IT is not without 11111111011 that Mr. 011.20011 X proposes to-morrow to inquire whether the House of Commons will have an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the propriety of the severance of the national collections in the British Museum, and the transportation of some of them to South Kensington, before an estimate for that purpose is moved. The superior attractions of South Kensington have been seen in past sessions to draw with irresistible force the expenditure of public money in that quarter, sometimes in the shape of Treasury grants, sometimes by disbursements from the surpluses of the Commissioner of Works, sometimes by votes in the estimates, sometimes by bill. But it has also happened before now that attempts have been made to oust the House of Commons of its power of veto, by the assertion that Government has already committed itself, and that the faith of the public has been infereutie'ly pledged. And, at any rate, the rejection of an estimate has become too rare and exceptional an event to make its proposal a fair or fitting oppor tunity for taking the opinion of the House on matter of principle. We may, however, assume that on this occasion the Bill which Government has announced, will be submitted before any vote is asked for the purpose of carrying out its provisions. We should feel certain that this course would be adopted d;d we not remember that a like bill was rejected by a decisive majority in 1862, and yet that in every year since that date some step has been taker, either by the purchase of land, or by the procuring of plans, to induce the House to nullify its own determination, and to allow proceedings to be taken which might afterwards be represented as forbidding it to renew its protest. It will, however, need reasons new as well as strong to carry Parliament in 1866 to the reversal of its policy so emphatically expressed in 1862. If we are to have the case presented again on merely the same grounds which were then rejected, a different conclusion can hardly be expected or desired. The necessity for doing something is indeed stronger now. The collections have grown, though the house room has not been en larged. Some of them are now, as then, of ne cessity kept invisible, because there is no place where they can be shown ; and none are exhibited in the way they ought to be. But this undeniable fact is no argument on either aide. All admit that we must build; the question is, where shall we build ? Iu 1862 the Exhibition Commissioners offered the bribe of land at South Kensington at a priced only 10,0001. per acre. This land was actually bought by the nation in 1863. We all remember under what Government, yet with a positive pledge that the purpose to which it should hereafter be devoted should be open to future consideration. Doubtless, if not used it can be sold again, and the price will go so far to the purchase of land elsewhere. So, practically, the question is now as it wee before, between land it Kaoaine% PTA lend in Bloomsbury. The latter costs 50,0001. per acre, and as five acres arerequired, there would be a charge of 250,0001., or a difference of 200,0001. in favour of Kensing ton. The friends of Kensington farther allege that a building there need not be of costly Greek architecture, but of cheap Brampton style— resembling, we presume, those commodious brick THE ~,.v, o, mews which were erected for the Exhibition tare galleries, or the " boilers * " which. first South Kensington art famous In the. world. this modification another hundred thousand is put down to the credit of Kensington. Against it, however, there is to be set the cost of a duplicate library of reference, and the cost of new cases and fittings. On the whole, it is certainly a liberal allowance in favour of Kensington, if we say that it offers us an economy on the first construction of 260,0001. But the building on either site is esti mated to cost above 600,0001. And the annual service of the museum costs close upon 100,000/. at present. So the question comes to be whether, when we must spend such sums, the advantages of a saving of 250,0001. once for all are sufficient to outweigh the disadvantages which we should per manently experience from dividing the collections, and goading the scientific portion toa suburb ; for no other advantage save the momentary economy that may be alleged in favour of such a amuse. The ecien tific collections are not suffering from either smoke o; gas, as pictures are sometimes said to do. Nobody has ever alleged that they will be either better seen or more conveniently reached at South Ken sington than at Bloomsbury. It is solely a pecu niary inducement that is held out for the bait. But ere we accept a proposal of economy, it is nsosesary to consider efficiency. Theme national collestions are kept up at great expense to be seen and to be useful. It is admitted they will, not be better seen, nor prove more useful at Ken sington than in the heart of London, but will they be as well f Will it be as easy for the nation which pays for them be examine them four miles sway from their present locality f To say ao is to say that the nation is better represented by Ken sington than by London, that its heart beets at Kensington rather than in London, that the centre to which all its functions converge is at Ken sington rather than in the midst of its metropolis. It is of course impossible that the collections shall be in every point of the metropolis, and those who do not live at the precise point where they are situated must womanly spend some time, more or less, in reaching them. Bat it is at least safe to assert that a larger population is grouped round Blooms bury than round Kensington, and that with all our facilities for locomotion there is, on the ave rage of London, a saving of an hour and a half in going to and coming from the present instead of the intended mite. Even when all our projected railways are finished, there will still, with waiting and stoppages, be a difference of half an hour each way, or of an hour oo the whole. But an hour a day is, in innumerable oases, the limit of time available to scientific pureuit. Men who devote themselves solely to study may live where they can study most conveniently. But the men who desire to study are an infinite majority over those who have unlimited time for study, and to those whose life is spent in other avocations the loss of an hour a day is the loss of a day. Yet no class is more deserving of our con sideration end help, for it is such a clams that forms the real diffusers and utilizers of knowledge ; and, indeed, it is almost wholly out of such a class that the ranks of science are recruited. It is for their sake, for the sake of the real students, with scanty time, and often no affluent means, whose business or poverty compels them to live in every different quarter of London, but in far greater numbers in the busy centre and east than in the leisured west, that we ask the retention of the means of study in a central situation. For the sake of such as these we do not think the Hones of Com mons or the nation should grudge the extra 250,0001. in a single vote which forma the sole obstacle to the maintenance of the whole collec tions in the place we have been accustomed to see them, and which is admitted by all to be the place where the convenience of the students of books demands that the library shall be kept. We can not trace the subtle distinction necessary to prove , that what is best for the habits of the bookworm ' is not beet for the purposes of the students in other [apartments of knowledge.

The Opinion Nationale oOntalue a long letter from John Mitchel, which Is assent is be a repay to a eta* meet of M. Z. Percale in the Revue des Deux Monde( of the Ist Febtusry, "that Iretand has been admitted 10 alt the ltbert es which England enjoys.' After noticing the habit of certain Fr such publicists to derive their infor mation on Irish rffairs from English sources, Mr. Mitchel cato.es a loog entrant from the programme of the National Aseccia.lea of Irsl-nd for the purpose of showing that Ireland hes distinct sod peculiar grounds of complaint. Re then goes on to say that if the Irish people had the sons power which is enjoyed by the people of England of electing delegates and meeting in convention, their first act would be a declaration of lade peedence—tbat if the Irish people were allowed, like the people of England, to unite mad arm as volunteers, they would support such a declaration by force of arms—that in point of fact each an army of whist:sere proclaimed the psdepeodessee and sovereignty of the nation and maintained that iodepeedence for 18 years—that if the Irish people were allowed, like the people of England, to possess arms and to Irani the use of them, the first thing they would do would be to exterminate the English ganisoes—that if the Irish people had the right to be judged, like the people of England, by twelve of their pews and neighbours selected impartially sad anwriling blew, it would be impossible for the English government to promo a coevietiou for any offence against the gown sad goventment of Ragland, that is to ... that the rule of that goversmect le Ireland would co longe r exist. " &oh," says Mr. Mitchel, "in conclusion, is the imperative necessity under which the English find them. selves obliged, is order to preserve the British empire, to maintain sad perpetuate in Ireland this exe3ptiossal rule, the morality and justice of which I shall sot pow deems. / only desire that in France its existence should Dot be I denied."
