Goss ilex will find his uew office tto sine cure. Pressure from without, and bland obstruc tiveness within will make the task of presiding over the department at Owydyr 'louse both onerous and unsatisfactory, and there are speeiul circumstances connected with the great consti tuer'.l Mr. Cost HEN represents which will make some of the labours before him unusually difficult. Equalisation of rates is a point upon which he will bate to take action, and the authorities of the City of London arestrongly and naturally opposed to the alterations aimed at by the highly-burdened and porerty-weighted parishes. Indeed, equalisation of rating without uniformity of assessment, would introduce as great hardships and anomalies as are in existence now. The City of London has been reassessed during the last few years, and its valua tion been raised, in some cases, some hundreds Ter cent. Equalisation with parishes which Aare tot been similarly treated would, its authorities maintain, be little short of eon tiacation ; and while Bethnal-green groans under inequalities which keep its pauperism chronio, the City, with great show of reason. would consider itself ill-treated by any repre sentative who would propose to augment the burdens on a Louse which has so recently, and at so much cost and trouble, been set in order. Mr. Holtman' liaany's boasted measure having lived through the effervescent enthusiasm which greeted it at first, is found to be unjust in practice, costly in application, an irritating blister to the rate payers,: and a loubtful benefit to the poor. Here, again, is work for Mr. °egoism. The enormots and, as many practical philanthropists in sist, unnecessary expenditure in bricks and mortar now being enforced under Mr. Venus's measure baa arogsed a Litter feeling of discontent among classes who are impatient of hardship, and accus tomed to make their voices heard. The sick Poor Association, which did good work in its time, seems to have died of inanition, and the dissatis fied spirits-1u other words, all Interested in parochial matters, either as conservators of abuses or advocptes for reform, have no recognized mouth piCen through which to express the grievances under which they groan. The result is that independent deputation and memorials ars being already ar ranged, and the new President of the Poor-law Board will be greeted with demands for redress almost Moos is he takes hie Net.

The merest outside acquaintance with Poor-law matters is suffioient to indicate the state of affairs upon which the new President of the Poor-law Board will enter. Mr. VILLIIRS freed our London streets of the homeless wanderers who formerly slept upon their pavements ; he met the Sick Poor Association fairly, and so far as was consistent. with his position put himself at its head, and is denounood as " indolent " and " indifferent" in consequence. Mr. FARNALL gave those interested in workhouse reform the benefit of his official experience and oonntenance, and was sent ignominiously away directly Mr. HARDY came into office, and Mr. Futstisto's counsels prevailed. Dr. JosErn Boozes, the medical officer of the Strand Union, brought the shameful abuses and cruelties of the workhouse ho attended to light ; and was dismissed by the Poor-law Board for— save the mark ! not agreeing with his guardians. President or inspector, government official or parochial functionary—all fall somehow into disfavour if they once ally themselves on the side of economy to the ratepayer and fair troatmont to the poor.

The Sizezter's Gazette of Berlin, in reply to sev;ral articles in the Debate relative to the prsteesded con tort:noes which were bald on the subject of a guaran tee of the actual state of things in Germany by the foreign powers, publishes an article of a semi official character, declaring that it would be a presumptuous pretension to impose the oontrol of foreignere on the German nation, and one, doubt less, which would provoke the national anger of tho fatherland ; to an aggressive coalition of the various cabinets, it adds, Germany would answer by a defensive federation. The Gazette believes that the project in question is of Austrian origin, and finds in this circumstance proof that the war ! party is socking to give a new form to its wishes.

TM= have been several " infancy asses " in the courts of late, or, in other words, cases in which a tradesman brings an action against a young man under 21 years of age to recover a sum in many in stances almost equal, and in others exceeding the total income or allowance of the " infant," owing to the plaintiff on account of gooda which by no stretch of fancy could be included among the necessaries of an " infant's" life. One of the most curious of these cases was tried two days since in the Queen's Bench. A Glasgow bookseller had, through a travelling agent, sold a young under graduate at Cambridge an illustrated Bible. valued sit fifty guineas. The defendant was an " infant " of good family, the son of a clergy man, connected, on his mother's side, with the noble house of BENTINCK. Ifs had a fortune of :Jinni., giving him an income of 3001. a year. Ile was induced to stile-tribe for this illustrated Bible, which is described its " of folio size, full of large illustrative prints on thick paper•, extremely heavy and, tuaysi% , and bound in a style of great inagniti. enc.., with clasps and every pns " bible accessory '• only 170 copies of it printed!, and it was sent to his rooms. Shortly after his guardians bemuse aware that he was deeply in debt, and employed an attorney to wind up his affairs at Cambridge. The attorney proposed to pay the rest of his debts, but declined this magnificent Bible, and offered to send it back to the Glasgow bookseller, who refused to receive it. It was urged for the plaintiff that, though the defendant was under age when be signed the prospectus for the Bible, the book itself had not been actually delivered to him before he was of age. The connexion of the defendant with the BENTINCH family was also dwelt upon in mutual justification of the infant and the tradesman. The Loan ClllElJuerrics, in sum ming up the case, stated with his usual breadth and chorness the common sense which should determine the minds of the jury in such a matter. " The " object of the law as to infancy," he said, " in to " afford a reasonable protection to young men at the " outset of life before they have bad experience of ' • the value of money." Those who know anything of life at the Universities can tell how systematically and pertinaciously young men are beset by cormo rants who tempt them into every sort of extrava gances• in the hope of being ultimately paid by the father, or, where the young man has " es " peetations," out of his future estate. It is a gums of hazard for the tradesman, who, in order to cover bad debts, is obliged by the nature and necessity of his business to charge a fancy price for articles of luxury and extravagance. In this way scores of young men, for whom evprflit c'ebt le tveemaire, are, as the Chief Justice observed, " crippled or even ruined " for life," year after year, at the Universities. In the present instance the jury found for the defendant, and sent the dealer in magnificent Bibles empty away. It is only by depriving tradesmen who speculate on the ignorance and folly of their youthful customers of all security for payment that this lamentable system of credit can be stopped at its source. But the remedy itself is not entirely harmless in its effects, since it sometimes saves the father's pocket at the cost of the son's honesty and honour. Nor are the local tradesmen (who are by no means the worst tempters) without excuse. On every recog nised commercial principle they are warranted in selling in the dearest market, and in suiting the peculiar tastes and habits of their customers. They have only six months' sunshine in the year to make hay in, and are very much at the mercy of the University authorities, who have the power of " diacommuning " them, which is tantamount to cutting off their college customers. flees " infancy," cases neel never occur at the Universi ties if the Heads of Colleges or Halls, instead of " discommuning " occasional offenders would, so far as their jurisdiction extends, insist on cash payments, and absolutely forbid credit to under graduates. _ TEE PARLIAMENT AND TER .VINISTRE TO-DAY the Eighth Parliament summoned by her IlLutirrs assembled in Westminster Palace. The actual business was confined to the election of a Speaker, and the swearing in of the members of the House et Commons. To the election of Mr. EVZLYII DExisoN as Speaker no opposition was made—the leading statesmen on both sides of the House, as well as the members gene rally, acknowledging the' dignity and im partiality with which he has hitherto ful filled his high and often delicate functions. The acceptance of office by the members of Mr. OLAJesTONa'tl administration prevented several of them from being present in the House of Com mons, and they will have to be re-eleztecl before they can take their seats.

The Dmcs urges the necessity of snob an appoint ment to the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland as shall coo ciliate Irish opinion, and at the same time illustrate the general policy of the administration in the domestic government of the sister island. Our contemporary can not believe that there is any difficulty in finding a person suitable for the office and willing to undertake it, except PO for as it may have arisen from a false step already half taken; and it that be the case, it is impossible to insist too strongly upon the propriety, or rather the necessity, of correcting an error at whatever cost of annoyance to persons one would be unwilling to pain, rather than involve the government in injurious consortium through fatal persistency in a first mistake.

The &maitre/ rye that the men who form the backbone of the government—its strength in debate, its admiaLstra tire power, its hold on the reepts:t of the country and of the liberal party—are the IMO who hold the second-rate and third-rate offices ; while the great prizes are chiefly allotted to men whose long official esperience has not de veloped any oorreeponding capacity, and te.tifles rather to their influence than to their genius.

The Deily Nitro remarks that the question really at iBl4lO at the meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge was the royal supremacy rnsme in dependence ; the principle on which the established church of Kngland is founded versoss that on which unestablialted churches, such as that of South Africa, are based. The victorious party on Monday represent that large majority of churchmen who are willing to accept the consequences of establishment, to acknowledge the civil authority in church matters, and to recognise the head of the nation as the head of the church. The detested party are acme who would make the church a self-governing institution— living its ova independent life, and existing independently of governments ae a "kingdom not of this world." To the one it seems only to be the part of honesty and duty to accept the restraints as well as the advantage* of es tablishment ; the other is ready to give up the material advantages of union with the state in order to secure the spiritual benefits of liberty. - The Rear °Dienes that if any unhappy geologist had appeared in the roc,m, or any arithmetician who could not prove the sums in Numbers. it is more than probable he would have sustained serious bodily harm.

Owing to the mediation of the foreign consuls, both the insurgents and the government party at Cadiz have agreed to an armistice of 4 , 1 hours, for the purpose of burying their dead and affording sufficient time for the women and eliil.lren to leave. The armistice will end to-morrow, and a vigo rous attack in conjunction with the men-of-war will thin be made upon the insurrectionary forces. The frigate Tetuan and two other frigates have brought their broadsides to bear on the port, ready to bombard Cadiz should the insurgents continue resistance. The Mediterranean squadron has also received orders to return to Cadiz. The insurgents have opened the convict prison. and distributed arms to 00 Mons there confined.
