tion. He ' went in,' as our colonial phrase is, for the Liberal interest, and was returned, and cer tainly in that august assembly he did no discredit to the choice of his constituents. On presenting himself as a candidate he retired from the stage ; and from July to March he abstained from its temp tations—great as they must be to a popular and ranch applauded actor. But in March last he was tempted to reappear on the Ballarat boards for, I think, six nights, for the benefit of their local charities—the hospitals, benevolent asylums, &c. Re played to crowded houses, and the result was that very handsome sums were handed to the in stitutions in question. Upon this Coppin was attacked by the starched and straightlaced portion of the press. 'lf he had been a tragic actor,' said one, 'it would not have been objectionable—but Jem Bags ! faugh ! we shall never see him in coun cil again without calling for Hot Codlings." But Coppin, on taking his farewell at Ballarat, made an excellent and sensible address in reply, and has since declared that he will contribute to the benevolent institutions of the colony every year in the same Way. Now, this little colonial episode should not be altogether judged by a mother country standard; and yet I am not quite sure that something of the same nature might not be, at least, tolerated in your !till aristocratic House of Commons. Macready, for instance, is a gentleman—a man of good education and of unexceptionable character. If he, on his retirement from the stage, had got elected a mem ber of Parliament, would English fastidiousness have said nay ? I think not. Nor do I think his position would have been impaired by a subsequent appearance' for some charitable object. At all events, our Upper House is not composed of aristo cratic elements. It consists of men many of whom hive raised themselves to opulence from very humble beginnings. The clever actor is superior to many and behind none in creditable antecedents, and I am very certain that public opinion will support him in his determination of putting annu ally a few hundred pounds to the credit of our benevolent institutions." THE BOMBAY MAIL. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re• eeived files of Bombay papers to the 12th May. We take the following summary of news from the Bombay Times of that date : " There is but one thing talked of in India to-day, acid that is the state of our money-market. It would be disingenuous not to acknowledge the disposition shown in Calcutta to meet the views of the mercan tile and moneyed classes, as far as the Council is able to get light upon their wishes. The deference shown to their representations in matters of detail is almost obsequious and undignified. Thus, a noti fication concerning the issue of Treasury bills to bear interest at the rate of 21- pice a day, just pub lished, will be found to provide two forms of note, either of which the Government states its willing ness to issue, at the option of the purchaser. The difference between the two forms consists in the fact that the holder of form No. 2 can at any time, by giving three months' notice to the Government, compel it to redeem the note; whereas form No. 1 is irredeemable absolutely for one year. The bills are to be issued in sums of 200 r., 500 r., 1,000 r., 5 ,000 r.- and 10,000 r., and the interest is equivalent to 41 per cent. per annum. The second form will, we itnagine, be preferred, as having all the advan tages of the first, with the important additional re con amendation that it can be discounted at any time. "Meanwhile the panic in Bombay is at its height, While no surer evidence could be afforded of the beEdthful character of our trade in general than that the mercantile classes are able to escape the widest dis:ister. To say that discount is ruling 24 per cent. in t he bazaar is not to describe the state of matters Correctly, for money, in any quantity, is obtainable Upon no terms whatever. The mint is gorged with bullion, and the private banks have their last im portations upon their hands, the bazaar being lite rality unable to purchase the silver at any price. It Would be well if the gentlemen to whom we owe this. state of matters could be taken round to each of the bank parlours in the place, that they might listen to some of the complimentary things said about them. It would not be easy to estimate the extent of disaster which the financial blundering of the last few months has entailed upon all classes ; While the present remittances of silver from home to relieve the Indian treasury have made con fusion worse confounded, and induced the severest panic Bombay perhaps has ever experienced. Trade is at a stand, from the spasm which has seized the currency ; and there seems nothing left for the Place but to fall back upon a system of barter, and weigh out silver by the shekel. The mint certifi cates are issued at 50 days' date, but the tenderer of bullion has to wait a fortnight or three weeks before the certificate is granted, on the ground or the p re . fence that the mint authorities are unable to weigh it earlier. It is useless to sell to the bazaar, for the ilative buyer is unable to redeem his purchase. The stream has dried up and disappeared, and the cur rency is nowhere. The losses entailed upon holders securities or goods in these circumstances are per fectly crushing, and the extent to which prices have been affected may be estimated from the fact that cotton has fallen 15 rupees a candy within the last 10 days without finding buyers, while securities are unsaleable at any price. The paroxysm may subside in a few days, but there can be no effectual relief while the Home Government is remitting silver to this country. The operation makes ex change business so hazardous that the banks could only buy upon a large margin, even had they funds at command; while the bullion importations are so far in excess of the coining power of the mints that they only embarrass us with riches we are unable to use. " There are two alternatives, to one of which, were tlie Government wise, it would at once resort—viz., either to declare the English sovereign a legal ten der, and relieve the Bank of England from the Plethora of gold which afflicts it, or to declare the notes of the Indian banks such tender, and autho .rise their discounting the mint certificates, by an issue of paper to the extent required. A suspen sion of cash payments at the banks would be of very t r ifli n g moment, pending the conversion of the bullion. Either measure would be a legitimate id natural remedy for the present state of matters, and, with all deference to Lord Stanley, there is 4 0t a n argument made use of against a gold cur -444-elleY for India that is worth tw o minutes ' atten tu• If report speaks truly, the Bank of Bombay :t 8 had some hand in inducing the present state of t he Market, by having most unwisely, and unwar rantably, at such a juncture, invested 50 lakhs of 111 - re liees in the New Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Loan. L 4. the crisis last but a few days longer the failures ma the bazaar will be fearful, and we owe this state °f matters almost wholly to financial misgovern °lent." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORTON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKET, FROM THE 26TH OF APRIL TO THE 11TH OF MAY, 18 5 9. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam abix Madras, with the English mails of April 4th, and the Bombay, with the mails of the 18th of April, arrived here on the 28th of April and 11th last. respectively. A sudden and unprecedented panic has occurred in our money market. - IMPORTS. Cotton Piece Goods.—The business in our market is almost suspended, in consequence of the extreme Scarcity of money, and goods of all descriptions have declined. Gray shirtings have declined; gray T cloths are in moderate request at reduced rates.; Madapollams have not been much affected, and gray long cloths are dull of sale. Bleached and Fancy Goods.—Book muslins are 111 fair demand. Coloured lappets are in active. in quiry, and lappet scarfs continue steady. Yarns.—Most numbers of these goods have de ?lined, and the business both in mule and water has been to a moderate extent only. Dyed Turkey led yarn is rather dull, but orange and green are *" 1 fair request. Metals are also lower in price. English bar and square nail rod are dull, but not lower in prices, While lead and tin plates remain as before. Copp er, braziers' and sheathing, is in good demand, rather 'a favour of the buyer. EXPORTS. Cotton.—The scarcity in the money market has :used a decliite in prices, though all descriptions L . ' S coming in freely from the districts. The market as become dull. b i ,zehange.—The panic in the money market has b a (l aght about a material advance in the rates. The i lks are ready to draw at six months' on London at 2s• eh 2:l,d. to 2s. 20. Local bills are offering chiefly at 2s. 2/d. Credits and documents, at six o2Toths' sight on London, rule at 2s. 27 4 d. and 2s. 2r. respectively. On China we quote 211 r. to ur., nominal, per 100 dols., at 60 days' sight. aai llminage—Freights have not altered materially, ati ‘. We quote 11 7s. 6d. to £1 12s. 6d. to London, Chi na, Z 1 to £1 10s. per ton to Liverpool. To ma, 6r. to 74r. per candy. defied AT THE CAPE.—There still exists a great is fo a l abour in the colony. " The 2,000 immigrants t ‘,43:s the Cape Mail) who have arrived under the present El b.„ o ra s have rather increased than satisfied the demand for every description of labour, and if an equal number, Co as many, arrive this year, they will find little diffi st4"' Securing good wages and good prospects ; for, be "a/it the want of steady and experienced agricultural ser i- domestic servants, mechanics, and artisans, we shall c e o g l re for public works now in progress, or about to be ex ea raer iced, many hundreds, by-and-by some thousands, of bl a Zatoys or navvies, masons, bricklayers , carpenters, Dart ' enaiths, and the innumerable nondescripts that form a °f every busy hiv e o f wo rking men."--Cape and Xatal 010, CITY, Two o'CLocic. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts are of a more satisfactory character. During the past week increased animation has been apparent. At Manchester the demand for goods suitable to the India markets has been active and improved rates have been current. At Leeds a fair amount of business has been transacted for the time of year, the demand for light goods for the summer being now nearly over, Army and Navy cloths have been in good demand, and prices altogether are well sustained. At Bradford the inquiries for yarns and piece goods have been very inactive ; there has been a total suspension of the demand for the continent, and most of the manufacturers are now working short time. The hosiery trade at Leicester continues in a very satisfactory state ; the operatives in most in. stances are well employed, and the manufacturers are getting a remunerative price for their goods. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, busi ness has exhibited symptoms of improvement, and most branches of the iron trade continue moderately active. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a rather dull appearance, and 7,000 bales were sold, at previous rates. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices were firm. Ample provision appears to have been made for the commercial bills which arrived at maturity on Saturday, the 4th of the month. They were met in a satisfactory manner, and as they represented a comparatively small aggregate amount, owing to the curtailment of trade, their effect upon the discount market was unimportant. The condition of the market remains unchanged, the supply of capital being abundant and the demand exceedingly quiet. The grain trade is flat to-day, but, compared with Monday last, very little change has taken place in prices. Upwards of 13,000 sacks of foreign flour arrived last week. The Stock Exchange Market has presented a favourable appearance to-day. In Consols the rise at one time amounted to 2 per cent., and several transactions are recorded at the improved quotation. Since then, however, some sales have been effected, which have led to a slight reaction, although the market is still rather buoyant. Consols for money and the July account have been 931 1, but they are now 93 Bank Stock is flat at 219 to 220. The New Threes are steady at 921, and the Reduced at 921. India Loan Debentures are firm at 94.1 ; and the Bonds at 9s. to Bs. dis. Exchequer Bills at 225. prem. A remittance of £3,000 has been received by the Port Philip Company. Their advices are very favourable. Foreign Securities, in which a larger business has been transacted, have also improved. Turkish 6 per Cents. advanced to 69 70, and the New to 58 59 ; the latest quotations are 67 69, and 57 59, respectively. The 4 per Cent. guaranteed were 1011 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are 401 41 ; ditto De ferred 281 1 . -; Russian 4.1 per Cents. 931 ; Sar dinian 77 to 771 ; and Portuguese 421. Mexican Stock is 17, 1 ,-, and Buenos Ayres 76. A rather limited business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, but more firmness has been apparent, several of the principal lines having improved to I- per cent. Lancashire and York shire and Midland have advanced 55.; Caledonian, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Great Western, North Western, and South Eastern, 10s. ; and Bristol and Exeter, £1; Stockton and Darlington, and North British have declined about 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been rather buoyant. Paris and Lyons have advanced £1; Lombardo- Venetian, 5s to 10s. ; Sambre and Meuse, ss. ; East Indian £1 ; and Great Indian Peninsula, ss. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown little variation of importance. London and Westminster have improved ss. ; Ottoman Bank, 10s. ; and Union of London, ss. to 10s. ; London Chartered of Australia declined 10s. ; Australian Agricultural, ss. ; Red Sea Telegraph and Madras Irrigation have realised former rates.

Masterofthe (Before the Rolls.) THE BANK OF LONDON V. TYRREL, &C. The Solicitor-General was heard for the plaintiffs in this cause. The plaintiffs filed their bill for restoration of the surplus profits received by the defendants on the sale of the Old Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, to the director of the London Banking Company, in respect of a breach of professional and fiduciary duty as solicitors of the bank, in concealing and not revealing the fact that they were joint owners of the property sold to the bank, whereby a higher price was obtained by them from the bank than they would have paid for the property sold to them if this fact had been known. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., followed on the same side. The ease is not concluded. SHERIFFS' COURT. -;t)-. LOAN SOCIETIES AND THE 1300R.--WALICEH AND.OTHERS V. BRIAN.

ROGERs * This was an application for a new trial by defendant, against whom judgment had passed in default of his ap pearance on the last occasion. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and opposed the application. The sum for which the plaintiff had obtained judgment was one charged for making out defendant's balance-sheet for the Bankruptcy Court, and plaintiff, who is an accountant, had not been paid one penny. The defendant said that plaintiff agreed to make out the balance-sheet for the sum allowed by the Court, £l2, and plaintiff should have obtained that sum from'the assignees. Mr. Buchanan said that defendant had received out of the estate in bankruptcy £26, and should have paid plaintiff. His Honour said he would grant a new trial, if defendant would pay £l2 into court, and the costs of the day.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. For all kinds, however, the demand ruled heavy and prices had a drooping ten dency. Barley realised previous rates, but the transactions in it were limited. Oats and all other spring corn met a dull inquiry. Throughout the continent wheat and flour have sold slowly on easier terms. Spring corn has supported previous rates In America produce generally has been quoted at drooping prices. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were limited. From abroad the supplies were liberal, viz., 21,634 quarters of wheat, 4,163 of barley, 19,863 oats, 41 45 peas, 1,190 linseed, 3,385 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 13,260 sacks, and 711 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate. ' Although the show of samples was comparatively smalL, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce rule,d very inactive, In prices, however, compared with Mr n .. day last, no quotable change took place. The general quality of the samples was tolerably good. There was rather a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. Fine dry samples of both red and white were held at very full prices, but the demand for them was by no means ac tive. I4ow and damp parcels moved off heavily, on former terms. The demand for floating cargoes was heavy. Barley, the supply of which was limited, changed hands slowly, but prices were supported. We have to report a dull sale for malt, on fonner terms. Good sound oats were in fair request at full prirJes. Low and damp qualities were dull, but not eheap.,-z. Beans were very scarce and quite as deny as last week. In peas very little was passing on former terms. took The flour trade e was in a slug g i s h state, but no change place in. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Sales progressed steadily, and prices had an upward tendency. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were moderate, compared with last week ; but their general quality was tolerably good. For most breeds the demand ruled steady, but by no means active, and in some instances prices were a shade higher than last week—the primest Scots and crosses having sold at 4s 8d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 2,150 Scots, shorthorns, and cros ses ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 170 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 90 oxen, &c. There was a material falling off in the supply of sheep when compared with Monday last. All breeds were in steady request, at an improvement in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. The best old Do•,vns sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. We had an improved demand for lambs, at 2d per 81bs above last week's currency. Calves—the supply of which was rather limited—were in steady request at 2d per 81bs more money. There was very little business doing in pigs, at late rates.

The imports have amounted to 200 tons from Dunkirk, 50 tons from Calais, and 5 tons from Antwerp. The demand is very inactive, at about the fol lowing quotations : York Regents, 90s to 130 s ; do.

During their progress 62,330 bales were disposed of, at a decline in the quotations of from lid to 3d per lb. There has been only a limited business doing in the private contract market, yet holders generally have been somewhat firmer in their demands. No wool arrived in London last week. SEEDS. Linseed continues a very slow inquiry, at barely last week's prices. Rapeseed is dull at further reduced rates. Canary meets a moderate sale at full prices; but in other seeds next to nothing is doing.

THIR D EDITION SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA. PARIS, JUNE 6. The following telegram from the Emperor to the Empress has been posted up at the Bourse : HEAD-QUARTERS, MONDAY, 8 A.M, Milan is insurgent. The Austrians have eva cuated the town and castle, leaving in their preci pitation cannon and the treasure of the army behind them. We are encnmbered with prisoners, and have taken 12,000 Austrian muskets. COMO, JUNE 6 News has arrived here of the victory of Magenta. 5,000 Austrian prisoners have been taken, and 15,000 Austrians killed and wounded. General Urban has retreated to Monza, and General Garibaldi has quitted Lecco. The following official Austrian telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office : VIENNA, JUNE 6, 11.30 A.M. A desperate combat took place the day before yesterday between the first and second (Count Clam's and Prince Edward Lichtenstein's) corps d'cii•mee and the enemy, who had passed the Ticino with very considerable forces. The result of the contest was undecided. The combat continued yesterday (Sunday). Our troops threw themselves upon the enemy s ranks with ardour, and shewed a valour and perse verance worthy of the most glorious feats of arms of the Imperial army. Milan is perfectly tranquil. The headquarters yesterday were still at Abbiati Grasso. NAVAL APP OINTMENTS. The following appointments were made this afternoon at the Admiralty : Lieutenants—W. P. Pauli, J. M. Morris, C. R. Ma berley, Henry S. Vaughan, and A. J. V Collins, to the Excellent ; R. P. Fitzgerald, to the Emerald ; F. H. Hastings, to the Edgar; A. G. Bogle, to the Excellent. The undersigned mates have (been promoted to rank of lieutenant :—C. W. S. Blount, and A. C. Adams. TATTERSALLS'-(THIS EVENING.) THE DERBY SETTLING. The room was attended by all the winners and many of the losers on the Epsom week, and money changed hands with a satisfactory rapidity. Mr. S , whose defalcations have long been the subject of conver sation in sporting circles did not show, whilst Mr. W , " the copper captain," made an offer to pay seven shillings in the pound, but there is little chance of his meet iag all his liabilities. No attempt was made to resume speculation. LUPE RIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS—(Tms DAY). Their Lordships assembled this day at two o'clock. The swearing in of peers occupied their lordships till their adjournment. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tars DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past one o'clock. Amongst the members presenting themselves to take the oath was Alderman Salompns, one of the members for Greenwich. The usual oath was tendered to the hon. member, which he refused to subscribe to. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that as the hon. member for Greenwich was unable to subscribe to the oath from con scientious motives, and was, therefore, incapacitated from taking his seat, be should move that the last words of the oath, viz., " on the true faith of a Christian" be, therefore, omitted. (Hear, hear.) G. Sir GREY seconded the motion. Mr. NEWDEGATE entered his protest against such a proceeding. He felt bound to oppose the motion. The hon gentleman then restated his old opinions with respect to the subject. At the conclusion of his remarks, it being thought, that he intended to press for a division, The SPEAKER directed those members who had not been sworn to withdraw. This was accordingly done, but after a few observations rom Lord John Russell, the motion was agreed to without a division. Alderman Salomons, Baron Lionel Rothschild, and Baron Meyer Rothschild then advanced to the table and were sworn, the last sentence of the oath being omitted by the clerk. The swearing in of members continued up to the rising of the house. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOPLIFTING AT SWAN AND EDGAR'S.—Mary Morella, a respectable-looking woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing, at 10, Piccadilly, 76 yards of silk, of the value of £15145., the property of Wm. Edgar and others. Frederick Gore Beaton, assistant to the prosecutors, the well-known silk mercers of 10, Piccadilly, said that on Saturday afternoon the prisoner came into the shop and purchased 14i yards of silk and some lining, which came to £3 7s. 7d., which she requested to be sent to 16, Argyll place. He (witness) was spoken to by a person which in duced him to go outside, and he then noticed the prisoner hitching up her dress outside. He returned to the shop and asked her to step inside, and she did so. Mr. Robert Hope, one of the partners in the firm, said he saw the prisoner return to the shop, he standing close to her at the time, when he saw the silk produced drop from under her clothes. It was 76 yards in length, and of the value of £l5. He asked her to go into a private room and she did so, but seemed all the while very anxious to get away. Edward Warren, police constable 66 C, said he took the prisoner into custody and received the silk produced at the time. The prisoner was remanded, there being strong reason to believe that she is a practised shoplifter. THAMES. DARING STREET ROBBERY.—William Phillips, a boy about 15 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a purse containing 15s. from the person of Jane Todman. The prosecutrix is the wife of a Thames police inspector, stationed on board the ship Scorpion, off Millwall. On Saturday night she was passing along High-street, Poplar, when the prisoner and another boy approached, looked at her in the face, and at the same moment she missed her purse, and saw the prisoner, who was next to her, pass some thing to his companion. She raised an alarm instantly and seized the prisoner. The other boy ran away, and was immediately pursued by a gentleman who was passing, but he slipped up a court and got away. She was sure the prisoner took her purse, which contained 155., and gave it to the other boy. Mr. Selfe—Did you see him do it ? Mrs. Todman—No, but he was next to me, and as he stared at me I missed my purse and saw him hand some thing to the other boy. Mr. Edwin Ondler, No. 1, Trinity-square, Tower-hill, said he saw the prisoner and another boy in company on Tower-hill on Saturday night and watched them He saw them close to the prosecutrin, and heard the alarm given. He pursued the boy who received the purse, but there were so many persons about that he could not find him. He had seen the prisoner and another boy on Tower-hill while the soldiers were being drilled. The prisoner, in defence, said he was an honest, hard working boy, and lived in Barnsley-street, Bethnal-green. Copping, a police-constable, No. 379 K, s aid he had seen the pri soner almost daily with thieves f or the last 18 months. The prisoner was convicted in that court for stealing a pistol, and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner was on Epsom-downs on Friday, and he drove him off the course. Mr. Selfe said that the prisoner was taking to thieving as a profession, and the next time he was brought before him and a case was made out, he would commit him for trial. At present the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, June 6.—Wind this day at noon—S.W. ; light, with fine sunshiny weather.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF Music.—The performance for the first time in public of various MS. works, composed by pupils, is attracting attention to the second concert, next Thursday, which will be honoured with the presence of H.R.H. the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Maty of Cambridge, in addition to a large party of the nobility, invited by the Earl of Westmorland, as chairman of the committee of ramlceinent, MEETING OF PARLIANENT. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) Now that the meeting of the new Parliament is about to take place, the actual position of parties is engaging the attention of the public. It appears to be admitted on all hands that the returns have been very different from that which was generally expected. Mr. Bright and his party must be considerably surprised to find that the country ha s manifested a degree of supineness and indifference to his war cry of liberty which they had never imagined possible. Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell must be disappointed at the very little enthusiasm which has been shown throughout the country in support of their views. Ministers must also have seen with no little astonishment the success which has attended the efforts of their friends in various quarters where such succet3 could be little expected. Accordingly the Times, which has all along blamed Ministers for dissolving Parliament, now turns round and declares that Lord John Russell's resolution was "as mere a blunder as any tyro in politics could commit in a moment of rash confi dence." " What in the name of common sense," it asks, "of Cocker, and of all that is calculable, what has been gained by this precious Resolution ?" " The responsibility of all that has followed dates from the first declaration of war—Lord J. Russell's resolution." "What, then," the Times proeeeds to inquire, " has this resolution done ?" "So far as regard's the balance of parties it has given Lord Derby 26 seats or 52 votes in a division. This is so much gain, and is not to be explained away. We cannot help looking back to the very hard fought battle, on a very definite issue, which Lord Derby lost by 39 votes, and with that recent instance we cannot but think Lord Derby has every reason to rejoice with a gain of 52 votes on a division. So Lord Derby, says the Times' writer, may well pray "that Lord John may always direct and con found the politics of the Liberal cause." So we are further told that Lord John " has shelved for this year Parliamentary Reform," that "the whole year has been lost to the country," and so the conclusion of the matter is that nothing has been gained but a " moral lesson" for Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell. "A year," said our King Charles 2d, "is h good deal out of a man's life," and the country will be inclined to think that the " loss of a year," the loss of money, loss of character to our Parliamentary system, and loss of patience at this petty, paltry, political strife, is " a good deal" to pay for a moral lesson to those promising young Statesmen, Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston. In the meanwhile the representatives in the pub lic press of the contending parties are casting up their accounts, and analysing the return lists of members. The Ministerial paper, the Morning Herald, divides the new members into 306 sup porters of Lord Derby, 107 of Lord Palmerston, 148 of Lord J. Russell, 28 of Mr. Bright, and 65 independent members. A carefully drawn up list published in The Sun`gives 299 Ministerialists and 356 Liberals ; and by this computation the Liberal majority which in 1857 was 98, is reduced in the present Parliament of 1859 to 57, that is the Mini sterialists have gained 41 votes. The fact of upwards of 100 members of the new Parliament being new men must, however, be taken into account, Till some great division has taken place it is impossible to estimate correctly the exact shade of political opinion of a great part of these new members. • Till such a division takes place the opinions ex pressed out of doors by politicians of various shades of party deserves some attention. Sir John Ramsden stated at a great meeting of his supporters at Leeds, on Monday last, that he was prepared to contradict the rumour that he had been selected by the Opposition to move a vote of want of confidence in Ministers, in the second week of the session. "No such proposition," said Sir John, " has ever been made to me ; and if it were I should decline it ; and for this reason, that I consider that the member of the House of Commons who takes upon himself to propose to Parliament to dismiss a Ministry, in order to justify such a course should be able to assure the House of Commons that he sees his way to the founda tion of a more lasting and. stronger Govern ment. I must say," added Sir John, " with the deepest regret, that in the present divided state of our leadership, I do not see my way to any such result." Sir John here speaks, as we think, to the point. If Ministers do wrong turn them out, if you can, but do not try to turn them out with one only motive,—that of getting yourselves in. But a more remarkable speech is that of Mr. Roebuck, at Milford. The honourable member for Sheffield generally speaks out, and on this occasion he was evidently in the humour for telling " his friends" and the country a bit of his mind. "We shall be called upon about 7th June," says Mr. Roebuck, " to decide whether or not the English. Parliament will put faith in the present Govern ment, or that which is looming in the future." And what, he asks is this coming Administration ? "It is that which I have seen," he says," for 26'years ever combining with the most violent professions of public policy, mid regard for the public interest, the most intense consideration for private emolument." " Shall we have," he proceeds " Lord Palmerston or Lord Derby for Prime Minister ?" " I shall be found," he says " when the oppositioncomes, in the camp of the people of England, and that camp I sincerely believe to be opposed to Lord Palmer ston." " What," he asks, ",am I, an independent member, to de, who have to chose between one side or another ? I say that the least mischief may come from not changing the Administration, and what is more, I believe we shall succeed in prevent ing that change." " I say,—for God's sake—don't chose Lord Palmerston." There can be, and Mr. Roebuck evidently intends that there shall be, no mistake about this. Mr. Roebuck is still a "Liberal," but he will not be a member of the Whig tail, whether Lord Palmerston or Lord John be the head. - Weznay turn to another public declaration, that of ' Mr. Bright, made, at Birmingham, to a meet ing of non-electors. A more trumpery affair than this last Brummagem speech of Mr. Bright can not be conceived. In the first place; as Mr. Bright pretends to be a man of peace, and won't fi g ht either on public or private grounds, he ought to be decently civil in his lan guage. We suggest to i Mr. Bright, that in speatling of Lord Derby " as that great public malefactor,' he makes use of language which he dare not use in Parliament, and. which he ought to be ashamed, as either a man or a gentleman, of using, even if he were ready to take the responsibility of such language—which he is not ready to do. i But this is merely a want of good taste and right feeling. Mr. Bright's speech is altogether a shallow and puerile affair. We make allowance, indeed, for his being a disappointed man. He meets the non-electors of Birmingham—he tells them, "in evil times," the !country has refused to accept Mr. Bright as its guide, philosopher, or friend. The English people think Mr. Bright an unsafe guide, an unsound philosopher, and a , dangerous friend. And so Mr.ißright has fallen upon evil times. The fact is, Mr. Bright is degenerating into a mere demagogue pure and simple. He abuses the English. Parliament for keeping up the Corn Laws—it being a well known fact, stated by Adam Smith, the Apostle of Free Trade, that the protective system in this country originated with the body t o w hi c h M r . Bright belongs, and to which he owes everything—the trading community in the towns. He tells the people that they now condemn the great war with France, when he knows that the people, at the time of the wa r , were en th u siastic supporters of that war. He tells the people that theb b e tter rretshen tative system, which has succeeded any that ever existed in h be e its faults an is people all " a form and a farce." Me h ng war. As what they may—had bec t o h m e e w E l e i r tt l lF better than. wish to remain neutral in t et fact, pr esent act,he doubt s the Mr. Bright cannot_ profession. h He abuses the Church, Dissenter; n but he abuses also the rifle club sincerity which ia naturalo f the militia, the yeomanry, dEnglish.movement, and in fact everything manly . an . From tbe whole tenor of his speech it might be supposed pFofe vr Bright and Mr. Roebuck had not an idea that i . the in a i n common. Everything in Mr. Bright's address leads to the conclusion that, except the 700 non electors of Birmingham and Mr. Bright himself, everybody, every institution, and every feeling in England, is corrupt and rotten. ~ England," said Mr. Roebuck on Saturday last, ~ is now at the very apex of civilisation—she is the Sheffield, torch of liberty. All th a t i s great and liberal in upon 'Asth E e n the government of m an ki n d has emanated from England." England," ,"susnayesf my member f o r " I oSheffield,eolodk, ' existence, and to her welfare, and the consideration Of her well-being, I would sacrifice my existence." Mr. Roebuck, though an advanced Liberal, is also an Englishman in feeling and in' practice. But here is Mr. Bright, because the country will not go with him at this present moment in extending the franchise to such a class of Englishmen as he thinks and hopes would secure to him the emolu ments of office and enable him to govern the country in his own particular way, ready to scold like a woman, and vilify all those institutions which have conferred on him every advantage of pos iti on ion w hic h he bas attained. Mr. Bright must learn to bear with his country, if it will not take him exactly at his own prewsterous estimation.
