its own. Mr. o , 3oarrs has been on the whole a very . constant and faithful lover of the House. He is seldom absent, and seldom sleep. He has made it his business to cultivate every Whim and mood j; of the House . ; to study 'its and tastes • and traditions, to be "familiar with the • political antecedents its favourites. He knows his " liaasard." He never soars above • nor sinks below the intellectual average of his audience. Add to these essential merits, a " terrible gift of familiarity," an intimate aequaint ance with the jargon 41 the political eltiksses in the :oche and in socket; :, a very Leen percept 3tx of the 6zad quantity of. hllinan weakness awl I T 'noV. frailty ever latent in the oonduct'ef public affairs ; GLADSTONE is course of the deem— a dramatic instinct which puts • grave and sten a earned for -himself the name of a "sons, grim face on the roughest fun and the rudest " Fenian."

But, " air, this House may rest assured that a good deal " may with truth be said of the exigencies of the " case, and that the present position of the Irish " Church is not alone injurious to Ireland, but also " disastrous to the English nation." (Cheers) Sir STAFFORD NORTRCOIIII task was so extremely delicate, and he was so anxiously bent upon pre serving his balance between Lord Sr airtsr and Mr. HARDY that we are unable to add anything from what he said to our " Ana " of the debate. As Parliamentary phraseology mid practice are so obeenre that experienoed menthe= like Mr. Yoitas ani Lord CAA:maws have to beg the SPIAILIR to explain them, ordinary rends= may be excused a little uncertainty. Before the Brum:Vs remarks last night, it had been the general opinion that the fret vote of the Howe would be on Lord firAxiar's amendment, and the Ministerial circular explicitly stating that the vote would directly Arm or negative Mr. GLADSTONVII motion to go into committee was thought to be a mistake or to presuppose the as the fc PARLIAMENTARY "ANA." Ix the course of last night's debate a few good things were said. Some were impromptu, others are of the lamp, but in either ease they are worth enjoying as they pass. We pick them out h a _ partia i . Mx. tummy's famous figures of the " ugly ruah," and " the pot that was boiling over," were homely enough, but some that he employed last night are a little more than that, and require the indulgence accorded to old age and experience. " With re " gard," be said, "to the land question, we hare " the proposal of the hon. member for Westminster " and that of the hon. member for Birreisgham. " Both these hos, ggatasa proceed by somewhat " violent modes—one of which may perhaps be " deaigLated as rape, the other by the gentler 1 " ::,f seduction." (Loud laughter.) Mr. THE i f , APRIL iment. Not ■ itof the oourse will show. First—certain Acts relating to the Irish Church were, at the insiamee of Mr. °LAMSON% read by the Clerk at the table, the right hon. gentleman then moving, " That this House " will immediately resolve itself into a "committee to consider the said acts." At this stage Lord STANLEY interposes. salting the the House, instead of going into committee, to agree to his amendment. The decision of the House therefore will be taken on Mr. GLADSTONE'S motion for going into committee. Technically, the question put by the ?basses will. be " That the words proposed [by Lord firs:nail "to be left out stand part of the question." If the House votes by a majority to go into com mittee, the amendment is disposed of, and the main question, Mr. GLAMTONE'S other resolutions, comes on. If on the other hand, it decides that the words shall be " left out," Lord STANLEY'S amendment will become a substantive proposition, and as such would probably be withdrawn. THE Duke of CAMIZIDOE so rarely takes part in the debate. of the House of Lord/ that his speech last night on corporal punishment in the army claims attention on that ground alone. We regret to read in it a tacit protest against the abolition of the lash. His ROYAL Mamma did not, it is true, ask his fellow Peers to alter the Mutiny Bill, but the tenor of his remarks was to make his listeners feel that a powerful adjunct to discipline and good order would be lost, and that in troubled times evil consequences might ensue. We are happy to believe that a higher clan of men will gradually be induced to enlist ; that the Drag will live to smile at the bugbear his imaginative fancy conjures up ; and that the absence of a punishment he admits to be brutal and degrading will be feund to neither lower the tone nor lessen the stamina of the British soldier. That no efficient substitute has been provided, and that, as the law stands, certain flagrant offences will be allowed to pass with comparative impunity, is really a matter beyond the range of the opponents of the cat. Their object is gained when the power to inflict a torture they deem demoralising to the army, and worthy only of savages, is wiped out of the statute book ; and the providing deterrent punishments and the maintenance of proper discipline are matters they are content to leave in the hands of the authorities. We must protest, however, against the tono adopted by Lord HANDINGE and some of the other peers. The former talked of " the concessions made by the Government on " this subject," and made a merit of " corporal " punishment being now restricted to two offences " instead to twelve as before last year." This is much as if a cabman prosecuted by the Society boasted of only beating one horse to death in a year instead of three as in his hot youth ; or as if a garotter declared that he only singled out fat gentle men with big watch-chains for the exercise of his art. The lash has gone just as the thumb-screw and the " Little-Ease" have gone, because it was opposed to the spirit of the age. Its infliction at all was a blot upon our civilisation, and a disgrace to the country ; and we need have no fear that the disciplinarians of the British army will be so untrue to themselves as to allow military offenders to run riot unchecked. THE noble example of Mr. PEABODY has been followed, though in a different direction, by Mr. WHITWORTH. Great wealth has been devoted to great objects ; and the luxury of doing good indulged in to the benefit of the community. To found thirty scholarships of 100/. a year each, for the education of young men who have already distinguished themselves beyond their fellows by industry and perseverance, is to provide a stimulus to humble talent and obscure genius which will pro bably lead to noble results. These scholarships are to be applied to the " further instruction of young " men, natives of the United Kingdom, selected " by open competition for their intelligence and " proficiency in the theory and practice of mocha " nice and its cognate sciences, with a view to the " promotion of engineering and mechanical industry, " and with the hope of bringing science and in " dusby into closer relation." The Pamperer of the COUNCIL for EDUCATION will be trustee for the management of the endowment fund ; and in an official letter published this morning hints are given of establishing in the great (Notre' of menu• factoring industry fit places for scientific instruc tion in matters pertaining to productive industry. Hopes are expressed that Mr. Warrwoarre's munificent example may be extensively followed, and a promise of State assistance and co-operation implied. Here is a signal opportunity brought home as it were through the doors of the great and wealthy. The return is immediate, and the result certain. Give to the keen brains and de termined wills of our most promising mechanics the advantages of education, and the augmented happiness and prosperity of the nation will assuredly follow. We appeal especially to the manufacturing and commercial interests, because it seems to us they furnish the only instances of this kind of large-minded liberality. MR. WHITWORTH'S BRPRIPACTION.

OUR PARIS LETTER. (ruom oun ows COHRUPOIMINT.) PARIS, THITIVIDAT EVES!!+,;, I remember noticing at the time of the diett::. bances in Bordeaux that M. Grazier de Caasagnac . , journal the Pays accused the prefect, Baron Dahill bort, of supineness and called for his dismissal . This prefect remembering that Caasagnac has after been the penholder of the Tuileries, and fearing that he might be again, became uneasy about lui place, and wrote an exculpatory letter to the Minister of the Interior. M. Pinard, in a letter the publication of which he autho rises, has given the prefect complete abso lution. It is amusing to see how this minister, who but yesterday was a small country public pro secutor, speaks in the tone of his present high commission to an old prefect, and a man of rank. " I do not wonder," he says, " that you were moved by the attacks made upon you, and you did quite right to appeal to me, your natu ral judge.' I have conscientiously inquired into your conduct, and I the less he3i tate to render you full justice, because I had found any trace of weakness in your attitu.i I should have been extremely severe with ;co- - After then stating that in his opinion the preiett in dealing with the entente hit the just median', was indulgent and passive at a time when oct:on might have given undue importance to a move ment which there was good ground to hope would oome to nothing, and firm and resolute tLe moment order was seriously troubled, M. Pinard concludes his patronising letter as follows : Yon may, therefore, be perfectly easy about the attack., upon you, and you will return to the department of the Haute Garonne, with the certainty of finding the cosi. dense of the inhabitants as well as my cooperation Ind support. Yon will continue to serve the Emperor's to vornment in the spirit of its sentiments and resolutions You are well aware that the more this government is pre occupied with the interests of all classes, the more imps. delay it shows in the administration of the counts the 1110011 gradually develops.. public liberties, tto more it must show itself Arm and decided against who attempt to beside or disoolve (tramper) a patriots and devoted population. . . . . The Emperor to-day signed decrees convokins the electors for the four vacant seats in the Dor. dogne, Seine Infifrieure, Somme, and Tarn for the first week in May. This is pregnant confirmation of the news that no general elections will take place this year. Some of these seats are likely to be hotly contested. The troubles at Grenoble and Rheims hare been followed by some at a very little place indeed— Yvetot, in Normandy, where the Echo d' Yretot— (who would have thought Beranger's famous htee kingdom strong enough to have a journal of its own 7)-records that "seditious placards" have bee" posted.
