The " Staleybridge Infant" has, as it is well known, pit forth his claim, and is ambitious to dis play his prowess.

PhICE 4D. STAMPED, SU. financial question involved in that vote is of com paratively small importance. Whether the paper duty shall be repealed this year or next is a question not of principle but of expediency. All are agreed that it is a bad tax, which ought to be abolished at the earliest moment; but many differ as to whether that moment is now or twelve months hence. This question is of limited and temporary interest, and however ardently we may desire to have the daty removed at once, it would be quite impossible to raise the country, or create any great excitement on the point. The case is very different, however, with regard to the constitutional question raised by the vote of Monday night. That is of the very utmost gravity and importance. The right of the representatives of the people to determine abso lutely the taxation of the country is the very bul wark of our nati ona l f ree d om . A ny attempte d invasion of this sacred right is not a question of limited or temporary moment. It touches the essence of the constitution, and may affect not only the present generation but the whole future for tunes of England. As soon as this is clearly seen, as soon as the constitutional question is disen tangled from the financial one, the gravity of the proceedings in the House of Lords on Monday evening becomes at once apparent. At first, as we have said, there was some slight confusion, but the country is already awake to the true bearings of the case, and as these are more clearly perceived, the popular voice will be raised in unanimous pro test against the establishment of any dangerous or unconstitutional precedent.

Miss Fray said she had taken counsel's opinion, which was that the magistrate had the power to grant her a summons to obtain protection against the murderous threats of the matron, which had been repeated since she left the prison a fortnight ago. Alderman Salomons declined to grant the sum mons, at the same . time promising a full investiga tion by the gaol committce. Miss Fray then retired, expressing a hope that she would receive the protection she sought. / POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—May 25. GUILDHALL.—Miss Fray, a young lady who has figured repeatedly before the public in actions against Lord and Lady Zetland, in whose employ she formerly was, as well as against her counsel and attorneys for negligence in the conduct of her affairs in the different actions in which she has been engaged, applied on Wednesday to Alderman Salo mons for a summons against the matron of White cross -street Prison for cruel treatment and threats against her life while a prisoner for debt under her control. Alderman Salomons inquired the nature of the cruelty and threats complained of. Miss Fray said she was incarcerated in White cross-street Prison on the 2d of December last, and on the following day she was taken very ill, and in that state locked up for a whole day and a night with not even a glass of cold water, although she was at the time suffering from inflammation of the lungs. Indeed, such was the neglect she experi enced that she was kept for weeks together with out butter, tea, sugar, and, in fact, proper food ; and she was even denied the use of warm water, which the state of her health required. With a cancer in her mouth, which she was compelled to lance herself, the only food she could take was withheld, and having no money she was unable to procure what she required beyond the county allow ance. Alderman Salomons asked her why she had not applied to Colonel Hicks, the governor. Miss Fray said she had repeatedly done so, and Colonel Hicks assured her that it was his wish that she should be properly treated, but nothing was done, and she was eventually compelled to apply to friends outside for assistance to obtain the means of existence. This state of things continued until the 25th of February last, when the matron shook her fist in,her face, and made use of the most mur derous threats towards her, saying that she (Miss Fray) had lost her character, and that she would tear her to pieces, limb from limb, tear her eyes out of the sockets, and intimated she would soon he in a much worse place than that—meaning Newgate. For nine days she was very ill, during which time she had nothing but the county allow ance, and when she refused the doctor's medicine, the matron did all in her power to prevent her having the medicine she purchased with money furnished by her friends. Alderman - Salomons asked her if any inquiry had taken place. Miss Fray said that a slanderous letter was written by a friend of the matron, and the Lord Mayor and Alderman Hale attended and investi gated the charges made in that letter against her Fray), which proved to have no foundation, since which the matron had altered her conduct towards her. Alderman Salomons wished to know if she had complained to the prison inspectors. Miss Fray said she had written to the Secretary of State, and Mr. Perry, one of the inspectors, had visited the prison, but no steps had been taken in the matter. She had also seen the Lord Mayor, who requested her to send him the details of her complaints in writing, and she had done so ; but fearing that the time limited by law for making her complaint would expire, and so deprive her of the ordinary remedy in the event of no other in quiry taking place, she applied for a summons to have the matter investigated here. Alderman Salomons said he did not like to grant a summons in such a case without making inquiry, and he would therefore decide on Friday what course he would adopt. After the above application was made the de puty-governor of Whitecross-street Prison attended at the court, and was closeted with the chief clerk for nearly an hour, and on the opening of the court he had a private interview with the alderman and the chief clerk, and at the expiration of a quarter of an hour the parties came into court, when Alderman Salomons, addressing Miss Fray, said that, Col. Hicks being out of town, Mr. Watts, the deputy-governor, was present to hear her complaint against the matron and to answer it. Miss Fray, having reiterated her cause of com plaint against the matron, said she also had to make complaint against the governor and doctor of the prison, but at present she only asked for a summons against the matron. When she wrote to the Secretary of State, Mr. Sheriff Phillips and Mr. Perry, the prison inspector, came, and the latter told her that it was a case for the magistrates. Alderman Salomons could not understand why the matrons should have any antipathy towards any prisoner under her care. Miss Fray said it arose from the fact of her catching her in the act of opening a letter which she (Miss Fray) wrote to the governor, asking him to procure her a habeas, in order that she might attend before a judge at chambers in an action for which she received notice on the 18th of February. She got no answer to that letter, and she therefore wrote a second time, representing that unless she ' obtained the habeas she would lose her case ; but she received no answer until it was too late, and judgment was given against her by default. This was on a Saturday, and on the Sunday she saw Col. Hicks, and he told her she could lid have a habeas, not having applied for it in the manner prescribed for prisoners in the county side. She said she did not intend to apply for anything at the prison expense after she had been starved for so many weeks, and having money sufficient of her own she was prepared to pay for a habeas ; but not obtaining it, she lost her action. Mr. Watts said he was not present when Mr. Perry and the visiting magistrates saw Miss Fray, and knew nothing therefore of what took place at either interview. Mr. Perry did not mention any complaint, nor did he report any ; but the governor had seen Miss Fray on several occasions in the pre sence of the matron. Miss Fray said she reported everything she com plained of to Col. Hicks, but not obtaining pro tection from him, she was obliged to have recourse to other means. Alderman Salomons said he presumed that the governor made it a rule to see all the prisoners daily. Mr. Watts said that was not the case, but any person could see the governor upon applying either personally or in writing. He was, however, fre quently among them. Miss Fray said it was not so. Mr. Watts said if any application were made to him personally at the office, he should not require any written notice. Miss F. ay said she believed . Mr. Watts, as he was the only gentleman from whom she had re ceived any humane treatment. Alderman Salomous said if he granted the sum mons against the matron he could not see how it could serve the applicant. Miss Fray said she locked her up, while other prisoners were allowed greater liberty ; and she had been informed that the law of the land did not allow any one to remain a single night under threats against the life without a remedy. Mr. Watts raid that all the prisoners were locked up at nif,ht. Miss Fray said she could not state the whole of her complaint, unless the case was thoroughly in vestigated, as it would occupy too much time. She would, however, mention that the part of the prison she was confined in was infested with body vermin, introduced by a favourite of the matron ; and al though the bedding, clothing, and even the food were tainted with the presence of such vermin, the matron would not permit any report to be made, in order that it might be cleansed. Mr. Watts said the prison had been thoroughly cleansed. WORSHIP-STREET. John Spencer, a tall, grey-headed man, 60 years of age, described as a schoolmaster, was brought before Mr. D'Eyncourt, by Inspector Webster, of the N Division, on a warrant granted by J. S: Mansfield, Eel., wherein he was charged with the commission - o: lin abominable and unnatural offence upon one and more of his pupils. Leon Moresco, a respectably attired and rather ht.ndsome lad, who gave his evidence with much intelligence, and void of embarrassment, was sworn and said—l shall be 13 years old next birthday, which is in June. My father is dead, and my mother resides at Brussels. I was sent to England two years ago, and arrived on January 10, and was placed at a school kept by a person named Philpot, in Goldsmith's-place, Hackney-road, about a twelve month since. Mr. Spenser succeeded Mr. Philpot. I was a day scholar at that time. About seven weeks since I went to Brussels and returned three or four weeks ago. There were about thirty scholars, but there had been more. A lady who lodged in the house told me that Mr. Spencer was a Catholic priest. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the prisoner)—Are you a Catholic priest P Prisoner—No, sir, Sergeant Maveety, N Division—lt has been ascertained that his right name is John Benedict Spencer, that he is a Roman Catholic priest, and has preached at Liverpool. Prisoner—lt is totally false. I have never been out of the house, Examination continued—Mr. Philpot left the school at Midsummer last, and when this gentle man came he used me vulgarly. On my return from Brussels I went to live there. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did anything occur before you went to live there ? " Witness- - fe;:about four or five months since, Mr. D'Eyneourt—Be particular. What did he do ? [Witness here described acts that, if true, showed the prisoner to have been guilty of the frightful offence with which he was charged. He also stated, in answer to the magistrate, that the offence had been repeated. several times.] Mr. D'Eyncourt—How did all this becom e known ? Witness—There are three lodgers in the house. I told one of them named Ashford, who advised me to go to a magistrate, and I came here. Mr. D'Eyncourt—How did you learn the way to this court ? Witness—l knew a lady in Providence-row, close by, and observed this was a police court ; besides, I read the newspapers, Another lodger, named Hurst, advised me to come and complain privately. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Who saw this boy when he first came ? Bendon (the gaoler)—l did, sir, and Mr. Mans field had an interview with him. The witness was then cross-examined by Mr. Heritage—How came you, intelligent as you cer tainly are, to let this go on and not complain ? Witness—One of the boys named Hoskins knew it after the first time. I was ashamed to tell about it afterwards. Sometimes I took down my trousers, at other times he did. I knew what was going to happen, yet did not call out for assistance. He has made complaints of my having stolen his money; that, perhaps, was seven or eight months ago. Mr. D'Eyncourt—And had you stolen it ? Witness—Yes, sometimes fourpence, and at others sixpence at a time, for a week or two. Ido not think that I took more than 3s. altogether. Cross-examination continued—l never took Gs. from his purse at one time. He said that he would forgive me if I paid him back, and I did so at a halfpenny a time until half was paid. He forgave me the other part. He also charged me with steal ing 4s. 6d. I had not taken that. He also charged me with stealing his sugar ; that was true. He has told me that he would adopt me, cure me of my faults, take care of me, and get me a situation. He bore the name of a very kind-hearted man in the neighbourhood. I was always afraid and ashamed to tell what had occurred. He once threatened to send me to Brussels on account of my dishonesty, but he did not mean it, because he laughed, and was kind directly afterwards. This was after my return from Brussels, and I did not wish to return because I should be a weight upon my mother there. When my father was alive a person named Inderman was in partnership with him, and was an exporter of foreign goods. He paid for my schooling some time. After that Mr. Spencer said he would adopt me. The last time he did as I have stated was on the Sunday previous to my coming here, and complaining on the following Wednesday. I believe that he has served other boys the same. He once told me to take my things, and leave the house. Then he called me back, and on seeing me with the letters in which he promised to adopt me, he said " Stop," and went into another room. I did remain until I came to this office. On that day he would not give me any breakfast or dinner, and I did not come here until afterwards. By the Magistrate—l know a lad named Ro berts. He lived next door to the school. The lady up stairs at the school:warned Mr. Spencer I was coming here. I told Roberts what had occurred, and the pains that I suffered. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Who adopts this prosecution ? Inspector Webster—Mr. Roberts, sir, the father of the other boy who is alleged to have been simi larly assaulted. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to Mr. Roberts)—Has this lad said anything to you of this matter ? Mr. Roberts—Not a word, sir; I thought that I would leave it entirely open. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Quite right; he has been living in your house, I believe. Mr. Roberts—He has since the occurrence became known. Mr. D'Eyneourt—lle will now be sent to the Union during the remand, for I cannot go into the other case to-day. Let me hear how the prisoner was taken. Williams, 102 N—At 11 o'clock this morning I apprehended the prisoner in High-street, Camden town. I met him, and said, " I believe that you are Mr. Spencer," he replied, " No, lam not." I said, "Yes, you are, and I am a police.constable ; you must go with me to the station-house." I told him the nature of the charge, and he asked me to go round the corner of a street and speak with him. I refused. We walked some distance together, and then he said, "I will give you a sovereign if you will let me make my escape." I refused, and he offered me two sovereigns. I said, " Not if you gave me fifty." Me then went on till we arrived at the St. Pancras-road, when he suddenly asked to see the warrant for his apprehension. I did not hold the warrant, and told him so. He refused to go further. A struggle ensued, and he bit my thumb. With the assistance of a gentleman, I took him to Robert-street station-house. Inspector Webster—He has given us a great deal of trouble sir, having absconded when the lad came to this court. Mr. Heritage applied for permission to put in bail ; and Mr. D'Eyncourt gave permission to put in two sureties of £5OO each, at the same time observing that it was an amount, under the circumstances, tantamount to refusing the application. The prisoner, w ho bowed to the Court, and com ported himself very respectfully, was removed in the van. Why is a fool in high station like a man in a balloon?—Because everybody appears little to him, and he appears little to everybody. NEw MARRIAGE ACT.—An Act of Parliament has just been printed to amend the acts relating to marriages in England and Ireland by extending certain provisions thereof to persons professing with the Society of Friends called Quakers. It is now enacted that the marriages of Quakers may be solemnised in cases where one only or where neither of the parties shall be a member of the Society o! Friends. The enactments now in force are to extend to every marriage contracted under this act. TILE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSITIP.-A writer in the Irish.

CHAMPIONSHIP.—SAYERS AND HEENIN.—The new belts that are to be presented to the erewhile combatants will, we are informed, be ready by Wednesday next, an order for them to be finished by that time having been given to the manufacturer. The presentation of them to each of the champions will take place at Cremorne with due cere mony. After they have been buckled round the loins of the men, they will with the glove, and in mimic fight, dis play those masterly points which in actual contest charac terised their memorable passage of arms. The satisfactory, and we will add judicious, arrangement of the stakeholder, has been such that nothing should give rise to unpleasant or irritating feeling between the men. Both had done enough to test their courage and skill in their struggle for the belt. Now that the affair is settled, and the heat of contending partisanship has cooled, we may pay a just tribute to the stakeholder and referee with the more satisfaction, because nothing that we may now express can in any way whatever give offence to either one side or the other, nor at the same time in any way affect the ease. We know something of the thankless and unprofitable office of referee, and know too well how ready men are to find fault and cavil at a de cision, n 9 matter whether right or wrong, as their interests or prejudices may sway them. The prevalent impression among those who saw the fight, and were most conversant with the past doings of the ring, was that ray who had done so much ought not to be permitted to meet again. As may be anticipated, the display that will take place on Wednesday will be but the prelude to a series of joint bene fits, for there, can be no doubt that Sayers and Heenan, after appearing in the metropolis, will go on a provincial tour, when there can be no doubt they will meet with a warm reoeption. The original belt, of which those which will be pre sented on Wednesday uext are f e , eg i ut il ea, has xlow t 9 bo nu: PAPER D UTI I , S. (From the Times.) The House of 'Commons has only done wha, everybody expected, and every reasonable being would have advised, in taking no more decisive step on the late decision of the Lords than the appoint ment of a Cotainittee to inquire into precedEnts re lating to money bills. Of the other courses sug gested last night it is enough to say that they would have been thought very ridiculous or outrageous. According to Mr. Edwin James, inasmuch as the house had once immediately censured a decision of the Lords upon a bill that was not a money bill, or at all like one, therefore it ought with equal promp titude to take in hand the decision of the Lords upon a bill which, in Mr. E. James's opinion, is a money bill, and nothing else. Mr. Duncombe pro posed that the house should take the Lords at their word, and contrite that Parliament should be found sitting in the middle of November, when, of course, the Lords would be bound to read the bill a second time. Mr. Bright, not being provided with any expedient brilliant enough to compare with this, and not seeing his way out of the difficulty, proposed the moderate course of adjourning the debate to next Thursday, by which time some thirty gentlemen will have occupied the Whitsun holidays in the preparation of long speeches. Lord John Russell, with something like a foregone conclusion of the result, and with some Parlia mentary definitions and divisions which read like an address to a grand jury, found suffi cient matter for criticism in these propositions, and gave his opinion for further inquiry. When, however, he distinguished between Money Bills that had a political character and those that were merely for Supply, and assigned the Bill just re jected to the latter class, we can only say that he has unwittingly contributed a new argument for inquiry and deliberation. As nothing can be done till Thursday, no time will be lost by the proposed addition of two " independent" members to the Committee on that day, and twenty-one gentlemen enjoying the suffrages of all parties, and represent ing their opinions, will then be able to supply the House with a common stock of information bearing upon this matter. Notwithstanding the stigma of a roving commission which Mr. Digby Seymour has attempted to throw on the Committee, no other course was open than to leave it the largest reason able field of inquiry. To limit that inquiry in such a way as not to anticipate the result would have cost the house needless time and trouble. As it is, we are to have a complete view of the Parliamen tary theory of Money Bills, in the most compre hensive sense of the term. An appeal to the common sense of the country, as the true arbiter of the question, is no mere topic of persuasion, and can hardly be called our own. Mr. Bright himself wonders how it is that the people of England most unaccountably do not care a straw for the bill and its treatment by the Lords. England has not been moved from its depths and stirred from one end to the other. There has been a mysterious meeting of delegates some where within the range of Mr. Duncorobe's peculiar observation, but otherwise there has been no more stir or expression of opinion than if a railway bill had been lost for want of compliance with standing orders. Mr. Bright is at a loss to explain a fact which we will venture to say he is the only man in England who has not taken as a matter of course. He really does us much more honour than we deserve, and immensely overrates our influence, when he informs the house that it is our sophistry that has mesmerised the nation into this gross insensibility to its wrongs. Old-fashioned as we are, obsolete as are our views,selfish and base as our motives must be, mistaken in every way, we have, nevertheless, had the power, he says, to lull the entire ocean of British political passion into the sweetest tranquillity. Vain the gathering of the multitude in St. Mhrtin's-hall and provincial Town halls t Vain the appeal to the metropolitan Briton, " Will you permit Lord Derby to tax you 9" A single leader of the Times, says Mr. Bright, had hushed the rising storm, and sung a lullaby over the smothered indignation of thirty millions. This is a power we frankly say we never pretended to; we do not claim it; we do not now detect its ope ration ; what is more, we do not even desire it. It would indeed be an ill day for England when it lay at the mercy of one pen, or any hundred pens when it either could be roused to fury by a leaded column, or depended on that precarious interposi tion for its safety from downright madness. No, Mr. Bright, we will be modest; we blush to be so bepraised ; but we really have no right to let this pass as our work. It is England that sees how the truth lies, and that w ill no t r i se i n t o revo lution because the Lords have exercised a sound discretion, and thrown out an ill timed bill. The Lords knew well that the country was with them. The truth is that this is not a mere Money Bill, but a political question. Otherwise, how came it to pass that Mr. Bright, alone in the whole country, should be anxious to thrust a million and a quarter into the Chancellor of the Exchequer's pocket ? That is not his wont, nor indeed is it ours. But the gradual substitution of income tax for indirect taxes, and the reimposition of a war tax when no reason could be assigned for it, except to gratify some sentimental expectations for the year 1860— all this is a political question. Mr. Bright is aware it has been suggested lately more than once to raise the income-tax to a height that shall entirely supersede indirect taxation ; to place the represen tation in the hands of those who do not pay the income-tax ; and, finally, to declare the House of Lords an anomaly in the constitution. Such pro posals have much more right to be considered a whole than Mr. Gladstone's Budget, which, by the very term, is a multitude of measures. But were the substitution of Income-tax for Paper Duty the only measure under consideration, we shall be backed by all England in calling it a poli tical change. It is a shifting of burdens that would certainly tell largely on the powers and destinies of the State and the character of the people. It is not a question of a million or not, but whether taxation shall be levied from this class or that class, in this form or that form. The whole argument for the repeal of the Paper Duty disdained the very character now asserted for it, as a mere matter of money. It raises the ques tion above money. But it is also a political ques tion whether just now we are to leave the Exche quer empty, and allow millions of Exchequer-bonds to come in one after the other, without any provi sion for their liquidation, except the spendthrift trick of issuing new bonds in their place. The whole affair is political rather than financial, and if financial, only so for political considerations. There is here no constitutional jealousy in question. The Lords are not wanting to increase the power of the Crown, and render it independent of the Lower House. The Commons may do what they please with the money which the Lords have obligingly compelled them to keep in their hands. But this i s a political affair, and if the House of Lords ever was permitted to reject a bill complicated with political considerations, it never had a better case for it than now. (From the Morning Post.) Last night, after considerable discussion, the House of Commons appointed a select committee " to search the journals of both Houses of Parlia ment in order to ascertain and report on the practice of each house with regard to the several descriptions of money bills imposing or repealing taxation." It is difficult to conceive upon what grounds a motion so reasonable and necessary in itself should have encountered the slightest oppo sition. If there exist a doubt as to the right of the House of Lords to reject a money bill, reason would surely seem to dictate, as a necessary pre liminary, the institution of an inquiry, the object of which would be to illustrate the customary law of Parliament by the decisions of former days. Butthis is not the opinion of Mr. Edwin times, Mr. Thomas Duncombe, and Mr. Bright. These gentlemen de sire to provoke a conflict between the two Houses in relation to a subject which excites no public interest at a time when, from want of information, no per son can venture to assert with confidence that the House of Lords has exceeded its privileges. Mr. Duncombe, who, like all extreme Liberals, is a great stickler for the political supremacy of the House of Commons, proposed an amendment, Which, if ac cepted, would altogether have ignored one of the imost important and well-defined prerogatives of the Crown. The hon. gentleman says the Lords luiTe only postponed the second reading of the Paper Duties Bill for six months—therefore Parliament ought not to be adjourned beyond November next, " when a further opportunity would be afforded to the House of Lords for consickring whether the said bill might not then be advantageously agreed to." In other words, the House of Commons is to dictate to the Sovereign the time at which Parliament is to meet, and also to tell the House of Lords that, after six months' stipendiary agitation, Mr. Dancombe hopes that the public mind will become sufficiently angry and excited to act upon and co:Tee the Upper House. No indications of such a characterare yet ap parent out of doors, and in the House of Cornea-ms the general tone last night was firm and respectful to the Peers, and at the same time consistent with the dignity and independence of the represen tatives of the people. Mr. Bright adopted a line of opposition similar in character, hut not so dilatory and unconstitutional in its effects. He i r )posed to adjourn the discussion to next Thursday, when the house will reassemble after the Whitsuntide recess. But Mr. Bright must surely forget that such a course would delay, if not defeat, the object which he professes to have in view. He holds the opinion that the House of Lords has overstepped its privi lege, and be wishes the Commons to come to this conclusion. The question whether it be regarded as one of customary law or of principle cannot be decided without investigation and inquiry. If it should turn out that Mr. Bright's contention is right, then the recourse to precedents will sustain and fortify his argument —one which at present rests upon no foundation beyond rash assertion— and the House of Commons would have compara tively little difficulty in establishing its exclusive privilege to originate, amend, and pass money bills. We, however, are inclined to suspect that if such a resolution were come to the veto of the Sovereign, which in modern times has been rarely exercised, would form the next point of attack. The mode ration and good sense of the house were too mani festly displayed in favour of inquiry to give either Mr. Thomas Duncombe or Mr. Bright the slightest chance of success, and therefore those gentlemen wisely permitted Lord Palmerston's motion to be carried, merely with the addition of two members taken from below the gangway, making the num ber of the committee twenty-one instead of nine teen. Of course it is premature to speculate upon the results of the inquiry, but we may be permitted to express the opinion that it will leave the question exactly where it stands at present. Hatsell, in deal ing with the exclusive right of the Commons to grant aids and taxes to the Cl own, says—" In whatever mode the Lords have at any time at tempted to invade this right, the Commons have uniformly and rigorously opposed the attempt ; and have asserted and maintained this claim through such a long and various course of prece dents, particularly from the time of the Restora tion to the beginning of this century, that the lords have desisted either from beginning any bill, or making amendments to bills passed by the Commons, which, either, in the form of positive taxes or pecuniary penalties, or in any other shape, might, by construction, be considered as imposing burdens upon the people." If the Lords, ex eon cessis, cannot originate or amend money bills—and as we all know as a matter of fact that no measure of any kind can become law without the consent of the three branches of the Legislature —the con clusion is irresistible that as the Lords have the power of assent they must also possess the con verse or correlative right of rejection.. What discretionary jurisdiction is the Upper House to have in relation to this species of legislation if it is simply to register the financial edicts of the Commons ? We believe that, when all the precedents which are to be found in thej ournals have been ransacked, no case can be produced which will support the views of Mr. Bright and his two coadjutors, Mr. Thomas Duncombe and Mr. Edwin James. The inquiry is judicial in its nature, one necessarily dependent upon precedent and authority, and must therefore be pursued, as Lord J. Russell last night remarked, "in the beaten paths of the constitution." Happily no party in terest is involved in the question, and happily the public have no desire to witness a wholly unneces sary conflict between the two branches of the Legislature. The sooner the dispute is allowed to subside the better opportunity will the opponents of the paper duties have of obtaining the object which they so loudly and so zealously profess to have at heart. (From the liforning Herald.) Last night's brief discussion on the practice of Parliament in regard to bills for imposing or repeal ing taxation was not of a nature to inspire Mr. Bright with any new hope of collision and disturb bance. It was scarcely to be expected, after all the nonsense that has been talked about the violation of the rights of the Lower House, that a Liberal Premier should not take some step to save his cre dit ; and we do full justice to Lo,ed Palmerston's sagacity in adopting a course which commits him to no result and which is admirably calculated to satisfy the amour propre of the Commons, at the same time that it avoids any attack upon the dig nity of the Peers. It may suit the metropolitan members to raise a great cry about the alleged in sult to popular sovereignty ; but as in this instance popular clamour seems to be principally confined to a portion of the press pecularly interested in obtaining cheap paper, the backers of our modern Hampdens are likely to be very few in number, and we antici pate no dangerous results from the serious auguries with which they seek to awe the country. Moreover, Mr. Bright and his friends have once more found themselves thoroughly unpractical. Mr. Duncombe moved an amendment which was prima facie too absurd to be seriously considered, but which certainly far surpassed the resolution of the Lords in confidence and audacity, and deservedly called down the remonstrance of that lover of the consti tution, Lord John Russell. Mr. Blight was still more impracticable in moving the adjournment of the debate, although all that Lord Palmerston asked for was a committee of inquiry, as if the five days that elapse between yesterday and next Thursday would bring down the haughty Peers on their knees at the feet of the Lower House, or as if Lord Palmerston himself would by that time have been inspired by the encouragement of the cheap press to throw down the gauntlet before the Lords, and completely play the demagogue's game by kindl;ng a dangerous agitation. What, in fact, could Mr. Bright propose ? We have had hints of his inten tions from the columns of his great ally in the press, and we should probably, under his auspices, have found ourselves committed to a hopeless breach between the Lords and Commons, which could only have resulted in perilling the authority of both. As it is, the choice of the committee saving the presence of Mr. Bright, induces a reasonable belief in its impartiality, and we have too much respect for the judgment of the House of Commons not to infer that it will find means to set the question at rest without the slightest regard to the interested protests of the member for Birmingham. Strictly speaking, all doubt about the privileges of the House of Lords was removed by Lord Lyndhurst's speech—that great authority who was extolled with all the eulogistic powers of Mr. Bright's organ on the one day, and denounced with all the depth of its abuse the next. But something it was ne cessary to do in order to bind up the wounds of the Birmingham demagogue, and to soothe the fiery indignation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The committee, on the whole very fairly chosen, is not likely to perpetuate the feeling of jealousy that now exists. Mr. Bright knows this, and is furious. But in proportion to his disappointment will be the satisfaction of every prudent politician and every lover of peace and order. (From the Daily News.) The short debate in the House of Commons last night on Lord Palmerston's motion for a committee to inquire into precedents as to the control of money bills would tend to reassure those who had begun to fear that both the house and the Government were disposed to treat a great constitutional ques• tion in a careless and perfunctory m►►uner. That this feeling existed and was daily becoming more deep and general, is unquestionable. The petitions Mr•. Bright presented last night from several places in Lancashire illustrate the rising wave of popular dissatisfaction and alarm at the apparent apathy of the Commons. The prayer of these petitions is, "that the house will preserve its privilege and pre rogative of determining the taxation of the coun try." No such petitions as these have been pre sented to Parliament in our time., or in that of our forefathers for many generations. Indeed there has rarely been any necessity to quicken the zeal of the house on such a point. It has usually shown itself keenly alive to its privileges, and prompt and ener getic in defending them. Any appearance of luke warmness, therefore, on such a vital question of privilege as the right of taxation would naturally tend to rouse the watchful jealousy of the country. There is no doubt that this feeling would have been spread far more generally had not the two questions raised by the vote of the Lords on Mon day night, been espacially at first very much mixed up and cofounded iu the public mind.
