We have received from Derby a "Declaration sad Protest" of the Church of England Clerical and Lay As. societies for the Maintenance of Evangelical Principles in the Midland District, in which the recent volume of " Essays sod Reviews" is condemned as mischievous, heretical, and havinge tendency to undermine belief Mall the moat essential trails of religion. Three quarto pages are devoted to ex tracts from the work, designed to support the verdict pro nounced, and four more contain the names of those who have signed the declaration. There are more than three hundred signatures; a very large proportion, if not the greater number, being those of the clergy. The first name is that of the president of the association, Sir Mat thew Blakiston, Bart., Sandibrook•hall, followed bv those of Mr. T. P. Bainbrigt e a a id Mr. Henry Con, magistrites, of H. Derby ; Mr. T. , head-master of the grammar school ; Dr. W. Ogle; r. Rowland Smith, banker ; the Itev. Sir Christopher Lightfoot, Hart.; Sir Oswald Moseley, Bort., &c. All the subecribers are not members of the as sociation, but some add their names ss ex press ieg omicurreoce in its statements and protest. The paper concludes with an appeal to the bishops, heads of colleges, principals of theological institutions, and all others occupying positions of authority in the church or in schools, to consider the dangerous character of the publication, and to direct against it in their respective spheres of duty such special action as may be most effectual to counteract its pernicious influence. A memorial to the Archbishop of Canterbury %pipet the NUM volume has just been adopted at a meeting of the clergy of the deaneries of Kimpton and lilockley, in the diocese of Worcester. An address to the archbishop is also receiving signatures in the diocese of Oxford. Oaths other hand, doubts are expressed in some quarters as to tits advisability of arousing 6o much attention to • work, and miming in its perusal minds unprepared for its study. A correspondent of this opinion writes to our High Churelecatemporary the Guardian this week : " My own adventures the other day in the streets of a remarkably decorous and unexcited cathedral town have led me to there redactions. I had occasion to call on the prin cipal brewer, as active and intelligent man of business, and a good churchman. Five minutes had not elapsed before be led the conversation to the ' Eames and Reviews,' a work which, it appeared, he bad eagerly devoured in consequence of the tumult that was being raised against it, and with which he profaned himself highly delighted. I sauntered thoughtfully up the street, and could not resist refreshing my orthodoxy by breathing the air of a long-establiahed bookshop, the B.P.C.K. depository, and the very focus of everything churchmanlike and respectable in the town. What was my surprise to see several copies of the same inevitable volume lying on the counter, and to learn that four or five had been sold that very afternoon! Now, I ask, whose fault is it that these deli cate and difficult problems ara being thus wrested from the hands which ought to deal with them, and placed in the hands of people necessarily MAC iWpainted with the first principles of theological science! Whose fault is it, if a proferaiou already seriously denuded of men of ability and learning bids fair to deter altogether from its service thaw who value free thought and fair die ' euselou And whose fault is it, if a question of the deepest interest and of the most vital importance, and on which much fresh light has providentially been thrown of late, is relegated hack to darkness and doubt amid anathemas and protests, such as, in an earlier age of the Church, induced a heathen by standee to declare he could liken the religions controversies of Christian divines to nothing else than the sava g e conflicts of wild beasts in the amphitheatre ?" On the other hand, it may be said that the time for limiting the influence of the work by Ignoring its opinions is past, and the number of the lay subscribers who have signed' the Midland Counties' protest, domino not without a deliberate nal conscientious examination of the work they cuudemn, countenances this view.

The house assembled at 2 o'clock for the purpose of carry ing up the address to her Majesty. About 50 or GO mem ber* were present. Shortly *Sternwards the SPEAKER took the chair. At 2 minutes after 2 o'clock Mr. CARDWELL appeared at the bar, in an official uniform, and announced that her Ma jesty was prepared to receive the address. The SPEAK ER immediately rose and left the house, fol lowed by the mover and seconder of the address, in the uniform of deputy•lieutenants. Sir John Pakiogtoo, Mr. S. Eatcourt, sod Lord Robert Montagu also appeared in uniform. The sitting was suspended until 5 o'clock. The house resumed at live o'clock. THE ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS. The SPEAKER informed the house that he had that day attended her Majesty with the address of the house, to which lufkMajesty had been pleased to return the following most &creams answer : " Your loyal and dutiful address has afforded me much satisfaction. I rely with confidence upon your careful eon. rideration of the measures which will be laid before you for the impnwement of the law and other important measures." A great portion of the early part of the sitting was occu pied in receiving petitions for the introduction of private bills and reports from the committee on standing orders. About fifty private bills were read a first time. NOTICES OF MOTION. The SOLlClTiifiZiNildieLpviloilee that on 'Thurs day, the 14th inst., he should move for leave to bring in a bill to consider and amend the statute of England and Ireland relating to offences apinst the person, and further consolidate and amend the criminal law of the United Kingdom. ENFRANCHISEMENT OF CHELSEA AND KENSINGTON. Lord ENFIELD gave notice that on the 15th instant he should move for leave to bring in a bill to transfer two of the vacant wale of the disfranchised boroughs of Sudbury and St. Albans to Chelsea and Kensington. DIVISIONS IN COMSIFFTEE OF SUPPLY. Sir G. BOWYER gave notice that on an early day he should move a resolution that on any division of the house in committee of supply the doors should be immediately closed when the question was first put. (Laughter.) DOCKYARD ARTIFICERS. Sir F. SMlTHwiebed to ask the l:lecretary to the Admi ralty whether a considerable reduction in the number of shipwrights and other workmen in her Majesty's dock yards had taken place since the close of the last session of parliament, or was now contemplated ; and if so, whether it was hi consequence of any intention to substitute iron for wooden ships of war, or to employ private builders more extensively than heretofore. Lord C. 'PAGE'T said that up to the present time there had been no reduction of the artificers in the dockyard. beyond t►is, that the Admiralty in the wane of the autumn desired that the vacancies which occurred should not be filled up. But it was the intention of her Majesty's govern• meat that at the end of this month a reduction should take place in the dockyards, till those establish. meats were reduced to the fixed scale allowed. The men would have railway pause given to them on leaving the service, which would enable them to go to their reepective homes. The works had been in so forward a state for some time that it was no longer a.ry to retain so large a number of men, bat it was thought unfair, as the winter was coming on, to mad them away. (Hear.) With regard to the second part of the question, the building of iron ships had no doubt something to do with that. He might state that the government were at that moment building six large iron ships by contract. (Hear, hear.) They were also building one in her Majesty's dockyard at Chatham, in order to assist the authorities in forming an estimate of the can. putties expenee. (Hear.) RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. Mr. BENTINCK wished to ask the President of the Beard at Thais whether, in oonsequence of the numerous railway accidents which had recently occurred, it was the intention of her Majesty's government to introduce any measure during the present session founded on the report of the committee oa railway accident., which was laid on the table of the hones in the year 1858. Mr. GIBSON said that the report of the committee had received very careful consideration from the govern ment ; and with regard to the first recommendation of that committee—namely, that the Board of Trade should apply to parliament for powers to investigate railway accidents and report thereon to parliament—he had to say that though the inquiries which now took place were without the authority of law, and conducted in fact by su ff erance, it was found that the railway companies showed no indis position to give the fullest information k and therefore, though it might be true that such inquiries were moot de sirable and necessary, yet as the government inspectors of railways got every facility from the railway companies in conducting their investigations at present, the government did not think it necessary to act upon that first recommen dation of the committee. If indeed the companies acted in another spirit, and refused to give the necessary information, it would then moat probably be the duty of the government to come to parliament and ask for such powers as the com mittee recommended them to ask for. With regard to the recent accidents, the inspectors of railways had made in quiries respectiug ell those which had occurred since the pro rogation, and their report would be shortly presented to both Howes of Parliament. The result of their opinions as to the causes of these accidents would be communicated to all the railway companies. Another important recommenda tioa of the committee was, that there should be a communi cation between the guards sod engine driven. (Hear, bear.) He was informed that such a communication was moat desirable. It was a fact that railway carriages had been dragged along in a disabled state for a considerable distance without any wheels, while the driven of the engines had not been at all aware of it (Hear, bear.) But it was questionable whether it was necessary to being in a tall for this purpose. Many railways bad already adopted this plan of communication, and unless there was some ab solute necessity, he thought It was not desirable to interfere with the free action of the railway companies, or to relieve the directors from the responsibility which properly be longed to them—of conducting the truffle with safety to the public. (Hear, hear.) Therefore it was not the intention of the government to bring in a bill to take any further powers in the matter. INDIAN PRIZE MONEY. Sir M. FARQUHAR wished to oak the Secretary of State for India whether Ise could state when the distribu. tion of the Delhi and Lucknow prize money was likely to tike place, and what was the course to be pursued with reference to the Kidwee and other Indian prize money; also whether the scheme for carrying out the amalgamation of the Indian army had been completed and forwarded to India for promution, and whether he had any objection to lay a copy of ths scheme upon the table of the house. Sir C. it ()OD said that the sotrraat for the distribution of the Delhi and Luckuow prize money bad been forwarded to India early in the autumn, and o rders bad been sent to India desiring that the prize rolls should be prepared. The amount to begiven to each person could not be determined till the prize rolls were completed, and this would occupy some time. The prize money would be distributed in India, and the remaining sum would be sent home for distribution 1 4 this country. With regard to the second question, it was a matter of legal coutroversy whether the Kidwee money was prize money or not, and till that question was decided he could not state what course would be pursued with re gard to it. With regard to the remaining prize money, • commission of officers recommended that all of it, with the exception of the Delhi and Lucknow prize money, should be distributed amongst the army generally. With regard to the scheme for the amalgamation of the Indien army a de. 'pitch bad been sent to India giving directions on many parts of the scheme. One document had already appeared in the r;a:etre. But as the Governor-General in commit with the Commander-in-Chief had a power of modifying the instructions given, it was not desirable that he should lay • copy of a scheme on the table which might not be the one ultimately promulgated. The Governor. general hada power of modifying without referring buck to England. MERCHANT SHIPPING. . . _ . _ . Mr. LINDSAY wished to ask the President of theßoard of Trade what measures the government proposed to intro duce this smoke to terry Into effect the recommendations of the Merchant 1114 pin Committee of last session. Mr. GIBSON said that two hills had been prepared by the goverenweit to nice effect to some of the recommenda tions of the Shipping Committee. These bills would be laM before the house in the mores ritlfortnlght. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS ACT; Mr. GRIFFITH wished to ask the Secretary of State for' the Home Department whether the government had any intention of bringing in a bill for the amendment of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Act, according to the under standing on which the select committee of last session on that subject was appointed. Sir G. LEWIS and that a measure oo this subject bad been prepared, and required only some revision preparatory to his asking leave of the house to introduce it. In reply to Mr. Drammen, Sir G. LEWIS said that the bill would contain clauses dealing generally with the boroughs in which the writs had beau suspended in consequence of the reports of commissions. (Stamped, ld. Additional.) [TWOPEN CE ' Mr. DUNCOMI4E ~aid it was a dangerous pr edent to suspend writs for the npresentation of the people, and he wished to know what course the right hon. gentleman meant to pursue. Sir 0. LEWIS said all he proposed to do was to move • resolution similar to that of hat session—that no writ he issued fur either of t h a two boroughs without a week's notice. trustees of certain charities. The bill, he said, was sub stantially the same as that which he introduced last year. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was brought in *. and read a first time. The house then adjourned at twenty-five minutes to nine o'clock. CARDINAL WISRMAN AND THIS BRITISH SYRIAN BELIEF FUND. The committee of the British Syrian Relief Fund have been compelled to submit to the judgment of their constituents a correspondence which has lately passed be tween them and his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman. Maav of our readers may reniember that last autumn the im partiality of the Anglo-American Committee of Beyrout was seriously assailed by the Rev. William Palgmvu, a Jesuit priest. Mr. Palgrave did not hesitate to assert, in a letter extensively published, that attendance on protestant prayer meetings was very often made a condition of participation in the alms which the British public, without distinction of creed, had raised strictly for the relief of dixtress. He further said, adding, "1 know it," that other portions of the alms were applied to building protestant schools, and that the re , lief was administered in the name of a protestant committee, and corporate body often under condition of virtual apostacy to Roman catholic said Greek recipients. The latter contain ing these allegations having appeared in the Weekly Regiottr and in the Tabla, Sir Culling Lindley, one of the honorary secretaries of the fund, wrote to Mr. Palgnve, calling his attention to them, and asking to be furnished with the grounds of the first and second statements, via with respect to the third inquiries whether Mr. Palgrave knew, when he wrote it, that the hon. secretaries of the fund had written to her Majesty's Coastal-General in Syria expressing the desire of the London Committee that Roman catholic, Greek, and Jewish gentlemen should be put upon the committee at Bement, This letter was sent to the Cardinal for transmission to Mr. Palgrave, who was in England, because in • previous letter the Cardinal, by his secretary, had named that gentleman as having bees ap pointed by him the channel fur the transmission of the sub scriptions of Roman catholic* Maid of Syrian distress. The Cardinal acknowledged the receipt of the letters, and stated that they bad been forwarded to Mr. Pa/grave. Mean while the charges made by Mr. Palgrave against the Anglo-American Committee at Beyrout were commu nicated to Mr. Consul-General Moore, its president, and • special committee was appointed on the spot to examine them The gentlemen composing it —Th. Weber, J. A. Johnson, James Black, N. Canaria, K Gilbertson, Thee. Portal* E. di Pio eiotti, and C. P. Lascardi—reported that Mr. Palgrave 's charges were " untrue, and entirely without foundation." They say, "In our examination of the account books and re conh of the committee, which we found in an admirable state of regularity and exactitude, we discovered that al though no appropriations have been made for the relief of the Jews, the buying up of catholic, children, or the building of protestant schools, two donations have been made to the Roman catholic Sisters of Charity. And it is also worthy of remark, that several applications to the committee, for aid in behalf of asylums for widows and orphans, in which protestant religious instruction would be encouraged, were declined on the ground of their secta rian character. While we deem it unnecessary to refer to each item of evidence which came before us, we would merely call attention to the fact, as proof of the satisfaction of the priesthood respecting the uusectarian character of the distributions, that certified Brie of applicants for cha rity have been constantly presented to the committee by the native clergy of the Ma onto and Greek churches, as well as of other non-protestant communities." They in conclusion, refer to the published list of members of the A. A. Relief Committee, composed as it is of seven members of the Consular Corps, and gentlemen of the mercantile and other communities representing the Roman catholic, Greek, Jewish, and protestant palm. ikons, as a guarantee of the impartial administration of the funds and a satisfactory refutation of the calumnies con tained in Mr. Palgieve's letter. On the first day of the present year the committee of the Syrian Relief Fund, not having received justice from Mr. Palgrave, appealed to Cardinal Wiseman. Ills Eminence was reminded that he bad in a letter to M. Spartall a member of the Syrian Relief Committee, declined to move the Roman catholic nobility and gentry to join the Syrian Relief Fund, on the ground that the whole influence and support of himself and the Roman catholic episcopate was tree to Mr. Palgrave. Mr. Edmonds wrote :—" Your inenee will perceive that the statements of Mr. Palgrave are proved to be utterly false and unfounded. The com mittee understand that that gentleman is in France. They are willing to hope that, on receiving from your Eminence the refutation of his statements by the Ileyrout Committee, lie will be ready to acknow ledge that he was misinformed, and to express his regret at having unintentionally done injustice to a public charitable objects. If I learn teem your Eminence that you will undertake to transmit this letters and icicle sures to Mr. Ravers, with a request to him to reply imme diately, I am desired to say that the committee will wait ten days (or even longer if your Eminence thinks it neces sary) for the answer, with a view to its being published, together with the present communication." The Cardinal's secretary wrote in return :—" In reply to your letter I have to (*Hiner attention to the note of the Mid October, in which Cardinal Wiseman informs Sir Culling Eardley that the previous letters had been sent to No. 9, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, and that he bad no doubt but that any farther information relative to them would be most readily obtained at that address. His Eminence has no further means of communicating with the Rev. Mr. Palgrave, who is not ecclesiastically under him jurisdiction and authority. It, therefore, the committee will forward their statement to the Rev. Mr. Palgrave, at the above-mertioned address, it will reach him as effectually as if sent through (brains! Wiseman, who has no ether means of communicating with him." In answer to this Mr. Edmonds wrote, on the 17th ult., stating that as they had previously followed the ad vice of his Eminence as to the transmission of letters to Mr. Palgrave, as they had no doubt whatever that those letters did reach their dastiustioa, and as three months had sow elapsed since Mr. Palgrave must have received them, and as to that day they were not answered, the committee must decline having anything further to do with that gentleman. Mr. Khmonds added : " If your Eminence, considering the relation in which Mr. Palgrave stands to you, does not consider it your duty to help him to clear himself from MI apparent guilt of wilful calumny, it certainly does not devolve on this committee, under the circurnstancca stated, to do so. Being, as Mr. Palgrave is, the recognised depository of your own con fidence, end of that of the Roman catholic community in the United Kingdom, it will be for Roman catholic noble men and gentlemen to judge whether they will approve of such discreditable conduct as Mr. l'algrave'a seems to have been, remaining without either excuse or apology. I am further to inform your Eminence, that tins committee, is discharge of the duty which they owe to the laborious and disinterested committee at Beymut, feel it meniebent upon them to give publicity to this entire correspondence." The committee, in publishing this correspondence, express a conviction that the farts must have their due effect on those of the Roman catholic nobility and gentry of the United Kingdom to whose knowledge they may come. For they say : " Their leading men in lath houses of parlia ment have from the first been invited to join the Syrian Re lief Committee. The funds raised are administered in Syria, by a committee, including Roman catholics as well as protestants. The large preportion of the sufferers are Ro man catholics. Roman catholic priests are consulted in the distribution. Thimeauda of Roman catholic* are at this in clement season dependent for food, clothing, allti life itself, on a fund to which the only British non-contributors are the Roman catholic*. Surely this state of things will not be allowed to continue." CONVOCATION OP THE CLERGY. —lt is understood that the convention of the prelates and clergy of the pro vince of Canterbury, the customary meeting of which was deferred in consequence of the desalt of the archhishop's daughter, will not meet for the despatch of business until the lut week of the present month. The Hon. and Rev. Douglas Gorden, M.A., a son of the late Earl of Aberdeen, will represent the chapter of Salisbury in the forthonniog convocation, in the room of the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Samuel Waldegrave, now Bishop of Carliale. ZooLooteaLSocurrr erLesixn4.—At the monthly general meeting held yesterday, at the society's bone. in Hanover-square, the Right Hon. Sir G. Clerk, Mit., V.P., in the chair, Captain Hunter Blair, M. Jacques Vekenians, And Mr. C. B. Musgrave, were elected fellows, anti Professor Brandt, of St. Petersburg, a foreign member of the society.

Mr. ADDEKLEY wished to ask the vice-president of the Committee of Council on Education, when the report of the Education Commissioners was likely to be presented to the house ; and, whether the government intended giving au early opportunity, after its presentation, for its discussion. Mr. LOWE said the report would bs presented in the course of the present month. As to the second part of the question, the government would have to consider carefully • document of such importance and such length, before au. nouncing to the house what course they were prepared to take. . . Mr. GRANT DUFF gave notice that he should move on an early day for a royal oummission to inquire into the state of education in England and Wales. BANK OF ENGLAND. The house having resolved itself into committee. P The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after a pre liminary statement, placed in the hands of the chairman the two following resolutions relative to the method of account with the Bank of England, which were then agreed to: " That it is the opinion of this committee that any gonna which are or may be by law payable to the Governor and Company of the • Bank of England, on account of the charge for management of the unredeemed public debt, shall hence forward be paid without deduction out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom.* "That it is the opinion of this committee that the pay• meats now made by the i Governor and Company of tho Book of England, as prescribed by the Act of the 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 32, by way of deduction from the charges of management of the unredeemed public debt, shall hence forward be payable and paid by the said Governor and Company of the Bank of England as fcllows—that is to my, the sum of 60,000/., being a composition for stamp duties to her Majesty's Inland Revenue ; and the whole allowance out of profits of issue, being at this present time 1V,078/., to the Exchequer, to form part of her Majesty's miscel laneous revenue." Pon OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER again rose, and said he had now to propose another resolution, which was also of a character strictly preliminary, and which re lated to a point entirely distinct from the former one, although both were connected, and both involved considera ble liability for the Consolidated Fund. The reeolutions which he had now to propose related to a subject on which great interest was felt in the country, and relative to which he entertained a sincere hope there would not be found any irreconcilable or very serious difference of opinion. Her Majesty's government had been for some time bock prepar ing a plan by means of which a very e ff ective and easy ma chinery of the Post-office in connection with money orders might be made available for effecting a great extension of the facilties now— The eirifiiitAN (Mr. Massey) called the right hon. gentleman to order. The present committee could only consider a resolution relative to the Consolidated Fund. The CHANCELLOR ot the EXCHEQUER said be would then give notice for a committee for tomorrow. The house then resumed. PAROCHIAL RATING. Sir G. C. LEWlllreseTo ask for leave to introduce a bill for the amendment of parochial amessmeut in England. He did not intend to propose any alteration in the existing law of rating, nor any alteration in the rules which determined the liability of property to local rat.h, or which defined the different proportions in which that Lability affected different kinds of property. He proposed to introduce an improve- I meet in the mode of assessment. It was well known that the present mode of assessment was defective, and it was in the power of the parish officers to depart from the general assessment of the parish and to adopt an arbitrary assess ment of their own, and his object was to introduce greater uniformity and greater certainty in the mode of making the amassment on which rates were levied, and depriving pariah officers of the power ' 1 of departing from the general assessment. The measures would be confined to the poor rate and the county rate. With regard to the county rate, be proposed that the county justices should appoint a board of their number, of not less than 5 or greater than 11, to be called the assessment board of the county, and be proposed a similar board for boroughs. These boards would be empowered to require returns from the pariah officers, and to enforce their peoductiou, and to examine witnesses. The board would have the power to direct a revision of the lists, and in case of necessity to appoint valuers whose valuation would be open to inspection. Persons would be allowed fourteen days to make objections, which the board were to hear. Appeals to the sessions would be allowed on questions of law, hut not on questions of fact or value. The valuation so arrived at by those bawds would be the assessment of the respective parishes, and from that assessment the pa riah officers could not depart, and upou it every rate would have to be made until such valuation should be revised and new property had grown up. In the discus sion which bad taken place last year on this subject it would be recollected it was stated that in rural parishes the assessments varied from 10 to 20 per cent. be low the proper rateable value. The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in the bill. Mr. DEEDES said he agreed it was desirable that a uniform system of rating should be established, as r here were very great discrepancies in the existing system, especially in the rural districts. With regard to the county rate he could not gather that the proposed plea sure would materially anieud the present system. In the county which he had the honour to represent there was at this moment a standing committee of the justices charged especially with the supervision of the assessments of the different parishes, in order to see that wherever new pro perty had grown up, or property bad become of greater value, it was properly assessed. Sir G. C. LEW IS mid the object be had in view was to assimilate the system throughout the country. (Hear.) In reply to Mr. S. LITMUS?, Sir G. C. LEWIS said the bill would not extend to high way rates. Leave was given to bring in the bill. HIGHWAYS BILL. Sir G. C. LEWlSil;;;;;;;alcs 7 leave to introduce a bill for the better management of highways. It was, he observed, almost ideatical with the bill of last seedon. The great ex. teosion of the railway system had rendered improvement ab solutely n in the law with respect to highways, for the highways bad been entirely changed in their character, and country roads that led to railway stations were of more importance than those which were maintained under turn pike acts. The late wet season had illustrated the heves. sity for change and improvement with regard to those roads. In tho bill of last year he bad introduced a clause by which its adoption by the magistrates was left voluntary ; but in the present measure he proposed to gives discretionary power to t Leave was then given to introduce the bill. THE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSI'ON moved for a select committee to consider whether by any alterations in the (onus and pro ceedings of the house the despatch of public business could be more effectually promoted. Various changes in prac ties had already been made which had all worked well, fuel it was desirable to inquire whether they might not be tartest further with advantage to the public service. Mr. HORSMAN objected that the terms of the motion were too restricted. Notwithstanding all the changes which had been made, the evil of the waste of the time of the house had only increased. He would propose that the motion should be extended so as to inquire whether the more careful preparation of government measures, their early introduction, or the mule judicious distribution of business between the two houses, and the order and method with which orders are conducted, might not mate rially facilitate the transaction of public affair..

Referring to the main question, he asserted that the government, if it acted selfishly, would not seek to enlarge the time at its disposal. But the actual result of the present system was practically to throw every day before Easter more or leas into the hands of private members.
