It is instructive, however, to witness the readiness which the House now manifests for trans ferring one of its most cherished and important privileges to the Court which once disputed its rights. It is curious to see the head of that Court averse to assume a jurisdiction which one of the greatest of his predecessors would not have scrupled to exercise. What Lord Chief Justice Coc•suax denounces as unconstitutional Lord DENMAN might have accepted with complacency. For our own part, we rejoice that the House of Commons has given an undeniable token of its readiness to forego a questionable privilege in order to secure the incalculable gain of purity of election. We repeat that this is a hopef•:ul symp tom. It indicates a hearty desire to strive for the good of the community in preference to maintain ing time-honoured but worthless forms. Perhaps the Upper House may follow so admirable an ex ample and withdraw its opposition to the creation of Peers for life ! We have no desire, however, to see Parliament abandon any privilege which really conduces to its own independence. Lord EIRSIETBX truly said that "the independence of parliament " is the corner-stone of our free Constitution." The prerogatives of the Crown will never again be maintained in opposition to the declared will of Parliament. Neither of the two Houses may again come into collision with the press. The Judges may make barren protests, but they must in the end obey the commands of the people when these are uttered by their representatives. So long as Parliament is the true reflex of the national senti ment its privileges will command universal re spect, and those which are really precious will flourish the more vigorously if those which are superfluous shall be unhesitatingly lopped off. FEBRU .41 teachings tad all notions of decency, purity, chastity, ►umility, dr.e. It was high time, said the HOLY larnsa, to put a stop to such abuses, to take open action against the secret propaganda which the Spirit of Darkness was exercising for the corruption ei their sex by means of vain allurements, fantastic head-dresses, the scandalous and indecent modes al dress, &c. Some of the elegant and aristocratic penitent& who listened to this severe lecture complain al its extreme vivacity. They say these sins of the fashion come to them from Paris, and that they cannot choose but obey the injunctions of that eldest daughter of the catholic world, so enthu siastic for the temporal sovereignty of the HOLY Farris ; and that, after all, the worst that can be said of the prevailing fashion of dress is that it too usarly resembles the primeval costume of Eden. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Times advisee Mr. Goachen, if he would render a great service, as he appears to be desirous of doing, to produce some scheme for • general municipal representative government in London. He will probably find difficulties in his way both from the corporation and the House of Commons, but the teak is worthy of his energy and his ambition. Before considering, ea he did Last night, the ways and means of raising money he should first determine the organisa tion which should spend it.—ln another article the Times expresses • hope and belief that the most eminent men in both Houses of Parliament will at onos repudiate the mis chievous and fantastic doctrines of Mr. Mill, and bring the discussion of Irish affairs once more within the bounds of practical good sense. Observing that whatever skill Mr. Disraeli may exhibit in managing parliament, he cannot be congratulated on his success in managing the country, the Daily .2Velos refers to the defeats of the tories in Birmingham, Manchester, Coventry, and Stoke, and adds that these elections may be regarded as in some sense foreshadowing the response of the new constituencies to the appeal which will soon be made to them upon the questions in dispute between the iberal and conservative parties. The omen is good. The letter of Mr. Gladstone on the co-operative supply movement, the inconvenience of the parliamentaty build ings, and the check which the Irish administration has re. oeived through the inability of the jury in the case of the trial of Mr. John Martin and his associates to agree, are among the other topics discussed by the Daily New& Whether or not there will be a division next week on the subject of Ireland, the country, under any circum stances, says the Tele9rapA, will receive from both sides of the house a man of valuable information. At all events, if we are not prepared to grant complete justice to Ireland, let ns follow out Mr. Neate's advice, and suppress, not only proposals, but even discussion. The fiiandesd while denying that the premiership of England is vacant, proceeds to demur at some length to the doctrine laid down by some of the journals, that it will always be necessary that the premier should be in the House of Commons. Such • rule would exclude from an ambition which should be the highest and de►rest in every statesman's mind, such men as Lord Stanley ani Lord Cranborne, though eminently qualified by their character and abilities to take a leading place in the future government of the country.

PARLIAMENT is willing to invoke the strong arm of the law as administered by the Court of Queen's Bench for the suppression of bribery at elections. The Judges are opposed to a proposal which the House of Commons is ready to sanction. The Government approves of a compromise to which it is unlikely that the House will assent. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said at Helston that ho thought nothing of the objections which were made by the CHIEF JUSTICE and to which Mr. DISRAELI has attached undue weight. Now that the provisions of the bill have been published they appear to be even more inadequate and absurd than when they were sketched by Mr. DISRAELI. It is doubtful if he be aware of the gravity of the change it is pro , posed to make in the practice of the House. The alacrity with which the most prominent members have shown to welcome such a change is startling to those versed in constitutional history. The full importance of this will be appreciated when it is borne in mind what is meant by privilege of Parliament. At the beginning of every Parliament it is the custom for the newly-elected SPEAKER of the House of Commons to claim at the bar of the House of Lords the assent of the Crown to the maintenance of the privileges of the Commons. It would be as extraordinary were this claim re jected, as it would be were the Bovaamom to revive the now obsolete right of veto. There is no danger that the Commons will again be sub jected to undue pressure on the part of the Crown. The power of the puree is more than a match for prerogative. About two centuries ago the case was otherwise. The Sovsaziow was then in continual antagonism with Par liament. The former upheld his fancied pre rogatives ; the members of the latter as serted their immemorial privileges. James the FIRST, that pedant among Kings and King among fools, peevishly told the House of Commons that its privileges were the off-shoots of the royal grace and favour. This silly speech was met with a protest in the journals of the House, to the effect " that the liberties, franchises, privileges, and " jurisdictions of Parliament are the ancient and un " doubted birth-right and inheritance of the subjects "of England." His liLuzarr regarded this spirited and well-founded declaration as a personal insult. He sent for the Journals, and deigned with his own royal hand to erase from them the obnoxious words. He did not succeed, however, in thereby extinguishing privileges, the validity whereof he had denied. Nor was his ill-fated son more into cesaful, although he was certainly more daring in his attacks upon the independence of Parliament. Parliament has not only out-lived the dynasty which strove to annihilate it, but has also decreed the conditions in virtue of which another dynasty occupies the throne. Notwithstanding the victory of Parliament in its protracted and envenomed contests with royal pre tensions, parliamentary privilege has not been en joyed without various struggles of an equally severe although far less dangerous kind. The two Houses have been arrayed against each other. The Lords have attempted to dictate to the Commons, and the Commons have defied the Lords to do their worst. Both haveessayed to limit the rights of the people. When the press was yet in its infancy, Parliament more than once endeavoured to strangle it. The baiting of an unhappy printer was the pastime into which both Houses entered with strange zest. To report debates was denounced as a breach of the Constitution. To question the infallibility of a blundering statesman was considered to be one de gree lees blameworthy than high treason. The combat appeared to be unequal, yet, the weaker side in appearance proved the stronger in reality. So thorough has been the transformation that we should not be surprised if strong language and equally lawless proceedings were to be em ployed towards the press now were it to rofuse to report the debates of either House, as wore em ployed at a time when the right to make• such report, was denied, and the practical aasertion of the right was rigorously punished. The last great effort for the maintenance of parliamentary privilege bad direct reference to the publication of the proceedings of the Lower House. This was the famous case of Stockdale r.

The success of the Civil Service Stores in the Haymarket and in Monkwell-street has spread like an infection. The districts N., N.W., W.C., S., S.E., S.W. are catching it one after the other. All the points of tho Metropolitan compass are down with this complaint—complaint of the ex orbitant charges of butcher, baker, and all les autres. Paterfamilias now finds in his letter- box a prospectus of a co-operative store, or " housekeeper's association for the purpose "of supplying its members and others with " household necessaries of the best kind, of " genuine quality, at reasonable prices, with just " weight and measure." These companies propose to supply-1, meat of all kinds ; 2, bread, flour, and meal ; 3, groceries ; 4, cheesemongery, butter, eggs, bacon, &c. ; 5, potatoes and other vegetables ; 6, poultry and fish. Every article issuing from the emporium will be guaranteed of the beet quality and perfectly genuine ; and in order to secure this a chemical analyst and microscopist has been engaged, who will examine, by the most searching testa, all stores received into the em porium, and all supplies issued from it to eon ' Burners. These associations contemplate operations on a large scale. Goods will be delivered imme diately on being ordered within a radius of two miles, and on many articles a saving of fifty per cent. will be guaranteed for ready money. A sub sidiary branch will be established for the supply of labouring people with cooked food at the lowest possible cost, and even with coal/ direct from the I pit. All this sounds very " fine," but we suspect the "emporium" is foreign to the genius of the British people. We should not like to see all the shops shut up, or half of them, or a quarter of them, or any of them indeed. We like shops; everybody likes shops. If they get a little more out of us than they ought, in fairness, to get, they adorn the town. They make a stroll through the streets interesting by day ; their gas lamps make it bright and cheerful by night. It was the sight of the glittering shop windows in Cheap_ aide that caused Marshal Blucher to exclaim, " Mein Got, what a city to sack !" And what a safety valve to the temper of wives and daughters is afforded by shops ! If they have no money, they can look in at the windows and indulge in an Alnaachar's vision of what they would buy and adorn themselves with if they had. If they have money they can go in and be flattered. It is all very well to save fifty per cent., butwhat if our women folks can't go out shopping 1 Curtains at fifty per cent. over their value are cheaper to the busy, thinking, occupied man than curtain lectures. And, after all, if we were to carry co-operation out in everything, there would soon be, as the raving demagogue said, " no " nothing"—no Queen, no Parliament,no Church,no Army and Navy, no Bench, no Bar,—nothing to swear by or toast after dinner with a " hip, hip, " hurrah, and one cheer more." No. Sentiment, the British spirit of fair play, the " live and let live" maxim, convenience, human vanity, everything, in fact, is in favour of the perpetuation of the shop. The shop-keeper has the matter in his own hands. Let him be satisfied with a reasonable profit. Let him not be in such baste to get rich. Let him be content with the back parlour, and not aspire too soon to the suburban villa, and the horse, on which he too often rides to ruin. At the same time, let not the public condemn the whole body of industrious, fair dealing, hard work ing, too often struggling tradesmen, for the exor bitancy of a few, upon whom a seeming exorbitancy has been forced by the inconsiderate conduct of customers who run long bills, and subject their tradespeople to heavy losses. If the present feverish co-operative movement should strike • blow at the pernicious system of long credit it will have served a useful purpose. nix HOLY Fenian, in the midst of the more momentous duties of his sacred office—such as inspecting his fortifications and reviewing his Zousves—has found time lately to receive a deputation of two hundred Roman and foreign ladies who came to pay the homage of their humble assent to the Apostolic Brief of October 12, 1867, against the luxury and extreva gance of" women's dress. We are told by the court newsman of the Vatican that the young and beautiful Princess laavonzAorrx, née ALDO 1111,ANDINI, was the speaker on this ocearion, sad delivered a "vary well turned address to his " Homing." Pius IX. replied by an instructive and touching allocution, which, however, appeared to a few among the audience some- THE WEEKLY PRESS. Nothing is more striking, in the opinion of the Saturday Review, in Lord Russell's Irish pamphlet than the ignorenoe it betrays of the real state of the liberal party. Anyone who read it and did not know the recent history of Eugliah politics would imagine, as Lord Russell evidently imagines. that if a scheme is proposed by Lord Russell and adopted by Mr. Gladstone it forthwith becomes the creed of the party to which they belong, and will be warmly supported by the votes and speeches of the party as a body. There is not • shadow of truth in this sesumption. The liberal party is difficult to lead, and becomes more difficult every year to lead, because its members insist on thinking for themselves, and because liberalism means snob • vast variety of things, and ranges from socialism to • feeble preference for whig landowners. To give six-eighths of the revenues of the Irish church to the catholics may be a bed thing or • good thing, but it is a proposal to which the bulk of the liberal party are by no means prepared to commit themselves. Mr. Gladstone is entirely powerless unless he acts in concert with • eon eidemble number of men with whom Lord Russell's recom mendation' are of no intrinsic value whatever. Mr. Gladstone, if he is to carry great measures, must have the support of the whig landowner', but be must alto have the support of Mr. Bright, Mr. Mill, and Mr. Lowe. In the opinion of the Examiner neither the present nor any future parliament could be expected to sanction the endowment of the Irish priests which Lord Russell de fends. On its proposal all the ordinary ties of party would melt like wax in the fire. Conservatives and Radicals, Evan gelicals and sceptics, would coalesce in opposition to any minister, however strong, who propounded such • raceme. One half of the Liberal party and more than one half of the Tory party would close their ranks to resist it ; while ia its support there would be neither popular enthusiasm on the one side of the Channel or upon the other. Every promise of peace and loyalty in Ireland, held out by statesmen as its probable consequent*, would be made a text for taunt and scoff by the disaffected laity, to whom is now imputed sympathy with Feni•niam. The priests would have bad times of it so long as the matter was in discussion, and they would be driven in spite of themselves to protest and petition against it in order to save their credit with the mass of the people. Meanwhile, if the exigency in Ireland be such as to tempt • man of Mr. Mill's character and position to say—" Rather than it should continue, let there be a total revolution in the ownership and occupancy of land," it is surely high time for those who call themselves Conservatives to some forward and tell us plainly and promptly what they would do. Briefly summarised, the Spectator says, the legal patronage of Lord Derby's third government is repre sented by the following nominations :—ln England—three times to the affirm of Lord Jostles of Appeal in Chancery, and once to the poets of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Vice-Cheneelkw, Puha* Judgeship in the Queen's Bench, and ledge of the Admiralty Court. In Ireland—twice to the office of Lord Chancellor, three times to that of Lord Justice of Appeal, and once to that of Master of the Rolls, of Chief Justice, of Vice-Chancellor, and of Judges in the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Bankruptcy Court. In Scotland—once to the post of Lord Judie,- Genera, and once to that of Lord Justice Clerk. The offices of Attorney and Solicitor-General for England and Ireland and of Lord-Advocate and Solicitor-General for Scotland have been filled and minted nineteen timer. Thirteen of Lord Derby's parliamentary supporter, have been rewarded with seats on the bench, and there is a chance of the fourteenth now taking the vacant place In the Court of Queen's Bench. The fortunate thirteen are Sir W. Bovill, Sir Hugh Cairns, Sir F. Kelly, Sir E. Malin., Sir John Bolt, Sir C. Selwyn, and Mesas. Chat tartan, George, Miller. Morris, Patton, Walsh, and White. aide. The only instance in which professional standing has been recognised as being superior to party fidelity was In the ems of Sir Robert Phillimare. THZ PROBILCUTIONB IN DUBLIN. DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.

LORD AMDERLEY WITH HIS coirsnrumrs. NOTTINGHAM, FIUDAT EVEIIII4O. Lord Amberley addressed a crowded meeting of his constituent" at the Exchange-hall this evening. In the course of a long address his lordship said be thought the compound householder ought to be possessed of a vote. Nearly all that was good in the Reform Bill was the work of the House of Common', and nearly all that was bad was the work of the government. He was in favour of the ballot and the abolition of church rates. He was an advocate of compulsory and unsectarian education. With regard to the Irish church, they had made up their minds it could not exist much longer injits present state. He would endow the Roman catholic reli gion. (No, no.) The scheme" of Mr. Bright and Mr. Mill with egard to the tenure of land would not interfere with the rights of property. He would legislate for the legal protection of the funds of trades unions. With re gard to the Alabama claims, be thought Lord Stanley was right and the American government wrong. He should oppose Mr. Smith's Sunday Closing Bill. According to some rumours the legal expenses of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway during the past six months have amounted to 40,0001. or 60,0001.

GLADSTONE AND THE TRADES UNIONS.—The adjourned meeting of the London trades delegates was held List evening at the Bell Inn, Old Bailey, for the pur pose of receiving the report from the deputation who waited upon Mr. Gladstone on Tuesday last. Mr. George Potter woopied the chair. The chairman reported, on behalf of the deputation. They considered the interview with Mr. Gladstone had been attended with the most satisfacioryresults. Thehon.gentleman hadmetthem in the moat frank manner, and had acknowledged that many im pressions existing in his mind about the actions of trades unions had been greatly modified. He had strongly urged the principle of 00-operation on the deputation, and his suggestions were well worthy of consideration. The deputation also con fessed, for once at least, that the London daily press had done justice to the trades, by the full report they had given of the proceedings. (Cheers.) The delegates bad no doubt seen in the papers of that day a letter from Mr. Moult, the secretary of the master builders. He would suggest that the delegates should send a challenge to the em ployers to appoint 12 of their number to meet an equal number of trades delegates to discuss the whole question of capital and labour, with the object of arriving at some agreement by whic h the existing antagonism might be d i minished, if not altogether removed. (Cheers.) He thought this was a question well worthy of consideration at a future meeting. An interesting discussion then en sued, and a resolution was adopted, receiving the report, and thanking the deputation for their services. Mr. Cohn then moved, " That the thanks of the delegates are given to Mr. Gladstone for the frank and courteous way in which he treated the deputation. That thethanks of the delegates are also due to the London daily journals for the full report they gave of the proceedings." Mr. Bolton seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. Dyer (delegate from the Mamma' Society), then moved " That this Ong of London trades delegates desire to 's prees th eir disapprobation of the conduct of the body calling Itself the Conference of Amalgamated Trades, in a letter to Mr. Gladstone, signed ' W.

A resolution to remove tho national capital to the valley of the Mississippi has been defeated in the house. The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed the applications of Georgia and Mississippi for in. junctions against the execution of the Reconstruc tion Act, upon the grounds that the court has no jurisdiction, the question being political, not judi cial, and that the applications do not specify any apprehended danger to person or property.
