Bngluh Surnamees, and their Place in Ma Teutonic Fansity. By AO DIRT FERGUSON. Rontledge. If Wordsworth wrote poems on the naming of places, we see no reason why Mr. Ferguson should not write prose on the naming of men. Either at tempt is legitimate, and to be commended, but espe cially the latter, inasmuch as natural scenery fails in iuterest when compared with the living man. The subject which Mr. Ferguson has selected is an old one. The ancients invented • science called Onomantica. "They cut up," saysthe elder Dimusli i , "the numeral letters of names, and Achilles was, therefore, fated to vanquish Hector from the nume ral letters in his name amounting to a higher num ber than his rival's." They believed in lucky names. The Emperor Severe. very philosophically bore with the frailties of his wife—her name was Julia. Plato was a great admirer of beautiful names, and Socrates thinks it worthy a father's care to give fine same. to his children. The father of Tristram Bhudy was of a similar opinion. " How many Caesars and Pompey., he would say, by mere inspi ration of the names, have been rendered worthy of them' And how many, he would add, are there who would have done exceedingly well in the world bad not their characters and spirits been totally depressed and Nicoderous'd into nothing." The old gentleman firmly believed" that there was a strange kind of magic bias which good or bad name,, sa he called them, irresistibly im pressed upon our characters and conduct." We read in Montaigne—" It is really convenient to have such • name as is easy of pronunciation and easy to be remembered, by reason that kings and other great persons do by that means the more easily know and the more hardly forg et us ; and indeed, of our own servants we more frequently employ those whose names are most ready upon the tongue. I myself have seen Henry the Second when he could not for his heart hit of a gentleman's name of our country of Gascony, and moreover, was fain to call one of the Queen's maids of honour by the general name of her family, her own being so difficult to pronounce or remember." A. additional authority we may quite John Wilkes, the hero of an unheroic age. Hs says :—" The list City poet was Eikanah Settle. Than is something in names which we cannot help feeling. Now, Elkanah Settle mounds so queer, who can expect much from that name ? We should have no hesitation to give it for John Dryden in pre ference to Elkanah Settle." Still more may be urged with respect to names. Fuller tells us—An opulent citizen of London of the name of John Cutts was ordered by Queen Elizabeth to receive the Spanish Ambassador, but the latter complained grievously of the insult done him by being sent to a man with so short a name. Had not Cutts's hospi tality been copious, his mere name might have been • eases helli, for the Spaniards in those days thought very much of dignified names, and believed with Montaigne. " Dona Gramedan, Quadragan, Arms ellen were evidently men of another stamp than Peter, Giles, and Michael." Richardson, who gloated over every line he penned, with more than an au thor's vanity, makes his heroine write of Sir Charles Orandison, " You know his noble name, my Lucy." Bat the reader must not imagine Mr. Ferguson is similarly sentimental. Comparative Etymology is a science, and science is exempt from such weak nesses; and Mr. Ferguson, it is evident, has made groat proficiency in his favourite science. His °b illet is to vindicate the antiquity, and to assert the nobility of our English names—to explain their meaning, and to assign their place in the Teutonic family. He believes, in opposition to the generally received opinion, that • very large proportion of them are as old as Anglo-Saxon times; and that not a few remount to the highest Teutonic anti quity. To compare them with other names of the urns family, ancient and modern, is a feature essential to the investigation. Oar au thor deems the Directory of London "perhaps the crowning wonder of that wonderful place." He is amazed as he studies its two thousand two hundred sad aixty pages of names. In all these names he ems manifold histories. " There are," he enthusias tically exclaims, "deeds of forgotten valour that are summed up in a word ; there are trivial inci dents that have named generations of men • there are good Christians that are called after heathen gods; there are gentle women that are called after savage brute! ; there are names on the signs of Re gent-street that were given in the unhewn forests of Germany." Oar industrious brethren in that land of learning and meerschaums have already several works on this subject. With the exception of Mr. Lover, whose book on English surnames will always remain a standard book of reference, Mr. Ferguson is almost alone in the field. The follow ing is a summary of our author's conclusion as to nit °Juane or XXOLISH I have crated that the gtih;;;Unt .-. l4ll.;gfirit -- imenames is Anglo-Saxon. But there are in tact several which are in a sense older than Anglo-Saxon—which have come to us, as It were, through the Anglo-Saxon, sad for the etymons of which we must refer to older languages, or to cognate dialect's which contain older roots. Such names are Tate sad Dodd, corrtspondieg with the Anglo-flaxen Tata and Dodds. Though these were both common Anglo-Saxes names, yet we end no etymon for them in that language, and have to Fehr, in the owe ore to the Old Nero., and in the other to the Old Friesic. At the setae time, from the manner of their use, Si nic-namee, or in place of other names, we have TOOMBS for supposing that they were applied with • mean ing, though no such Anglo-Saxon words have come down to us. Such Daum are also Atte, Atty, Atto, Guth. atta, a father—Abbe, Abbey, Abeon, Ooth. she, a man. These, and airy more such, are of the very highest antiquity— the wind Attila the Hun is a diminutive of the one—the ism at Abbot, tho son of Hengist, is (I think) a diminu tive of the other. The former of these again seems to have been used with a messing —there was an Archbishop of Canterbury whose regular name was Esdalge, but who was ly called :Ed, a title of respect, se I think, signifying rb ee But it is probable that there were names, 11•1112 In Anglo-Baxon dram which were handed down from garners time to generst lon, just se name. are at present, with , ,nt any eigamkog being attached to them. Agoin—we hare lames older than Aeglo-firon, yet still with oder etymon in that language, and even in English. The mane Knife hag no unfamiliar sound—yet it is sixteen mmtsnies old. And Hugest', its diminutive, is only a trifle of two onsturios younger. Cates appears as the name of a Golide king of the third century in lorouidea. And Clark!' as the mune of a Ooth of the fifth century in the semi au thor. Thin there is a Frankish elemaut in our nomenclature. It Is alasinsi in such name sia,Chad, Chadwick, Chadwio for Beim*" Chaddock for HaddOrk, Childers for Ender, Chill ier he Bilious, Charmas fir Berman, perhaps Clothier for Lew*" and Luther. The last corresponds with an Old O. Clotho, and may be the same name u that of Cio tti% me el Mein. Bence also probably Chiller, foe the old Boman Ilildiwara, and Children, corresponding with as dui German Childeenria for Hilderana. S. likewise Charrott for Harriott ;here srmy.) Charinto was • Freakish name of the lharth century. Ben of these names may have come to us indirectly, thews\ the French. Though the family same. el France hue waver. eo far as I know, been invoitigsted otherwise than saperficially, they appear to contain a large German eihmsat Is common with our own.

The former of them two cleans of warm cannot be older than the period at whkh surnames became bereditary—s period not earlier than the Conquest, or if earlier, only in some very exceptioeal mem. The latter—those derived from ancient baptismal names— may remount to the highest Teutonic antiquiiy. Pm them names were not, like surname., coined se the commies re• quired, but handed down from generation to generation, haps even in some cases, es I have previously without any reference to their meaning. Some of Mr. Ferguson's facts are curious. We find the large family of Browns under the head of names derived from or connected with Teutonic mythology. This patronymic seems to be derived from a title of Odin. Its meaning appears to be, having marked or prominent eye brows. Our author grows eloquent :—" Talk of com ing over with the Conqueror! the first Browns came over with Hengist and Horse, the second with Half dens and Hastings." Our readers, with pain, will find in this illustrious catalogue little reference to the Smiths. Jones, too, and Robinson are, we regret to state, altogether overlooked; yet surely the exist ence of such names is a fact which no reader of the "London Directory" can ignore. Of the Smiths all that Mr. Ferguson says is that the commonness of the name "is sufficiently accounted for, as the term we applied to everything which required hammer ing, even to poetry. Not a word has Mr. Ferguson for the genteeler Smyth's; and Smithy and Smithers have good reason to complain of similarly unfair treatment. Our two comic inseparable', Huggins and Maggio., are from Odin's two ravens. Lock is a name derived from the principle of evil. Bill is no vulgar contraction of William, bat the name of one of the minor goddesses of the Scandinavian my thology. The surname of the present Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, is traced to the dwarf', but our author apologetically observes:—"The dwarfs seem to have been far superior to the giants, some of them being celebrated for wisdom, but others for their wonderful mechanical skill." Pro fessor Holloway may well be proud of his name—it has its origin in the old Norse Ballo (hero). The bibthorpes are from one of the minor Scandinavian goddesses. Ingram— and we dare say the member for Boston is of a similar opinion—implies strength. The Shelley, are from the Scilflngs, an ancient Scandinavian tribe: the name denotes—let Westminster rejoice ' in spiring fear.' The renowned Alaric still survives in the humble, and far from awe-inspiring, Aldrich. The Barnacles have an appropriate origin—Barnakarl, or Barnakal, was a surname or a nickname given to a celebrated Norwegian pirate named Olver, who, setting his face against the then fashionable amuse ment of teasing children on spears, was christened by his companions, to show their sense of his odd scruples, Barnakarl, " baby's old man." We may still talk of the blood of all the Howards; one of the heroes of the Niebelungen Lied was a Haworth, described as a King of Denmark. Havelock (sea sport) was an appropriate name for one of the old Danish sea rovers. Peel is derived from the Anglo- Saxon pl.—a dart, or arrow. We trust the electors of North Warwickshire will not be angry, but really we get no more flattering etymology for their worthy senior representative than the following:— " Spooner seems to be from Ang..Saxon splinere— enticer, allurer ; and Spon we might p resume to be 'pop (spoon), the participle, allured . " Spoon and spooney are connected by Mr. Ferguson, under the same well-known name. But we must nesse, or the raider will be wearied. We cannot pledge ourselves to all Mr. Ferguson has written. There are many minor blunders. Lowes toft is not in Sussex; baiter we should translate =t, rather than countryman. Our author is too tic; we have too much assertion and too little proof; and, after all, a great deal that we have here is but ingenious guessing, reminding us of the sleights of language of the old grammarians. We would not underrate the pains, or the learning, or the enthusiasm, of Mr. Ferguson ; but we cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that in the pos session of these very qualities there is a fruitful source of error, as he would thus explain and male clear what ordinary writers would suffer to remain untouched. Still the work is a valuable contribution to the scienos of Etymology, and will serve as a useful book of reference for some time to come. ROYAL SURREY OAIDENB. Yesterday, a new attraction was added to the already considerable bill of Lore which the managers of this pleas of resort offer to the public. Rightly conceiving that after the way curiosity has been excited with regard to every thing Preach, by the Cherbourg Pee, a mimic fair, such se is to be met witleacrose the Channel, would not be unacaept- able to their pstrone, they have proceed e d w ith oimm enda tila vigour to carry out the ides. A host of stalls, peep-shows, and other matters which the rustic mind regards as marvels, have been provided ; and the visitor Is invited to consider himself In France, with such aids as bits of Norman costume, and soaps of French can afford to his imagination. Nor must an Inscription be forgotten to which great prominence is given—. Here vs spike Anglin." The number of adablishments bearing the legend "From London" is also very great, and would encourage the belief that a at of unusual enterprise has come over the race of Shorts and Codling. One thing, however, the managers have not beef able to Import into their fair, and that is piety, which we are Informed is en attribute of the genuine pima. The merry makers of yesterday took their pastime se sadly as their fore fathers of five hundred years ago, when Sir John Froiaaut first became aware of our national characteristic.

This morning was leaned, as a return to parlia ment, a copy of a letter addressed by Sir Charles Fostleke, to the trustees of the National Gallery, defending Mr. Otto Musdier from certain statements which were recently made in parliament during the dismission which ended in the suppression of the oaks of travelling agent for the National Gallery. 81r Charles does not admit that the employment of a travelling agent, has, necessarily, any greater effect in edging the price of pictures than the presence of an addi tional bidder in an auction room can be said to hare such an elfeet—it bring strictly tree that, with the exception of the Pissed picture, the agent referred to has not been directed to exceed ordinary and average pricer , . Could a comparison be instituted between the prime given by primae colleraen and theme paid by the !sabots of lrte years, the result, he says, would show the truth of this statement. He further write* With regard to the pikes of picture', when It is consi dered that the best examplag are being gradually ebeortel into public pilgrim, and that the knowledge of art, and the passion for collecting its beet specimens Lave of late years earadl it is quite tntelligible—the conditi o n s o f a nt dig supply sod an incremiag demand being sr ranted to produce their usual result—that the prices at really good Omura must continue to rise. The removal of. laik spat censor, I conceive, effect the progress of sueh ewes, and I must still maintain that a better method outset be de vised than to employ • competent person to mod out pietism which, whea emu by the director, may be purchased or not, as the director's enthority end reepreisibility.

BERNAL OSBORNE AND HIS CO.VBTITUANTB AT DOM. On Friday evening last this hon. and gallant guithaisa, who, ae will be remembered, occupied the poet ef Secretary to the Admiralty la the Palmerston and Aber dews adshilatrutiona, met a party of hie constituent. at the Bond Oak Inn, Dover, in order to communicate to them the benefit of hie views on the state of public affairs, and the position of parties, as well u to justify his political career since the tut general election. Mr. Frtrirts occupied the chair. Mr. Oesoarn, whose reception was very hearty, having, is the grit 'nuance, dealt with certain topics of exclusively local interest, aoudad to say :—I shall now, with your permission, make a few iibeetvations upon matters of a gene ral interest. Great changes hive taken plaoe since I had last the plea/ars of meeting you. I bad then the happiness of being sefoompaided by my hen. and gallant colleague, whose conduct in sing like • true Briton to the poet of danger, I cannot aufiluently eulogise. (Cheers.) He has gone to a distant land to do tattle with the enemies of his country, and I carol help feeling that It le much to his credit and to yours, that you hare so kindly accorded to him leave of ab autos for that purpose. Bat, as I said, peat chirps have been brought about. I wee thin amongst what ere called the " Ins," I am now numbered amongst the " Our" (Laughter.) I however am caroled for the change, by the t os ep i n t i liat the enterprises of my having been tad from the zeinistasial to the benches has not lest an your favour. Witt I trust that in my new situation I shall be able to_prome to you that I am now. as I was when • member of her Majesty's government, your Mend, and that I have your interests and tree of the country at large as much at heart now as at any former period of my life. (Cheese.) But, in order to dis cover the causes of the change to which I have alluded, it is necessary that we should trace back the occurrence, of the few months preceding the past session. We all know that the last general election was based upon • false issue. There was then a cry of " Palmerston;" which I think meant, in the minds of those who started as candidates fir the favour of constituencies upon the credit of his name, simply Gila, " Every one for himself and Pelmets ton for us all." (Cheers and laughter.) That was the prevailing sentiment at the time, and it bee been, I em afraid, bat too literally carried out; for having watched the propose of affairs in the present House of Commons, I am disposed to believe that • great many persons have been admitted to sets in parliament on the faith of the cry which I have just mentioned, who entertain no decided opt:ions (hear, hear)—who are latitudinarians in political principle, who are indifferent to party ties, and who, like all parliamen tary shiners, are animated but by one strong feeling—a horror of a dissolution. (Cheers and laughter.) That is the sort of parliament which it appears to me has been col lected together under the influent» of the "Palmerston" ory. (Hear, hear.) Permit me now to say a few words in refe rence to that noble lord. I am no idolater of his. I never was his parasite while in office ; still less ern I con descend to be his detractor in the hour of his misfortune. (Cheers.) I thought, and I still think, that his popularity was somewhat exaggerated; but I caned at the same time help feeling that his fall from power has been in some mea sure undeserved. (Cheers.) The unfortunate meet with but few sympathisers in this world. It has been maid that " Men's evil measures live in bra s, Their good are writ In water.' (Hear, bear.) And It has, lam afraid, been forgotten that the country owes 80030 gratitude to Lord Palmerston. (Hear, hear.) He ought, however, not to lose sight of the fact Qat the old statesman—for he is unfortunately now an old man—was the only person who could be found to stick to his colours in • moment of pat peril. He, when his country was engaged in a great and dangerous war, was the only man who stood fast at the helm, and rhea you complain of 10010 of the ap pointments which be has Ml* you meet beer in mind that rct, and recollect also that those appointments have been oast upon him, inasmuch as he was to agrest extent deserted by all other stablemen. (Hear, hear.) I have deemed it but just to give espreselon to those sentiments, became I am of opinion that but smell coasidention had been shown to the virtues of Lord Palmeratoa, end that much enmity bee been attracted by his merits. We all know that " Tits sunshine at the falling statesman's door Pours oa the morning worshipper no more." But although I never (spat to serve Lord Palmerston again—notwithstanding that it was previous to the downfall of his dministr licst my intention, for reasons which it is unnacesury to disclose, to resign the oaks I lad in h— a circumstance which, as it was known to many of my private Mends, I see no faun why I should conceal from you. Yet I should feel ashamed of myself if I were to &Wide from tarring some tribute of praise to a nobleman who has now ceased to be muter of his country, and from making some attempt to defend him from the attacks of those who have assailed his political conduct. (Cheers.) Lord Palmerston then has fallen; and though the causes which led to his downfall are In themselves sutHUntly remarkable, yet I would not feel juatified in entering upon the subject at any length on the present occasion. It is not my intention to detain you by discussing the merits of the Conspiracy Bill. The policy of that measure, I may, however, be permitted to my appears to me to have been at best of a some what questionable character. Still there might have been reasons of sate unknown to the subordinate members of the government which might have justified the introduction of such • measure. But that which I wish more particularly to bring under your notice le the oourse, with respect to It, of the conservative party. Yon must all remember that the Conspiracy Bill was introduced into the House of Commons amid the acclematioes of that party, and that they not only voted in • body In favour of its being brought in, but that some of those who now hold high office in the government went out of their way to prove that it was • perfectly legitimate measure. (Haar, bear.) Well, what subsequently took phioe ? At a moment when distrust in public men so much prevails, it is desirable that you should mark well their vadat. Whet then, I repeat, waned Why, ten days after the Conspiracy Bill had been introduced said the acchimations of the conservative party, they turned soddenly round, and having that with the essietance of some seventy or eighty liberal members they might defeat the government, they joined them In opposition to the DMIIIIION and effected their object. Now I have nothing to say as to the course which the 70 or 80 gentlemen I have just referred to took upon that occasion. They wen no doubt afinenced by motives which did them honour, but I may observe that I have minor Ewer. mined that whilst the abet of their policy was to knot* oat the brains, their intention was simply to rap the knuckles of the ministers. (Laughter) They had no ides that a new light would have fallen upon that Conservative party which but • few days before had been so unanimous in their support of the bill. But that new light did dawn upon them, and there was an end of the Palmerston administration. Now eo far u I wee personally concerned having been about to take leave of office I annot ay I regarded the event with much regret. I did, however, feel some regret at finding that • noble men, in hie 74th year, who had rendered great services to his country, should all at once be told that those esevlor were fogottetn, while all his demerits should be written In large brazen characters. i„ (Cheers.) Well, Lord Palmerstat defeated, what nest took ace f One would naturally sup pose that Lord J. Russel would have been sent for by her klejeety to form a sew adminiatnnion. Parliamentary etiquette, however, decided in favour of the first proposal being made to the Earl of Derby. Re oonstrooted a ministry, and that niinistry is called Conservative. (A laugh.) Now, that is a long word of font syllables, end ought to have some meaning attached to it, end I for one should be mach obliged to any gentleman In this room, holding conservative opinions, or to any one of theme old toga who had prin ciples, and also knew what those principles were, to tell me what is turd by • onwervative ministry. (Hear, hear.) One thing, et an MN* Y perketly clear, that bar Majesty's present soleleas held like dimply by a tacit skew donment of their creed—• though abeegation of their pod tical faith. (Cheers.) An thaw anwaree of which they ware the ardent supporters while in tion are quietly (Hear, bear.)

Now there Is nothing which you bare ever are la Pieori— whin* I may jot *berm 0 pores, monellon pays me the compliment of eluding to me—that is half so farcical as that bill of Lord Ellenburemith's which wee re ceived with derision from all sides of the Hones of Commons. Of that production I hardly know whet has become. A formal oration was pronounced over it, and it has Paned away. Meantime, in stepped Lord John Russell with his resolutions, and I must confess I think that zoble lord has bean ill-treated by the Royal Humane Society—(laughter)— for if ever • man was entitled to receive • medal from that body, surely his lordship deserves one for having saved a whthe cabled from drowning. (Cheers and laughter.) Had not he stepped is with his drags and Ine-pressr=rs we should sot, I am sfudd, have a conservative ministry m t hat high state of preservation in which we find it at the present moment. (Laughter.) The medal:loco framed at the sug gestion of the noble lord were in some sort disoussod, end eventually s third India bet was introduced. Now, it has been irked why I took no active pert In the debates upon that meow,; the foot is, I was so disgusted with the con duct of the Howe of Commona—with their running first in use direction, end then in mother; their roadinesa to laud Lord Palmerston to the skies when he was in power, and their desertion of him in the moment of his downfall—that I did not feel disposed to enter very warmly into the diacumions upon the Indian mestlan, The bill trensferrireg the government of that comtry to the crown passed into • law ' but I have eneroely meta single person now amongst t those who voted for it who doer sot say it is siren Miura, and thee, before the end of two marsh mut be rephmed by mother measure.

There was indeed one !waren which caused a l ado grumbling among the old tory school—l mean the leather-beeeches end top-boots' school. (Great laughter.) The Property gasifi cation B W was posed into • law ; but the bill was, efter all, • mire show, for it wes accompanied by • measure which was Introduced in a most insidious manner at the fag-end of the souks, and the operation of which will be so to increase the expenses at elections, that notwithstanding the property guathicetioa may be abolished, it will be utterly im possible for any man to contest a county especially, unless he happens to have • large balance at his bankers. (Rear, hear.) Now, I for one, have no wish to see parlia ment converted into • sort of rabbit-warren tor the rich ; 1 am, on the contrary, desirous that it should be open to ell and It is, therefore, that • measure such as that to which have just alluded, I am most strenuously opposed. It involves • retrograde principle, and the tact that there existed so much apathy amongst the members of the liberal party as to render it possible that such a measure could pan, makes me think that the best thing for the country which could happen would be • dissolution, for I am confident the present House of Commons is remarkable, and that many of Ica members had already forgotten the pledgee which they made from the hustings. Well, 1 have given you an instance of conservative measures, making change without program • let ms now furnish you with an example of conssion without grace. For the last 12 or 13 years the liberal party have been constant In their advocacy of that which has been called the coping-stone of religious liberty—the ad minion of Jews to parliament. What course has conserva• the ministry taken with respect to that important question? A bill in reference to it was last session introduced into parliament by Lord J. Russell ; It was discussed as usual, and carried as usual by • large majority bothe Rouse of Commons. It weal rap to the House of Lords— there, after • long debate, It was rejected, and rejected, too, for no petty reasons but apes the highest grounds, namely, that its effect would be to unchristianiss the leg le The present Lord Chancellor, who, when Sir Fred Theedger, stood forth in the House of Commons In opposition to the claims of the Jews, took up • 'most lofty position, end did that which, for • lawyer. was a bold thing—quoted scrip ture In support of his views. Yea, the Lord Chancellor of England, the keeper of the Queen's COMICienCt, bad the teme rity to do this. But be was not satisfied with making a speech in opposition to the claims of the Jews. 'He published it, and I had the good fortune the day before I came down here to have had a copy sent me, not indeed by the noble lord himself, but no doubt by some friend of his. In that speech the following wasp occurs :—" This la no common ' question—it is • question of conscience and religious duty, and I hope that whatever threats may be used to intimidate your lordships yon will proceed in the path of duty, and throw out the bill.' Well, the house mainly at that instigation did throw out the bill. Subsequently, how ever, the House of Commons appointed Baron Rothschild to serve on one of their committees, the Lord Chancellor must then have felt roles. awkward ; but be still continued to advise their lordships not to yield. By some extraordinary conjuring process, however--for conjuring hakes place in the House of Lords as well as elsewhere—a bill was brought in by a supporter of the government, who bad always opposed the claim of the Jews, empowering the Rouse of Commons to seat Baron Rothschild by resolution. This bill was brought into oho Roues of Lords, and sent down to the Roue of Commons with their lordships' reasons for not ad • mining Baron Rothschild to • seat he the legislature. Among those reamer' was one to the effete that the Jerre in rejecting our Saviour were morally unfit to take part in legislating for a Christian community. Well, what think you of • minister who, having pat forward reasoning such as this, should in silence await to the adoption of • measure such as that which afterwards received the support of his government ? 1 can feel a sort of modified reopect for the sincere intelligence of Messrs. Spooner end Newdegate. 1 prefer their consistency to the shabby tergiversation of some conservative converts. I thiek, for instance, that Mr. Walpole, having opposed the claims of the Jews upon the very serious grounds which he advanced, was bound to follow up his opinions by the resignation of his office. The wee remark applies to the Lord Chancel lor, who was, I think, bound to resign his place in the mhdiery, and to prove to the world that he, the keeper of the Queen's conscience, had not a conscience as pliable and yield ing as the woolsack upon which he sits. (Laughter.) For my own part I must eay I am disposed to & iv. no credit to Lord Derby for his import of this mem% It has been thrown like • bone to a dog, sad not passed as a Tameable concession to reasoning beings. We shall, however, go farther next session, and do away with that procedure by resolution ; and I trust that we shall be castled to carry out the principle of allowing every man, provided he be • good citizen and obedient to the laws, to take his seat in parliament, entirely independent of the religious opinions whkh he may profess. Now one would suppose that when this conservative government found themselvee called upon to frame the Queen's speech they would have made some allusion in that document to the Property Qualificatiou Bill and to the bill enabling the Jews to take their seats fa the Rome of Commons—the only two romenres having even the . . appearance of liberalky . which hod bee; paaeed under their supine. Such, however, was not the case. No Queen's speech. as you are aware, is remarkably good Oases, ; but the last was, in this respect, u well as 11111.111111114 a the abeam* of all matter, the worst that was otterPRMIMOMI. (Laughter.) There was no allusion made la ft to the two toessnree to which I Rare alluded; the reason Wog, no doubt, the government wen afraid that in men tioning them they would be offering an affront to the members of thefr own party. It must also be horns is mind that par- Illment wee prorogued by communion, and that the lot of reading the royal speech fell to the Lord Crouicellor, who no doubt would find it sotnewhatawkward to Ondsliosion matfett, topics to delicate. (A laugh.) I may observe, in passing, of that Wide and learned lord, that he Ms blown the trumpet to such an extent of late when dining out that it would bs e sum convenience to himself if he could for the future make see spa sate ecouicas of that larger end more powerful inllon mot called the opbieleide.

ME CASE OP THE LONDON LETTER CIRRIBIB. Yesterday, in the forenoon, the letter carriers 00. npoung the owninittee who a Jew days since had In tim the Postramter-theinsil, Lewd Colchester, upon their memorial complaining of severity of work, inadequacy letpay; and the alleged imperfect and partial p7stera of pro tection rogtised in the chief ofike at St. Martin's-le-Grand, attend= at the secretary"' odic by command of his lordship, as the heed of thedepartmmt. The Right Hon. the Post mastsr-Oeneral himself was not present, he being absent from town ; •but precisely at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, Willits' Holtenhato, seq., the controller of the circulation department of the imbed offioe, was present, in company with Frederic Kelly, Be*, the inspector-geseral of fetter elyetsee, My, ~okenham inkemed the committee that his lordship the Pcernaster-Oeseral had commanded him to ta ken them tif his (Lord Colchester's) pleasure ss to their memorial, by an order which. he would read to them.

Mr. Holcombe= entered into a most friendly and lengthened con versation with the members of the committee, repeatedly ex pressing has astonishment at the statements of hardship made by them, and of which he did not appear to have the slightest cognizance. Altogether the interview was of • most gratifying character, and it is hoped it will had to • renewal of the good feeling between the men and their supe rior officers, and secure the establishment of a morn equitable system of promotion from class to dam than has minted hitherto in this important branch of the public service. DEATH OP THE MARQUIS OP QUEENSBERRY. (From the ihnsfrim Standard.) With feelings of the deepest regret we have to' ennounos the death, by so:ideal, of the Marquis of Queens berry. His lordship arrived in Dumfries from London, on Thursday leak to attend to some business; hers. He was in excellent health and spirits. He proceeded home to Kin mount, sad yesterday afternoon he went out with his gun for the purpose of shooting rabbits. Previous to his going out his lordship asked his eldest daughter to accompany him; but the daughter having stated that she had to go to Hcclefechan Railway station to meet her mother, who was expected from Moffat, he went out alone. His lordahip waa observed by some men working on the grounds to shoot a crow, and they heard afterwards several 'tuna. The last shot they heard was about half-past three o'clock; and about four o'clock the marquis's condos, Hr. Johnstone Douglas, of Lockerbie, and that gentle msn's brother, who have been reading at Glen Stuart, isms Id the men and. asked if they had sem his lord-. ship, and we. &treated by them towards the plain where he had been last men going. The two gentlemen were terribly appalled when, on proceeding • short epee farther, they perceived the body of his lordship prostrate on the gtound, covered with blood. Life wee found to be quite extinct, and there was • small shot wound loam the left breast through the back, in a c= l :l 4 • l ntitig upwards, doubtless the death wound of the hapless young nobleman. The gun was double barrelled, sad one of the barrels empty ; and it is believed that when loading the emptied barrel, the piece had gone off and occasioned the dreadful digester. Probably hie lordship was sitting watch ing the rabbits coming from their holes, and that it was in this attitude he met with his untimely and violent death. We need seareely say that the news of the fatal accident has spread gloom over the whole district. The marchioness and several of the children together with the dowager marchioness and Lady Georgians, the sister of the deceased, had been staying at Moffat for some time; and it may easily be conceived that his household was overwhelmed with sorrow when the lifeless body of its chief was borne to, Kinmount so soon alter he had gone out in health and obeadulnass. The late Marquis was Archibald William Douglas, only son of John, the sixth Marquis of Queensberry, by Sarah, third and yoangeat daughter of James Sholto Douglas, Esq., the re presentative of • younger branch of the same family. The noble lord was born in Edinburgh, on the 18th of April, 1818, and was educated at Eton. He entered the army at an early age, u cornet in the Life Guards, but retired in , 1844. le 1847, he was chosen without oprosition M.P. for DumhieeLshira, whilst bearing the courtesy title of Viscount Drumlanrig, on th e retirement of Mr. H=e Johnston,, its present representative, who had previous) y sat for the county in several mucoessive parliaments.
