ItAL LONDON, WEDNRSDAY, JUNE 28. IN the House of LORDS, Earl Ge.asivars stated that the government, after due consideration of the state of private boluses, had come to the con clusion that the public interests required that the dissolution of parliament should not be delayed after public business had been concluded, and it was their intention to bring the session to • close on Thursday, 6th July. The Prisons Bill was passed through oommitttee. The Peace Preservation (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill and the Greenwich Hospital Bill were read a second time. The Salmon Fishery Act Amendmentgtillowas passed through committee. The other bills were advanced a stage. In answer to the Marquis of Wssrmaarn, Earl Gasirvms said no permission was asked, or required, to authorise a curtain to be drawn over the Ten Oornmandmeits iu the Liverpool Prison during the performance of the Roman catholic service. Earl Da Gas: said that the hymns in the book entitled "Hymns, ancient and modern, for use in the services of the church," were used in the ser vices for the army and navy. The house then adjourned. lx the House of COMMONS, at a morning sitting, Colonel W. Parr:: called attention to the state of the private business of the house, and to the report of the committee on the Court of Referees on Private Bills, and having stated the various changes which had been made in the mode of conducting private business in order to meet its great Increase in the last seventeen years, urged that the system had not worked efficiently. In the course of last session an attempt at a remedy bad been made, by appointing a court of referees, which was to relieve committees from the consideration of all engineer ing and statistical branches of inquiry. A trial of this system having been made, the result was, notwithstanding some conflict of opinion, that it appeared that both tints and expense had been saved ; and the committee which inquired into the matter had decided to recommend that the courts of referees should be continued ; and the hon. gentleman moved a standing order to the effectthat the chairman of ways and means, and such other persona as the Speaker might appoint, shall be referees to form one or more courts of at least three members—the chairman of each court to be a member of the house. He suggested that, looking to the onerous nature of the duties, the chairmen, though members of the house, should be paid. After a long discussion, in which much objec tion was made to coming to any decision on the subject of tke payment of chairmen of the courts of referees, and an opinion almost generally a:premed that the only step which the present par liament at this time of the session was competent to take was a mere continuance of the existing system of referees for another year it was arranged that the motion should be confi ned to a standing order continuing the referees, and the question of pay ment of chairmen postponed to next session. The Clerical Subscription Bill and the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill, as amended, were 001113i &fed. The County Courts Equitable Jurisdiction Bill, the Expiring Lulea Continuance Bill, and the Poor-law Board Continuance Bill were read a third time and passed. At the evening sitting, Mr. LONOPIILD called attention to the report of the committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, and observed that brim within three months a distinguished member of her Majesty's government had caused formal inquiries to be made into the distribution of the patronage at his disposal, and had been known to have allowed officials to be pus/ied from their places in order to bestow them on members of his family. The honourable gen tleman then, at length, went into the circumstances al the inquiry before the select committee, and the transactions between Mr. Miller and Mr. Wilde, Mr. R. Bothell, Mr. Welch, and the Rev. (I. Hauling, in reference to the disposition of the registrarship at Leeds, and the conduct of the Lord Chancellor, against whom he spoke in the inset unmcaaurcal terms, accusing the ,„noble and learned lord of conniving at and 'el pating in a fraudulent and corrupt for giving to Mr. Welch • place for w ' . . - R-- - Mr. Welch had paid money to 'Mr. Bethell, his eon, and also in an attempt to transfer Mr. Welsh to London, and place Mr. R. Bothell in office at Leeds, which was not carried out because the Ed munds scandal had become matter of public noto riety. lie expressed his surprise that the noble and learned lord was under these circumstances still Lord Chancellor. He inquired what steps the government proposed to take in consequence of the report against the parties implicated by it. Had she pension to Mr. Wilde been recall ed, had Mr. Welch and Mr. Miller been dismissed from their offices, and bad the Lord Chancellor been asked to retire on a pension The ATTOILKET-GINIZAL protested against this motion as prematurely made, before the evidence taken by than/act committee was in the hands of members ; and yet the house was asked to reverse the decision of the essnmittee at once. He argued that on the facts it must be taken thattisterflatint cello? was no party to the alleged amp. raveafi-' m enus between his son and the o ther parties taw owned, for the Lord Chancellor had for • long time refrained from communication, either per ' smelly or by letter, with his sou ; nor was be an swerable for any act of his son assuming ever to I eine influence over his father. The appointment of Mr. Welch by the Lord Chaneellor . was made on grounds wholly unconnected with the corrupt teens actions in which his son we pt m and be was influenced by no corrupt motive whatever, and that was the opinion of the committee ; while be distinctly refused to appoint his son to any ethos, notwithstanding earnest solioitations which were made to him. The whole charge admitted by the committee against dm Lord Chancellor resolved itself into one of want of care and caution in rati fying Mn Wilde's pension. The government had determined to lay the evidence taken by the committee before the law officers of the crown, to decide whether the persons implicated could be subjected to criminal prosecution and Mr. Welch would be suspended during such Proceedings • and as to Mr. Miller, the committee did not implicate him in any corrupt transaction. Mr. 13. HARDT was of opinion that by his own admission the Lord Chancellor was blamable in the distribution of the offices at his t di this matter sposal ; and be thought that it w as necessary hat should have been brought before the house.' Mr. E. C. FAIRTON, a member of the committee, protested evilest the house coming to any decision before considering the evidence ; and be urged that the evidence should immediately be published. The LOILD•ADVOCATII, also a member of the com mittee, agreed in the opinion that the house should await the evidence, an d expressed his surprise and regret at the time and course adopted by Mr. Longfield ; and confidently defended the Lord Chancellor again st the charge of corrupt motives or conduct. Viscount Canseornitz defended Mr. Longfield from the accusations made against him, and urged that Mr. Miller wa s implicated in the setting up for sale of the patronage of the Lord Chancellor, and ought to be included in any proceedings which might be taken against the persons implicated in palpably corru pt transactions. Mr. Dermas said that the govern ment had undertaken to do exactly what the noble lord bad sunested. He observed that the committee had been hardly dealt with by the course which had been taken: After brief observations from Mr. Hennessy, Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Scully, Lord nixing:mu( expressed the pain and indig nation with which he bad listened to Mr. Long. field's speech z while admitting the right of one party to attack individuals of another ; yet be "Dust say that such persons had always had fair play in that house, which the Lord Chancellor had not re ceived. It appeared that Mr. Longfield had made assertions not borne out by the evidence. He was grieved at the bitterness of invective which the hon. member threw into the charges which he bad made against the Lord Chancellor, and he com plained of the manner in which the matter had been brought under discussion, without due notice be yond that of a mere question. He regretted that the hon. member had taken a course so unusual in the house. The subject then dropped. In answer to Mr. C. FORSTER, Lord Paissaacrox said that the prorogation would take place on Thursday week, the 6th July. The house then adjourned. Two characteristics will probably strike a die. _ - passionate foreign reader of British °lento. addresses--their sameness and their optimism. Political students over the water who read these laboured compositions must think us a very happy people, and it is conceivable that they think us also just a little Pharisaic, and just a little dull. Was there ever such a "damnable iteration" of stock phreass, cut and dried, and signifying nothing Was there ever such an exhibition before an admiring world of puny self-complacency and sleek satisfaction ? Was there ever such • chorus of sounding brass and tinkling cymbal 1 By what process, among the marvels of modern ' industry, is this vast and sudden production of political shoddy thrown upon the market ? How I are all these rags and bones of " principles " I worked up into a jargon, which no " fellow " can understand, but every " fellow " can write, it seems, with ease and confidence. Surely, in an age of mechanical invention, these election ad dresses must be turned out by a maohine, like prayers in Japan. Or, are they constructed on the same principle as ready-made MS. sermons ? An interminable procession of barrel organs, all playing variations on the same tune, could hardly assail the public ear with a more delightful har mony. Here are candidates who have sat silent in the House for six sessions, and were never known to hold an idea in their heads or to be capable of speaking or writing a single sentence of intel ligible English on any imaginable subject, who burst all at once into syntax and sem*, and come before constituencies as grave and earnest thinkers, as solemn statesmen burdened with the wisdom of experience and responsibility, as rulers who have been preserving and strengthening and enriching the country any time these six years, while an ignorant public supposed them to be lounging in the lobbies, or rushing in at the crack of the whip to divisions, or relieving the tedium of debate by boisterous after-dinner faction and frolic. It is really fortunate that a dissolution takes place every five or six years, or we should never fully know by how much wisdom we are governed, or at least " conserved." As we read these addresses day after day, we frankly confess our estimate of the amount of legislative wisdom that sits mute or inarticulate on both sides of the House from one general elec tion to another is wonderfully enlarged. Yet, amidst all the sameness and iteration, two distinct "motives " (to borrow a word from the musical critics) seem to run through most of these election addresses. And it is not very easy to de cide which of these two motives is the most re markable for originality and the least called for. Not to disturb the existing institutions of the country is the stern resolve of the rack of Conservative and Liberal candidates alike, but especially of Liberal- Conservatives; as if the hustings about to be erected in every borough and county town were to be erected as barriers and bulwarks against some tremendous popular tempest, threatening with instant destruction the throne, the altar, and the constitution, while the very candidates—whether Liberal or Conservative—who utter these alarming protests and warnings, appeal in the same breath to the order, contentment, and tranquillity around them as evidences of the folly of advancing too fast, or of the superior wild= of standing still. On the other hand, every candidate, however conser vative, declares himself in favour of some " well " eonsidered," or safe, or moderate measure of Reform. How is this, when Reform, as we have so often been reminded, is nothing more than a Radical cry, without an echo from any class of the oommunity There is a curious inconsistency in this mixture of alarm and optimism, of complacency and nest le/mess, which so many candidates betray. Perhaps it is that with the infinitesimal exception of those who venture to think for themselves, can didates have on this occasion borrowed their ideas from the select speeches of the monalasce for Chippenham and Stroud. And as those speeches were borrowed from the late Mr. Clams, this strange confusion of fact and fancy belongs to an era very different 15pliallinT*---111‘ w. 164 - i• now the happiness to live, sad elosald be dated 1828 instead of 1865. This oalrabows the silli ness of furbishing up your oonservative or liberal principle* in 1865 from the wardrobes of such political costumiers as Mr. Lows and Mr. Homan . . ' -• general election, however, is good for some thing more than the discovery of latent public virtue. However vacant or meaningless may be the programmes which candidates put forth, how ever destitute of original thought, they cannot fail to be the cause of thought in others. They arouse and stimulate the public mind. They stir the stagnation of the public conscience. They invite every peer by to a moment's reflection on the duties and responsibilities of public men, and on the (aurae and conduct of public affairs. They enlarge and exalt for a moment the coarse and creeping parochial mind, and strike the most frivolous and the most selfish with something like the sense of country and the sentiment of a na tional existence. Non-intervention, free trade, reduced taxation, enlarged representation of the people, economy and efficiency in the national defences, abolition of religious testa and disabilities—these are no mere abstractions, but positive and tangible results of policy which oome home to the understandings and to the ex perience of thousands of common taxpayers, whether electors or non-electors. There can hardly be a constituency in the kingdom so be nighted as not to own one elector at leaet3wbo knows what these commonplaces of every candidate's address really are, and what they are not ; and who can bring the smooth professions of a candidate to a short sharp test by examining him as to what his party and the leaders of bis party have done in office or out of I office to promote or to obstruct these great re- I sults. When a Conservative candidate declares himself in favour of non-intervention, let us know what his public language and votes were two years ago during the strain and stress of the American civil war. When he declares himself in favour of a well-considered or judicious Reform Bill, let us know how he spoke and voted whenever a bill for enlarging the representation of the people has been before the House. When he calls himself a friend to religions liberty, let us know how he I voted onthe Church-rate question, or on the Aboli tion of Tests in the Universities, or on the Catholic Oath or the Clerical Subscription Bill. When he is linsisting on administrative economy and efficiency, let us examine his votes on the army and navy estimates, or on the proposal to strike off five I millions from the revenue, for the relief of the Ibbriey growers. When be proclaims his adhesion to Free Trade, let us hear bow be spoke or voted on I the Commercial Treaty with France. When he pro tests his tender consideration for the unrepresented poor, let us call to mind his speeches or his votes on the Union Chargeability Bill. Deceit, we are told, lurks in generalities. It will be the fault of the Liberal constituencies if they allow candidates to carry a contraband Toryism into power under a neutral flag. IT is just a year ago that the disorganization o► the Liberal party in Ireland seemed to have reached its worst and final stage. In the vote on the affairs of Denmark, the Government had been deserted by eighteen Irish members, and the majority of these had made no secret of the fact that the part they had taken in the division was decided, not by the merits of the question, but by their fixed deter mination to put Lord P•ustaarot in a minority if they could. And yet, even at that moment there were not wanting sanguine politicians who I asserted that things had already oome to their wont—nay, that they were even then be , ginning to mend. The diagnosis of the disease had, according to these observers, been made plain even to Lord PLLMERBTON himself, and with this impor ' tent preliminary secured it was thought there would be little difficulty in devising an appropriate remedy. On the aasumpticn that the Liberal leader had at length learned, that if you want men to keep you in office you must do something to keep them in good humour, and that in order to obtain an Irishman's vote conciliation is preferable to insult, everything might be satisfactorily arranged. The only question was whether the Palma Miturrta's conversion was really as near as it was hoped, and whether its genuineness would stand the test of the succeeding parliamentary session. It certainly looks as though these predictions were now on the eve of turning out true. Incredible as it would have seemed last July, people are beginning to talk M the Government majority being increased by an accession of strength from Ireland, and even if we treat this particular specu lation as a mere item of sanguine gossip, it can hardly be doubted that Ministers may count on the support of the actual Irish contingent at the opening of the new Parliament with greater cer tainty than they have been able to do for some years. Ireland will no longer be an unknown quantity in the political equation ; the wants of her constituencies are ascertained, and therefore the votes of her representatives may be secured. The process by which this change has been effected has not been very costly in its character. The passage int* smooth water has not demanded the sacrifice of a Ministerial Jonah. The post of Chief Secretary for Ireland is still filled by Sir Rosser PEEL, and the Irish members seem to have condoned his disrespect to the Irish Bishops on the not very severe condition of an ex pression of regret that he had shown it. Two con cessions have sufficed to calm this troubled ocean, and when we consider how very small they are in I themselves, we can hardly be enough surprised that there could ever have been any hesitation ',about granting them. A hearty, though unano easeful support of a Bill introduced by a Roman Catholic member, and • consent to allow • Roman 'Catholic college to be affiliated to the Qatari's University—these are the only offers which the Government has had to make for its pur chase ; and it certainly cannot be de nied that they have got Ireland cheap. Of course it will be said by the Conservatives that if • nation is to be had on such terms as these its grievances can hardly be very serious. But it is at least as obvious a remark that where this is all ' that is demanded there is the less excuse for refusing it. The facility with which a wrong can be redressed only adds to the obligation of redrew lag it. It is a poor excuse for keeping a whole people in a state of irritation that the causes of their ill-will are too trifling to be worth doing away with. --- The reception which Mr. MONSILL'iI Bill has met with from the Conservative leader is the Rouse of Lords contrasts very curiously with the treatment it had previously received from the Con servative leader in the Rouse of Commons. A good deal of the difference may pro bably be attributed to Lord Dazev's nnoonquer rabies tendency to say whatever ootnes into his head ; and the " Rupert of Debate" certainly never did more to justify bin title than when he gave vent to the astonishing Mania which served to re firm an unusually heavy speech. But Lord ,'Dszef's want of caution, startling as it must have rag -ti his lieutenants, does not quite explain the which has come over the attitude of hie party towards Ireland. That change is in reality only another %stenos of the perverse results which commonly attend Mr. Drintalat's most earefully planned schemes. Nothing could be more loge nious than the overtures to the Catholic Members which he made in his speech on the Oath Bill. He had to essay an exceedingly delioate manceovre, to de tech the IrishCatholievotefrom the government with out detaching at the same time the Irish Protestant vote from himself ; and with this view he tried to conciliate the one party by maintaining a supposed safeguard of the Irish Church, while he did his best to make terms with the other by holding out sha dowy insinuations that if the Tories had continued in office a certain "venerable throne" might not have been weakened. For anything we know be might have succeeded, if it had not been for two things—his ignorance of Ireland, and his exagge rated estimate of the value of Parlia mentary tactics. The latter quality has probably done more to keep his party in oppo- sition than all other causes put together, and on the eve of • general election its action is pecu liarly detrimental. If members were returned for life Mr. 'helium might be a greet politician, but he seems utterly unable to realise the existence of a public out of doors, and in the present instance he made the further mistake of adapting his bid to the views of the English Roman Catholics, who return only one member, instead of to those of the Irish Roman Catholics, who exercise a real parlia mentary influence. The former, as a body, care a good deal for the temporal power of the POP. ; the latter ere equally good Catholics, but their religion is more allied to charity, in that it begins nearer home. The removal of an oath which makes them feel that their repreesn- Wives are " muzzled," and, in so far as they are so, incapable of representing them adequately, the concession of • certain status to their own denomi national University, and the consequent improve ment of the educational opportunities of their children, have • tangible value in their eyes which outweighs a whole possible blue-book of Lord MALMISBURYB unwritten despatches. Mr. DISRAELI 0001. d. only have gained their support by offering better terms than Lord PALKERSTON, and to have done this would have been to sur render without • blow the entire Conservative platform, and to throw his whole party into utter sad irremediable confusion. Lord DIARY'S speech on Monday wee a confession that the manoeuvre had failed, and that nothing remained but to iden tify himself more prominently than ever with the interests of political Protestantism in Ireland. Hereafter men may look back to the closing debate of the six years' Parliament as the first step in the contest between the Commons and the Lords on the question of the Irish Establishment. Lord DERBY has not been fortunate in his policy of parliamentary resistance, and we thankfully accept the omen. Tilt Dreeoximon.—Parliament is to be dis solved to-morrow (Thursday) week, the 6th of July. We believe this resolution will give very general satisfaction. The fear that any important interest may' suffer by the limitation of the time for transacting private business has been greatly ex aggerated, and, se Lord REDIVIDALE now admits, there will be less injury done than has been com monly assumed. On the other hand, as Earl Gnarrrixue observed last night, great inconvenience is sustained by large classes of persons through every day's delay of the dissolution, now that the public business of the country has been transacted. The House of Lords will sit to-mor row, and its standing orders relating to private bills will be suspended for the remainder of the session. A great number of private bills have passed within the last few days, and in the opinion of the Chairman of Committees, the parties to those which remain in an unfinished state at the dis solution will have themselves obieily to blame. The elections, early begun, will be the sooner over, and when the battle of the ?dazzlers and anti-Muzzlers is finished, we msy hope to settle down in the enjoyment of quiet and of the bountiful harvest which appears to be in store for us.

For the and time in living .6 South Yorkshire is to see tory candidates walk over. l. = those are not men who hare earned the forbearance of their opponent, by their long @serifs., by their preetital ascii& news, or by the moderation of their opinions. They are ferias of the etrateet ecai—men who think our represen tative system perfect, or, st least, men who have never seen a plea by which it could be improved—men resolved to up hold and extend church rates, end who would support Lord Derby sad Mr. Disraeli in their upposition to every step to carry out the principle of religious liberty.

This is the ant election for South Yorkehire. The riding bee been divided by an antiquated lino that imposes the utmost disadvantage upon the liberals. Aed, though we do not believe two good men, fairly ling the nage of opinion amoug the liberals, would defeated, that would have bees no disgrace.
