G LEXIE, Sporting Library, 4, Connaught-terrace, Edgeware-road, delivers the LATE EDITION of "THE SUN " at the earliest possible moment after leaving the press. He is able to deliver Copies in Town, the Suburbs, and in many parts of the country at a comparatively early hour the same evening, say 40 miles by 9.45 o'clock . . A very just complaint has been made by the non official members of the House of Lords, on account of the inconsistent arrangement of the Parliamentary work of the Session. There arc two sides to every question, and those who sneer at the incapacity of lorlings, and remark on the dolce far niente style of procedure in their House, forget that the occupants of the prim benches of the Upper School are not their own masters in respect to the work they per form. The first part of the Session is literally thrown away, so far as the House of Lords is concerned, and when the heat of summer brings lassitude and the Commons are well-nigh worn out with the fury of their long continued strife, the pressure of work on the Peers is something alarming. They :cannot possibly manage to do it all, and they cannot do any part of it properly, so one measure is dropped and an other hurried over, while perhaps here and there a parti cular case of importance attracts attention. Then on all aides indignant murmurs arise as to the obstinacy and infatuation of the Lords in wasting time in empty discourse when matters ought to be wound up. Surely it would be wise to consider these things be times, and at the spring-dawn of another session to amend the error of past ways. So far the Govern ment have done well in the general outline of public business ; but they have, of course, made sundry mis takes in particular affairs, and this want of work for the Lords is one. Lord CHELMSFORD on Thursday called attention to the fact that Lord GRANVILLE had promised them a fair amount of public business at once, and asked why the Bankruptcy Bill was to be introduced into the 'louse of Commons. So many noble and learned lords were competent to deal with this question that it seemed the more extraordinary that such an arrangement should have been made. Lord SALISBURY followed up the attack in one of his forcible speeches, and set forth the wrongs of that House of which be is so prominent a member. Their enforced idleness before Easter led to a crush of work at the fag end of the session, and the result was most unsatisfactory. The physi cal power of the Legislative Assembly failed under the pressure of the flood of bills that came up from the Commons at the beginning of each July. We must really coincide with the noble mar quis in his opinion on the matter, and recognise the truth of his assertion that "it was a sham to call that House a Legislative Body," and then t o expect it to perform Legislative duties at the fag end of the Session, allowing only 10 or 15 minutes for each bill. Lord GRANVILLE made one of his smooth replies, and admitted the truth of what had been said on the subject. He declared, however, that the evil was one of ancient date, for 15 years ago Lord ABERDEEN had said that during the fifty years over which his memory extended, the s one thing could be said. It appears that the noble lord himself has a grievance on the matter, for he bad been taken by surprise at finding, with regard to two bills on which he had counted, that notice was given on the first night of the Session of their introduction into the llouse of Commons. He wound up with the consoling assurance that he would impress upon his col leagues the claims of their lordships for business to be provided whilelthey, had time to transact it. Lord CAIRNS spoke very much to the purpose, and suggested that the Government should reconsider the course they might take with respect to the Bank ruptcy Bill. The importance of that measure was so considerable that, according to present arrange ments, it could not reach that House before the end THE most laborious of inquiries, and the most voluminous collection of official information, have produced their first-fruits in the shape of the Endowed Schools Bill. The measure is not worthy of the exhaustive investigation of the Schools Inquiry Commission, but its shortcomings are inevi table from the nature of the proposed law. Its opera , tion will be only temporary, and will lapse in the space of three or four years, when the time will have arrived for the entire reform suggested by the com mission. The radical amendment of the present system of secondary education cm be .effected only as part of the revision of all the branches of public instruction. But in the meanwhile the temporary measure is founded wholly on the report of the commission, and embodies several important stipulations from which immediate benefit will be derived. The admirably comprehensive report of the commission recommended that for the future endowed schools be divided into three classes, the distinction to be by the age of the pupils. The first class was to be devoted to the education of boys who remain at school to the age of 18 or 19 ; the second grade would be determined by an age limit of about 16; and the third limit would be fixed at 14. As the duration of a pupil's education depends upon his social position, this division into grades would be really a . provision for the different wants of different classes. Beyond this the Commissioners recommended that Parliament interfere in the disposal of any endowment where it appeared that the object of the donor was no longer of public benefit. Lastly, it was agreed that the endowments ought to be more equally distributed, so that there should no longer be a surplus in, some districts, and comparative destituti on in others. To carry out some of these reforms, the bill brought in by Mr. FORSTER proposes to create a commission which shall have power to review the educational endowments of the country, and recom mend alterations in the trust deeds, subject to the sanction readay Parliament. form of ed,endwo Such rk more a advantageously body wi I l b for the Boa a t .as em r p e o c r o a m ry p me u n r d p e o d ses in o t f h t e he s ß ch ill oo , t ls ha l n n t q h u e Pro iry srincal report. i And though it will not enjoy all the powers which it was proposed to confer on the Provincial Boards, its functions will be so extensive as to secure many of the most needed changes. The Commission's power to submit trust deeds to Parliament for alteration, at once strikes a blow at the greatest abuses of the present system. It will now be no longer possible for money to be wasted on the instruction of single pupils, or in teach ing subjects which, useful enough at the time the endowment was made, are utterly unfit for the requirements of this age. Latin and Greek will no longer be inflicted upon boys in all but the humblest ranks, to the prejudice of teaching which might fit them for the duties of life. In short, the will of a donor who had no conception of the requirements of the nineteenth century will not be allowed to prevail over the public good. This is by no means all that is needed—it does not affect ; for instance, the management of schools—but it is much, and is the precursor of more. THE Millennium is come at last. The Orange lion has lain down with the Ultramontane lamb ; the Kerry leopard has made friends with the Antrim kid. Mr. JoHNSTON, M.P. for Belfast, has moved, and the O'DoNoGituE, M.P. for Tralee, has seconded, a motion for repealing the Party Processions Act. 1 Mr. JOHNSTON was lately in prison for violating that Act; Mr. o '- D °Nocillim needs no intro duction to identify .him, When two such men agree touching any one thing, denial must surely be unwise, impossible. And yet what is it that they Want ? The repeal of an Act which was passed to prevent them from quar relling ; the repeal of an Act which forbade the wearers of yellow to celebrate the siege of Derry and the battle of the Boyne, and the wearers of green to break the heads of the others for doing so. Both parties desire to break each other's heads. Why should they not do so ? Only if we g i ve th em l ea ve to do so it will not be quite the Millennium that we shall see. It is not for nothing that lion and lamb, leopard and kid are asking for freedom to bark and bite. Give them that freedom , and they will assuredly not only bark and bite, but growl and fight, " for 'tis their nature t 0.,, JI'LEAN'S AA:\ UAL EXHIBITIOAV OF OIL FAINTLY GS. The fourth annual exhibition of oil paintings, British and foreign, is now open at Mr. M'Lean's new gallery, 7, Haymarket, and a finer collection of pictures has rarely been witnessed. Notwithstanding that Mr. M'Lean has had to encounter a sharp competition he has succeeded in spite of all , opposition in collecting and arranging for the inspection of the public about ted "oils" of the highest character ; many of them, indeed, having a con tinental reputation, and most of which will not fail to delight all true admirers of the fine arts. In the exhibi tors we meet with no picture of trifling merit, each one is a gem in its particular sphere ; and, unlike other exhibi tions, Mr. M'Leans' specialty is quality as well as quan tity ; the rule in general being the reverse. Space permits us but briefly to enumerate the most beautiful amongst the beautiful, and thus we begin with " May Blossom," by W. Bouguereau, in which the flesh tints of the principle figure are surpassingly fine. " Capri._ gathering mangos," by E. S a in, is a delightful picture, so is the "Confessional," by Gustave deYonghe. C. Marchall's two celebrated paintings "Penelope" and "Phryne" adorn the c.lleetion, and Merles "Marguerite" at once attracts and retains the attention of the visitor. The "Artist's Model," by Frith, is remarkable for the clever way in which the lights are dealt with, and many of the visitors will at once recognise both the place and the artist at work therein. Ther e i s a couPle:a s plendid Webb's, one "On the Dort, evening," the other "Rough weather, morning." John Pettie contributes a very high class painting, " Persuading Papa ;" and Mr. E. Nicol another, "The new Tenant." There is a wonderful specimen of flesh painting by Perrault, the pupil of Bouguereau ; but the most remarkalle painting in the Exhibition is J. Linnell, senior's hst and we believe his greatest efforts, viz., the " Thund e r Cloud." This great picture is in itself quite an exhibition, and one that will call forth both wonder and surpri. "Making Houses" by Frere, " A Pet Bird" by Snath," " Maternal Cares" by W. Oliver, and Poole's "Ccming down the Hill" are all splendid specimens. Mr. M•Lent doubtless will receive general praise for this his fourth exhibition, but that will be nothing more than he wdl deserves. =PLANATION Barometer corrected and reduced to 32 deg. at sea level.

Since yesterday morning a decrease in atmospherical pressure has set in at all stations in the British Islands, and amounts to two tenths of an inch in the west of Ireland, what in the S.W. of France a slight recovery has occurred. The reading at Nairn is, however, only O'32in. lower than that at Rochefort. Temperature has changed irregularly, but not much. The reading received from Ardrossan yesterday seems doubtful. In these islands light airs and calms prevail, but the general direction of the wind is more from S.W. than it was yesterday. At Valencia a northerly wind con tinues, and a north-easterly breeze in the S.W. of France. Some rain has fallen in the west. The sky is cloudy, with fog ; mist and rain in places.

The death of Captain Wardlaw, from injuries re ceived whilst hunting with the North Warwickshire hounds, adds another name to the list of fatal accidents which have occurred in the hunting field this season. The season ap pears to have been unusually disastrous. A movement is on foot in Leeds with a view to the establishment of a Board of Conciliation in that town, for the settlement of trade disputes. Some conferences hale been held on the subject, but no plan of operations has yet been adopted.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF HER MAJ.ESTrS CUSTOMS' COMMISSIONERS. Dagenham Lake is situate between the Tilbury and Southend Railway and the north bank of the Thames, at a listance of eleven miles from renchurch-street Station, ind contains about sixty acres of water, and a company ias been formed for the purpose of making it into Jocks. Three separate and distinct Acts (unopposed) were )btained in 1855, 1862, and 1866, with powers altogether to -aise £750,000, and to purchase about 350 acres of land tround the shores of the lake. On the faith of these solemn and deliberate Acts, the public were invited, and haVe subscribed, a very :onsiderable sum, to carry out what Parliament leclared in the preamble of the said Acts to be a public necessity. About £160,000 has been actually expended in the purchase of land, the construction of works, &c., &c. An independent portion of the works, being a part of ',hose authorised by the said special Acts, was completed in April, 1868. It consists of a pier or jetty, with all necessary appliances for loading and unloading cargoes, and two 3olphins for the safe mooring of vessels. By means of a railway from its outer end to the Tilbury line (one mile iistant) the pier is connected with the whole railway system of the kingdom. It affords advantages to shipping which are not possessed by any other landing-place along the whole course of the river, having at its outer extremity a depth of 17ft. at low water, thus enabling the great majority of vessels to haul alongside or depart at any time of tide, thereby enabling coasters to make several more voyages in the year. For landing cattle the situation is unrivalled, having abundant pasturage close :It band. Two large warehouses, with capacity for the storage of many thousand tons of goods, have also been erected. A considerable amount of business having been promised, early in June last application was made to her Majesty's Customs for their necessary licence to land and ship free goods. This permit, however, her Majesty's Customsrefused to grant, without stating officially any reasons. After seve ral ineffectual endeavours to induce them to alter their iecision, an appeal was made to her Majesty's Treasury, who referred the case back to her Majesty's Customs to report a upon, and, f i ti e ea e targ cl aegis e tra l ig i s' e l l rl the company, attended by merchants who are large im porters of the goods in question, had audiences of the Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury and the Chancellor sf the Exchequer; memorials, signed by 133 of the leading mercantile firms in London, were presented to her Majesty's Treasury in July and October last, the purpose of which was that the carrying out of the works contemplated by the company would be hailed as a great boon by mer chants, insurance companies, and others, inasmuch as they would relieve the upper part of the river of part of the crowd of shipping, and also afford the greatest facili ties for storing separately hazardous and inflammable goods. The existing docks are surrounded by densely populated neighbourhoods, and great risk to life as well as property is incurred by this class of goods being stored in close proximity to them, as experienced by fires in the London Docks, St. Katherine's Docks, London Bridge, &c. Notwithstanding all the efforts that have been made and explanations given for the last eight months, by deputa tions, by personal interviews, and by correspondence, - luring which time the most grievous loss has been sus tained by the company, a definite and adverse reply to their application has at last been received. ft will scarcely be believed that any department of Government, however absolute the power conferred upon it, would advisedly ignore what the Legislature upon three separate occasions had deliberately sanctioned. Yet such is the power Her Majesty's Customs has assumed. And upon what grounds? "A. That the necessities of the port do not require such accommodation as this company can afford. "B. That the premises are remote and lonely. "C. That there are twenty-six wharves that wousu claim to be allowed the same privileges, if permission were granted to this company. "D. That the Crown would be put to the increased cost of officers and of supervision to protect the Revenue." Replies to the following effect have been submitted to Her Majesty's Treasury, viz.:— A. This objection is at variance with public opinion upon the subject, and with the proofs given upon the preamble of this company's several Acts, as also to the well-known fact that the annual increase of shipping entering the Thames is equal to 100,000 tons. It was shewn by the parties who signed the memorial that it would be for the general advantage that certain goods should be stored at Dagenham, and as many of them are large importers of the class of goods referred to, it may be conceded that they are the best judges of what would suit the interests of their trades. None of the firms who signed the memorial are in any way con cerned in the company, except as to the requirements of their trades. B. "That the premises are remote and lonely." This objection is not tenable, the property being only eleven miles from London, with a railway through and a station spun it. Her Majesty's Customs have actually an est:), )lislinient at Thames Haven, which is thirty-eight miles from London, on the same side of the river: Had Customs' privileges been granted to the company last June, the place would no longer be lonely, but hundreds, perhaps thousands of the starving workmen at the East end of London would at this moment be bringing their labour to a remunerative market, and the Government would have been spared the pressure which must come upon them very soon to afford th em relief I 0 by emigration or some other expensive process; whereas by the refusal of her Majesty's Custmis to grant the licence, the works have necessarily been stopped, and proceedings of every kind postponed for who would advance a sixpence when thus subject to their arbi trary fiat? C. " Twenty-six wharves would claim the same privi leges." The owners of these wharves are not under such re strictions as are imposed by a special Act in favour of the public. They have no special Acts, therefore they could ent claim the privileges. The case forms no parallel. D. " Increased cost of officers and supervision to protect the Revenue." Application has been made to land free goods only, and the company have offered to pay for the supervision that Her Majesty's Customs may deem necessary, the expense of which, with accommodation for the officers, must be trifling. It is inconsistent with either equity or justice to withhold Customs privileges from the company. It was competent to her Majesty's Customs, or any others concerned to have opposed thiscompany's Acts, and they cannot be jus tified in opposing them now aftef £160,000 has been ex pended on the works. Their decision, as it now stands, is entirely subversive of the principles of free trade, an d virtually renders the decision of the Im perial Legislature" subject to that of the Customs authorities. There is no guarantee that the privileges would be granted even if the docks themselves were com pleted. If this opposition is continued, it will be seen that the company must inevitably collapse and the unfortunate shareholders be involved in widespread ruin, entirely through the arbitrarydecision of a section of her Majesty's Government, whose duty ought to be, instead of placing obstructions in the way of commerce, to foster it in every Possible manner. By the 24th sec. 10 Vict., cap. 27, " No quay of the har bour, dock, or pier shall be deemed legal for shipping or anshipping goods, uutil the same has been approved by her Majesty's Treasury and her Majesty's Customs respec tively." It cannot be supposed, however, that power is given thereby to withhold that approval unless more valid reasons for the same can be substantiated. 25th Sec. Undertakers cannot take any rates until the harbour, dock, or pier is complete and fit for the recen. tion of vessels, &c. The Dagenham pier is in every respect applicable for the purpose for which it is intended, and is moreover sanctioned by the Act of 1866. Early in the present month a deputation from the company had the honour of an interview with the Right Honourable the President of the Board of Trade, who gave marked attention to the statement of their grievances, and there is reason to suppose that he alluded to the affairs of this company when in his speech at the Fish mongers' Hall he stated that the advice of the Board of Trade was received but not acted upon by other depart. ments of the Government. The London Review hears that a reduction in the price of the Times is contemplated by the proprietors. The Convention between her Majesty and the Shah of Persia for extending telegraphic communication between this country and India has just been pub lished• It pox - ides that tho telegraph lines tliall run through Persia; that the Government of that country shall "employ their good offices"' in facilitating its construction and maintenance, and shall receive in consideration thereof from the British Government the sum of three t:•:ousand tomans (nearly £1,400).

THE EASTER VOLUNTEER REVIEW.— With regard. to the Volunteer Review, Major-General James Lindsay has issued the following notice from the War Office : " The Secretary of State for War has approved of a review of volunteers taking place at Dover on Easter Monday, the 20th of March, 1860. Applica tions from corps desirous of attending this review must be made on the prescribed form through the lords-lieutenant of their respective counties, and delivered at the War Office on or before Monday, the Bth March, after which date no further applications will be received. It is, however, particularly requested that commanding officers will make their applications as early as possible before the above date, as their doing so so will neatly facilitate railway and other arrangements."
