B. and to S.E., Insignificant as the session was in regard to Achievement, and as to any encouragement to Liberals in and out of Parliament, it was a season of strong emotions, frequently renewed ; and it was, therefore, a session sure to be remembered better than some that were more fertile in deeds. The Houses met in mourning ; they met also in rejoicing that the immediate danger of war was at an end. There was some strong feeling about the Education question ; more about the menacing Lancashire distress ; and most of all about the question of our bearing in the American case. Then came the news of the raids of the Merrimac and the Monitor, throwing into con fusion our ideas and purposes about the defence of the country. The lively controversy between Mr. COBDEN and Lord PALIMISTON was an evi dence of the excitement existing at the moment. Then arose the perplexity what to think and how to act about Canada, after the re fusal of the Canadian Parliament to pro vide for the defence of the country in the mode and degree proposed by the Government. It has since become well understood that there were reasons for declining to peas the particular Bill quite apart from any unwillingness in the colony to do its duty to itself and to the mother country ; but the first impression was painfuL There was nothing in the session to be proud of, or to build any political hope upon ; and the Legislature closed its work as gravely as it began it. Mr. Vimasas held out the hope that the Lancashire distress would diminish from October onwards, through abundant arrivals of cotton from India ; but few were so sanguine, and the mem bers dispersed, hoping that the Rate-in-Aid Bill would prove a saving resource, but aware that before they met again the country would be deal ing with a calamity comparable only to the Irish famine and fever. The prospects of the harvest had been darken ing since the early spring. When the Houses rose for Easter it was remarked that there had been no cessation of rain and fog in London for six weeks. In the blossoming season of April and May, and again in the blooming time of the cereal crops, high winds and blighting weather cut off the promise of the year. A few effective fine days in ripening time, and then at harvest, saved a portion of the crops ; and the bad yield of the wheat and barley is compensated for by the pro. digious amount sent us from America, in the ab sence of the ordinary commerce of the two coun tries, and under the embarrassment of the high price of gold iu the United States. Thus we have been spared the worst consequences of an ungenial spring and summer. The weather has, however, remained gloomy and stormy to the last. In October it frustrated the last hope of saving much of the oat crop iu Scotland ; it pre vented the Qualm and her family from returning home from Germany for above a week; and the hurricane of the 19th caused fearful disasters at sea, while the rains flooded lands which should have been under tillage in several counties of England, as in various districts of the Continent. The bitter frosts early in No vember showed us what a task we had in hand in preventing the Lancashire sufferers from perishing with cold. Milder days followed ; but there has been stormy weather up to the last week of the year, strewing our shores with wrecks. In the spring there was a sudden revival of agrarian crime in Ireland. The world was shocked by hearing of murder upon murder of landowners, agents, and tenants. A special session was appointed for the trial of the persons arrested ; but the old trouble still exists—the difficulty of obtaining evi dence, or any support of law and justice, from a superstitious and intimidated people. There have been other vexations about Ireland, from the revival of open religions animosity. The Belfast riots were provoked by Protestant bigotry, and some other demonstrations would not have bees made, as everybody believes, if Mr. CARD WZLI. had been Chief Secretary to this day. We did our duty at the time in warning Lord PAL amairrox of the peril of appointing Sir R. Pm to an office requiring the very qualities is which he is deficient, and offering temptation to the in- The only measure of importance recommended in the Royal Speech was that for facilitating the Transfer of Land, and it became one of the few notable achievements of the session. It remains a disputed point among the lawyers and the land owners whether the Act will work ; but there can be no question of its having began the reform in the treatment of land as a saleable article, which will be carried through before long. The debates on the Education Minute ended in a spiritless and mischievous compromise which the country may yet rue ; but it may be hoped that the mere stir occasioned by the question may have acted as a warning against the danger of raising up vested interests adverse to those of the nation. The main question is, in fact, deferred—to be argued again at a greater disadvantage by the Government of the day and the friends of • really effective popular education. As for the rest, Gloucester and Wakefield were restored to electoral privileges ; recognition of the American Confederacy was refused ; the Thames Embankment was secured, after a debate far from creditable to certain parties. The most conspi cuous and practically mischievous disgrace of the session was the Game Bill, which shows that the evil spirit of territorial tyranny and selfish ness could still be awakened by the mere mention of game. One or two of the representatives of town constituencies kept the House sitting till 4 a.m., and used all the forms of the House to defer the final vote ; but it was in vain ; and the police are now to be employed in the protection of game. We were consoled at first by the assurance that the Bill would not work, but the proceedings of certain country justices on game cases during the autumn have shown how little hope there is, under this Act, of peace in our villages, or justice to anybody, peasant or poacher, who may chance to be accused by the police and tried by game preserving magistrates. In the Upper House, the Loan CHANCELLOR carried his Bill for the abolition of the Queen's Prison, which was of no further use under the new Bankruptcy Act. The Insolvent Court was closed on the 27th of June; there has been a Our losses by death this year have been re markably few, though some men of mark have fallen both in this country and abroad. Of the latter Count NMMELRODE has gone at last. Our own great loss in the political class was Lord CANNING, but we have lost also Sir THOMAS WYSE, who was one of the earliest and most effective promoters of popular education.- Sir Br-NT-TA/0N HAwss was once a good Liberal, and is remembered for that. Two of the RICARDOS and EDWARD GLIMON WAKEFIELD did society good service as political economists ; Foams MAcx/c/s -zu will be remembered for his Scotch Temperance Act of doubtful virtue; and Mr. BLANEY for his championship of any class of poor, of children, of the helpless in any way on whom law or custom bore hardly. Colonel BAIRD SNrrn's name is bound up with the regeneration of India, as that of Sir Joan 'Nous with her rescue from the wreck of mutiny. Gene ral Blares, the brother of Lord ELGIN, is more known as the Prince of WALEs's governor than in other relations in which his merits were not inferior. The Church has lost two Archbishops—of ARMAGH and of CAMTERBITRY ; and one of the significant signs of the times is the difficulty encountered in filling the ecclesiastical offices vacated in conse quence. The headship of Eton is so nearly con nected with the Church that we must notice here the death of its Provost, Dr. "'AWE/MY, so long associated in all minds with the school. The aged Pima BAatow, as fine a type of the mathemati cian as our age could show, has died in his function at Woolwich. Sir B. BRODIE, the head of the medical profession in England, and Mr. WALLEY, a very active member of it, have departed. The most restless spirit among us was, perhaps, Dr. WOLFF ; and he has gone to his long sleep. He will live in the traditions of many Eastern lands. Admiral Sir Jams Ross, the Antarctic discoverer, is gone ; and • pair of The Marquis and Marchioness of Carmarthen have left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley.square, for Rushmore Lodge, Salisbury. The Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter are posing the soma in the south of France. The Earl of Fife has left Grosvenor-place on a visit to Viscount Powerecourt, at his *eat in Ireland. Her ladyship has left town for Tunbridge Wells. The Countess Dowager of Westmoreland and Lady Rose Fane left Portman-square yesterday, on a visit to the WI and Countess of Clarendon, at the Grove, near Watford. - In default of other news, I will give you the political pro gramme of the ministry, as expressed by its principal mem bers to those who have the honour of their intimate aoquaintance. The principle of the external policy of the Farini cabinet is the absolute independence of Italy. It is averse to close connexion with any power, but wishes to be on good terms with all. Italy is now too Wong to be treated as a nullity ; she will therefore patiently await the coarse of events, and choose her alliances according to circunntanoes. Italy relinquishes none of her aspirations, but will not attempt to precipitate the march of events. She will hold herself ready to profit by every opportunity that may offer, without binding herself by any previous engagement. Bet the ministry has no in tention of breaking with Francs, which it still regards es Italy's best ally. As to home affairs, the ministry will look for support to the parliament alone, in which it is con vinced that its whole strength lies. It considers itself es the true expression of the Chamber of Deputise, to which 'lt owes its birth, and it will not belie its origin. The ultra parties will be firmly kept within bounds ; but if eases. tional measures should prove necessary it will not hesitate to apply to the chambers with the confident hope of obtaining them. 3f. Peruzzi, who must be regarded as the real heed of the cabinet, has the utmost faith in the parliamentary sys tem. He is convinced that the full development of that system is the best means of consolidating the unity of Italy. Of course no effort& will be spared to strengthen the administration, to restore the finances, and to organise the new kingdom. But that thought must be common to ell 1 possible ministries. The practical application of the mea sures that may be taken will aloes enable us to judge of their merit.

According to Mussulroan custom observed in Egypt, his highness wished to construct the tomb which is one day to receive him, and he has chosen the anniversary of his birth , day to lay the first stone of that edifice, which will be I raised in the enclosure of the citadel. It is there that the Viceroy has resided for the last few days, but after the cere mony he will return to Cairo, where he s ill receive the congratulations of the Egyptian dignitaries and of the Euro peans with whom he is more or lose intimate."

According to the capitulation of Nauplis all those who wished to go could embark on board of either the French or English men-of-war which were in the har bour. 173 availed themselves of the offer, and 170 of them visit ma beard the Pelican.
