PORTRAITS WELLINGTON AND SOU-LT, WITH MEMOIRS AND FAC-81111LES OF THEIR HAND- NvRITINds. A PORTRAIT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TOGETHER WITH THE MOST SPLENDID LIKENESS OF SOULT EVER TAKEN, BY WYON, Ft►R WHAM THE MARSHAL SAT SIX TIMES IS THIS DAY PUBLISHED, AT THE SUN OFFICE, 112, STRAND, PRICE SIXPENCE. Sun Office, Nov. 4, 1852. it that no ordinary emotions were excited by the arcly but cordial meeting between such a conatitu- he bad indeed, if not superior to " the precious bud get," or the " brick-dust budget," or, indeed, any which Sir CHABLE3 WOOD ever brought forward. We may look for earnest debates on, and a new settle ment of, the Property and Income-tax, on a sounder basis than at present. This is indispensable, and on the course adopted the fate of the government will in a great degree depend. The Budget will probably be carried. Our only hope is that it may be worth carrying. Certain Government measures will ad vance, in the interim, through some of their respective stages, and a tithe, perhaps, of the bills of which notice had been given by independent Members, may also "drag their slow length along." By and bye will come the Estimates, and the Money Votes, the latter, as usual, subjected to strict, but ency and such a representative. Naturally enough, ou first addressing the electors of Edinburgh, after so bag a s eparatio n, Mr MA CAULAY reverted,;in a rather solemn and pensive strain, to the changes which bad occurred since he last ap peared before them in the character of their repre sentative alluding in a more especial mannar to the more remarkable losses by death which within that interval the nation at large has experi enced. After lamenting the sorrows of a somewhat more private, because more local, character, incurred by himself and his constituents by reason of the suc cessive demise of GinsoN CRAIG and FRANCIS JEF FREY, the orator pointed with a turn of impressive pathos to the more conspicuously vacant places left by the passage of time in the ranks of the former Parlia ment. In the House of Commons, said he, "I shall look in vain for virtues which I loved, and abilities I admired." Amongst others, he exclaimed, " I shall remember with regret how much eloquence and wit, bow much acuteness and knowledge, how many en gaging qualities, how many fair hopes, are buried in the grave of poor CHARLES BULLER." Scarcely less earnest were his commemorative panegyrics upon the services performed to their country by two other il lustrious personages, whom he had left at the height of power, but who have, nevertheless, both of them disappeared the one of civil, the other of military, celebrity—the one the oracle of the House of Commons, the other the oracle of the House of Lords—the DUKE of WELLINGTON, whose victories had guarded the country from the chances of invasion—and Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose services had saved it from the, if possible, yet more fearful perils of revolution. Within the past five years, moreover, Mr. MACAULAY reminded his hearers, that death bad not been the only innovator. " Never," said he, " since the origin of the race have there been five years more fertile of great events—five years which have left behind them a more awful lesson." In re calling to memory the long agony of those trouble ous years of disaster, the orator showed how nation had waged war against nation, and class against class, and how even he—the sanguine believer in the in destructability of civilization—stood aghast in the presence of so many calamities. He acknow ledged, of course, that he still bore in recollection the assertion of ADAM SMITH and of EDWARD GIBBON, that the world could never again, as in the ancient times, be ravaged by the terrors of a barbaric inundation. He remembered that they argued, and argued too with sufficient reason, whence were to come the Huns and the Vandals that should again destroy civilization ? But he saw that while the civilized portions of the earth preponderated over the savage, that there would still grow - up under the shadow of our palaces, in the hearts of our capitals, in the midst of our political pomps and our social luxuries, " a race of Iluns fiercer than those who marched under ATILLA, and Vandals more bent on destruction than those who followed GENSERIC,"--has he not already described them in one of the last pages of the second volume of his magnificent history—" Heathens in the midst of Christianity, and savages in the midst of civilization!" Grandly did Mr. Macaunsx liken the tranquillity of England during these convulsions of the rest of Christendom to the land of Goshen with all unsuccessful scrutiny from Mr. JIuME, and a few congenial associates, and (as usual also) passed in thin houses, and at late hours. Once the the money is voted, the actual business of the Session is ended, and visions of the white-bait dinner at Greenwich dawn on the Ministerial mind, together with the more agreeable prospect of the absence of the Parliamentary " baiting" to which they have been For many mouths diurnally subjected. The actual time given to real practical work during this period, will be small—the balance of it will Le expended in discussions on "things in general," and a few crochets in particular. COBDEN and BRIGHT will dilate on the unparalleled advantages of Free Trade. The Irish Brigade will, of course, get up some ultra montane debates. The veteran Member for Montrose will endeavour to collect the dis jecta ?umbra, the scattered elements of Liberalism, into something practical and tangible. The Church party will have their palaver, and HENRY of EXETER, will once more obtain the notoriety so dear to his heart—being abused and praised, as if he were at once the worst and best of sinners and of saints. The Caffre war will be fought over again ; the East India Charter will call forth the eloquence of the nabobs, rejoicing heartily at the absence of GEORGE Tnomr- SON. Mr. ROEBUCK will, as a matter of course, fling about some of the agreeable acidities with which he is wont to correct the crudities of debate. The war with Burmah will be on the lapis. National Educa the plagues raging around it " everywhere else thunder, fire running along the ground, a very grievous storm—such as there was none like it since man was on the earth !" Truthfully did he attribute the happy condition of these islands, during that most perilous emergency, under the blessing of ALmmaTr GoD, ito our majestic and venerable Constitution. Nobly and patriotically did he ex claim thereupon,—" Let U 3 prize our Constitution ; let us purify it ; let us amend it ; but let us not destroy it." To this recommendation, the advice of THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1'852, ride six or seven miles, and to ramble over beautiful grounds, amid flowers, and shrubs, and trees, tind water- works and statuary. Now, we fully concede to these parties the right to think as they do, and to carry out their own thoughts themselves. We will pass over the pleasant walks some of them enjoy on the Sunday, in their own lawns and gardens, or in the suburban parks around which they dwell. Their right to gaze each Sunday on the pictures or sta tues with which they can afford to decorate their own mansions or houses ; their right to converse on all imaginable topics as well as religion, on the Sunday; and the other innumerable ways in which these parties show the impossibility of carrying out them selves what they would exact as law for the million— we pass by all this, and maintain that they have to OPENING OF TH E EW PARLIAM ENT. right to make their religious views of the Sabbath binding by penaßy on those who do not hold them. They are as free in this country as they can wish to The opening of the new Parliament, wh:ch has been 'coked forward to with so much interest during the last six weeks, took place to-day. The weather was exceedingly fine, and Palace-yard was conse quently very much crowded. Westminster Hall, too, which is now the temporary entrance to both the house of Lords and the House of Commons, was completely filled with strangers, and altogether the neighbourhood of the new Houses of Parliament pre sented a scene of unusual bustle and excitement. promulgate their views, and to convert their neigh bours by argument. We can respect them in so doing. They can circulate the "Pearl of Days," and Sabbatarian tracts by thousands and ten thousands, no man forbidding ; but to make men Sabbatarians by penalty, this is what we deny them the right to do. They cannot deny that they regard the withholding of the charter as a penalty, for they think it is so severe a one as to be almost sure of attaining their end, though here we think they will find themselves mis taken. It is a heavy penalty, indeed, to a commercial HOUSE OF LORDS. The new Parliament was opened in the house of Lords by Royal Commission. 'The Lords Commis sioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Nor thumberland the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Lonsdale, and the Duke of Montrose. The Lords Commissioners took their seats at the foot of the Throne shortly after two o'clock, when The LORD CHANCELLOR, advancing to the 'Wool sack, directed Sir A. Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the members of the House of Com mons to give their immediate attendance at the bar. The Usher of the Black Rod accordingly retired and in a few minutes afterwards he returned to the House, accompanied by Sir Denis Le Marchant, the Chief Clerk of the house of Commons, and a large body of the new Members. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Secretary Walpole, Sir John Pakington, and other members of the Cabinet being among the fore most. , The Chief Clerk of the House of Lords then read the Royal Commission for the opening of Parliament; after which The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the name of her MA JESTY and by virtue of the Commission which had just been read, directed the gentlemen of the House of Commons to retire to their own chamber and choose a Speaker. The Members of the House of Commons accordingly withdrew. Their lordshipe then adjourned, prayers having finished, the swearing in of the Peers was proceeded with. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Reporters' Gallery was thrown open at half past one o'clock. During the recess the interior of the House has undergone some slight alterations. The large chandeliers which last Session proved so offensive to the eye-sight, have been removed, and the shaded lights in . the ceiling of the House consider ably improved. In all other respects, the House remains in the same state as formerly, with the ex ception that some slight upholstery work has been added to the gallery, for the convenience and comfort of the reporters. On entering the House, we found a large cluster of members already assembled on the floor, chatting noisily together in knots, or warmly shaking hands and welcoming each other's return to the House, Shortly before two o'clock, Captai❑ Gossett, the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms, appeared upon the floor, bearing the Mace, which he laid at the foot of the table. At this pericd the House was beginning to get very full ; amongst the old faces present, we recognised those of the following gentlemen : Mr. Masterman, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Bernal Osborne, Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Christopher, Mr. Hindley, Mr. George Hudson, Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Carter, Mr. Baron Rothschild, Mr. Duncan, Mr. R. Palmer, Sir F. Kelly, Sir Jas.

Immediately before the assenablirg of Parliament, the people of England have enjoyed the privilege of listening to the opinions entertained at the present juncture, by one no less eminently qualified to pro nounce upon the events of the past, or upon the pro spects of the future than the Right Hon. THOMAS BAIHNGYON MACAULAY. The oration delivered by that eminent man, on Tuesday afternoon, before his constituents at Edinburgh, comprises within it a variety of characteristic peculiarities, commanding for it the fulness of the popular consideration. Every thing__ Conspired, indeed, to invest the remarks t hat .gulattfall at thi s momen t f rom th e lips of Mr. MA.

M ACAULA Y has permitted the pen of the annalist to be for a while abstracted from his grasp ; he has allowed the scroll to be swept from his table, an d replaced by the Blue Book ; he has consented tc tbatdon the allurements of erudition, and to take p art once more in the struggles of debate; he has allowed his patriotism to predominate over his predilections ; IL) has obeyed the summons of his country, and, in doing so, has magnanimously, for a time, closed his ears against the persuasive calls of liters. ture. It was under such circumstances. that Mr MAcaur.AY, on Tuesday afternoon, presented himself again before the Lberal electors of Edinburgh. It was only very recently, moreover, that he had par tially recovered from a prcitracted and severe attack of indisposition. Scarcely any wonder, therefore, is the illustrious orator resolves itself under every point of consideration. He recognizes the enforcement of the truth therein inculcated through all the shifts and turns of Protectionist tergiversation. He sees it before him everywhere, even at the hust ings and at the polling-booths—what though Lord MAIDSTONE forgets his verses, and Sir FITZROY KELLY forgets his votes. He beholds it, though the depth of his conviction is that " no person can dispute the salutary effect which the repeal of the Corn-laws has had on our trade and industry." He perceives it afar off in the gold-diggings of Australia and in the backwoods of America—hearing it proclaimed on all sides in that grand reality that "everywhere the desert is receding before the advance of the fbcd of human civilization." Everywhere, too, in proportion to that recession, he hears, and, hearing, repeats, as the safest recommendation that can be offered to Englishmen— to Reform, but, while reforming, to Conserve their wise and august Constitution. Whoever has watched the system of legislation adopted in this country cannot have failed to ascer tain how eminently unpractical it is. What have been called " the mechanics of law making " are greatly at variance with common sense. We have occasional nibblings in Parliament at errors in the laws; but we never think of amending the system, under which, when the laws are being made, these. errors arise. Perhaps we should rather speak of the absence of anything like a system—of the preponder ance of blunder, haste, and sacrifice to expediency. A very important Session is rapidly approaching--- indeed the first step, the election of Speaker, will take place this day ; and without pretending to any extraordinary powers of vaticination, we may venture to predict with tolerable accuracy the course that will be adopted. When the swearing in of the new Members has been completed, we shall have " the QUEEN'S Speech," framed as usual on the principle of telling very little. That will be followed in due course by the debates on the " Addresses." which will, in truth, he neither more nor less than the echoes of what the Royal lips are made to utter. The same Ministers who prepare " the Speech from the Throne " will also provide " a cut-and-dry " loyal and dutiful Ad dress from each Rouse of Parliament, to which they will again, in due course, indite her MAJESTY'S " most gracious reply." There will probably be discussions on each Address—for legislators, whether hereditary or elective, are exceedingly fond of hearing their own voices, and of being reported in the public jour nals (in fear of which they live, while they affect to despise them). We do not, however, think that there will be any formal trial of strength, Ministers w ill carefully avoid anything calculated to provoke a con test, while their opponents will be equally unwilling to risk a division in that early stage of the proceed ings when they must do so, if at all, at a con siderable disadvantage. Then will follow a great deal of word-spinning and sentence-weaving on the merits .of the departed Hero, whose obse quies will be celebrated by his g:ateful coun try. Until the nation has discharged that last melancholy tribute of respect and gratitude to its most faithful and efficient servant, there will be com paratively little wrangling , men of all classes and varieties of political f ee li ng w ill v i e w i t h eac h other in exhibiting the affectionate regard they entertained for the mighty dead. Wh en th a t i s accomp li shed, and all that remains of the great Dime h as b een con signed to its last resting-place, the real business of the Session will commence. Then, if not anticipated during the debates on the Address, we may expect certain Ministerial declarations as to the principles and policy on which they will endeavour to carry on the Government. We may look forward to a vast quantity of speech -making on this, by which th e Ministerial equanimity will be very little milled or disturbed. Meanwhile, even on the first day of the Session, " Honourable Gentlemen" (as it is the fashion to call them) will have commenced their " pen-and-ink' assaults on the virgin purity of the blank pages which constitute what is yclept " the Notice Book," every on will rush to that important volume, to enter his notice of some favourite measure which he intends to bring f orwar d . T he Mi n i ster i a l Whipp e r-in w ill also give his notices, including, perhaps, some ten to tw .l twenty new bill s , or mod ifi cat i ons o f o ld ones. There will, in fact, b e as much work cut out for the Com mons during the first working week of the Session as they could reasonably expect to get n through in eig T h h te e e n n , imnotuhtehsf'u'ltlhnaersad olafbtioraure."woisl exposition i ti a e rriv e e f the the C fi u n e a rt e: C ELLO& of the ExcueQuen.'s e x , p ail question. We shall have his Budget, and it must ~~ company to be denied the ordinary legal facilities and protection requisite to the safe transaction of business, —to be, in fact, commercially outlawed. Trade and business is, however, an elastic thing—a thing of b u resources;eceed, they and if the opponents of the may find to their surprise that t: which could be a t th e Mil an d ecrees i s no t charter u n tll spirit e succeed, less potent when arrayed against Archdeacons and Vicars, and even Archbishops too. Neither can the opponents deny that it is their own religious views which they seek thus to establish by penalty. It is notorious that the ablest divines ever since LUTHER'S Reformation have been opposed to Judaizing views of the Loan's-day. This subject was, however, some years ago fully discussed by one of the ablest writers of the day in this very journal. It is still more notorious that—cull it want of religion, a defect of religious instruction, or what you will— that yet myriads of our population do not feel bound to observe the Sunday in the way which the objec tors do. We ask, then, what is it but persecution in favour of the Puritan view of the Sabbath, when men step forward and demand of the QUEEN or Parliament to refuse commercial rights and protection to those who would provide the means for spending the Sun• day according to the opposite views ? If we remem ber right, persons were once outlawed for denying the Divinity of Jesus CHRIST. In Ireland they were almost worse than outlawed for Popery; Dissenters could not hold their opinions, till very recently, but at the penalty of exclusion from municipal corpora tions. What conceivable difference is there, in prin ciple, between those now universally execrated pen alties, and the one which the Sabbatarians seek to in flict on the Crystal Palace Company, and their cus tomers whose religious views on Sunday observance differ from those of their opponents ? We would appeal again on a somewhat different ground to these gentlemen. We appeal to their own, indeed, to every man's, view of the very nature of religion ; with them, however, as professing higher spirituality than the ritualist or the "profane vulgar," our argument ought to have double weight ; and we ask what real gain do they expect from success ? Suppose they confine to the town, perforce, the mul titudes who would resort to Sydenham on the Sun day, have they made those multitudes Sabbatarians thereby ? Do they cease from their pleasure willingly? And if not, are they one whit more religious in the Sabbatarian's own view, fretting and chafing at home, and reviling it may be the persons who keep them there, than if they were strolling over the grounds at Sydenham ? If it be essential to all religion that its acts proceed from the heart, what can those have done for religion, who have merely compelled an out ward abstinence, leaving the heart exasperated against the prohibition? Nay, were the Sabbatarians right in their creed, yet in the view of every intelligent man amongst them their present course must be one of fatal injury to it. They may be assured that the multitudes, whom they thwart, will acquire a deep rooted hatred for the religion of the men who have only mastered, not convinced, them. Per secution which does not exterminate, never converts, and generally increases the numbers of the party attacked. We have not even adverted to the known vice amidst which these gentlemen would detain the class of people who would resort on the Sunday to Sydenham. They ought to view it not as a question between the Churches and the Crystal Palace, but between the gin-shop and the back streets and alleys of the unwashed, and the sober, cleanlier entertain ments of Sydenham Park. It is worth mention that the opponents of the com pany have endeavoured somewhat to mystify the sub ject by representing the QUEEN as called upon to use her powers, for the first time, to establish Sabbath de secration. The statement is doubly false. 'We be lieve chartered companies exist involving what is considered as Sabbath desecration. Companies esta blished by Act of Parliament do, most certainly ; and this, as including the sanction of the three estates of the realm, must, a fortiori, be worse than a charter. But it is especially false to represent the QUEEN as establishing by an act of power, that to which she only grants the protection of laws, whose administration is confided to her as the head of the Executive. If, in administering these laws, she given protection only to one or more classes of religionists, and refuses it to others, she is degraded at once to the sectarian perse cutor. If, supposing her a Sabbatarian, she be ad vised that she can make her subjects Sabbatarians, by cutting off legal protection from the least objection able means of Sunday recreation and amusement, she is advised to renew in principle the converting agencies of a CHARLENANGR, and the adviser might, on the same grounds, defend her compelling her Mahommedan subjects to turn Christians under the penalty of decapitation. co n e would have thought that the Post-office affair might have taught the Agnewites a lesson. This is not the day for making people religious by law. Penalties for not attending the parish church are now done away with ; we hope even the Islington clergy do not wish to renew them. But we must have complete liberty, and penalties must be done away for spending our time es we please on a Sunday. The whole question is one between each man and Him who de clared himself " the Lord of the Sabbath." He needs not the puny arm of human legislation, or the profane help of human penalties, to secure such a use of the LORD'S day as he requires. To Him, indeed, the forced and outward homage which the anti-charter men seek to present him, is an insult and an abomina tion. What a pity that good and often well-meaning men cannot be content to serve their GOD in their own way, without endeavouring to make others hypo. crites 1 THE ADDRESS IN REPLY TO THE ROYA L S PEECH -It is believed that the add ress in the House o f C ommons will be moved by Lord Louvain°, member for North Nor thumberland, and seconded by Mr. E.

Stewart, Goddow, Husk, Saud. Cowell, and J. Ross. Miss Jacobs, who, we some time since predicted would ulti mately prove one of our best vocalists, has fully realized our expectations. She possesses a clear, expressive, and brilliant soprano voice. The charming manner in which she rendered a Spanish song, entitled " Come, join the dance," completely took her hearers by storm—in fact it was the gem of the en tertainment. Mr. Hime sang in an exquisite sty'e a ballad, written by himself, entitled " Look always on the sunny side ;" while Mr. Cowell, by his humoursome comic powers, kept the risible faculties of the audience in a constant state of excitement every time he came before them. Mr. Coule e assisted by his pupils, in the course of the evening played some pleasing selections on the accordion. The hall was com pletely crowded. tion will again be discussed; National Art consoled with the promise of a gallery, among the market gardens, at Brompton. Joint-stock projects will have their share of legislation ; the connexion between Fr AIL, the barber, and Major BERESFORD, the Privy Councillor and Secretary-at-War, will be examined into, unless the Right Hon. Gentleman should seek refuge in a West India Government. Sundry elec tion petitions will be disposed of, and different com mittees will have to express their opinions as to what is legitimate interference with the voter, and what is unconstitutional dictation or intimidation. The deci sions will probably be that words are lawful—that threats of either temporal or eternal punishment may be resorted to, but that Uudgeons, or brickbats, or hard cash, are forbidden. Lord JOEIN will again bid energetically for office, and show his devotion to the caue of Reform, by voting against Mr. BERKELEY'S motion for the Ballot. Lord PALMERSTON will touch in his own clever way upon foreign affairs, including the French Empire, Italian absolutism, and-the American cod-fishery. Law Reform will again be extended a little further—the wants of the country in that re spect being supplied by rather small instalments, but all steps in the right direction. But above all, and through all, will be one constant and incessant attack on Ministers—very probably led by GRAHAM and GLADSTONE—because they are so hard-hearted as to remain in office. Even in the centre of the melee certain to follow Baron ROTHSCHILD taking of his seat, this cuckoo-cry on the part of the outs against the ins will certainly prevail. After months of talk ing, a few B ills mutilated and emasculated, will be hurried through, and thus will close the long-ex pected and anxiously looked-for Session. Now all the Government measures might be de liberately considered, and, if deemed expedient, passed, if the plainly obvious plan were adopted, of letting a moiety of such measures originate in the Upper House. Instead of this, all are commenced in the. Lower House, and hurried into the Lords, at the vevy enkof the Session, where many good Bills are rejected—not from caprice or opposition, but becat - ,se the Peers are naturally unwilling to give their sanction to laws on which they have been allowed but little time for deliberation. Hence, too, duping two-thirds of the Session, very little is done in the Lords. Occasionally there may be an eloquent oration from BROUGHASI, a sarcastic speech from LYNDIIURST, or a splenetic effusion from Earl GREY, but for the most part the Lords are idle until the Session is nearly over. Thu Commons, of course, retain their privilege of originating all measures of supply, but these are not very numerous: and so long as the substantial control over the public purse is retained by the representatives of the people, there need not be any unreasonable jealousy at any merely formal interference with the recognized right. Give the Lords their fair share of work at the commencement of the session, instead of overweight ing them at its close. They are ready, able, and ever anxious to do this work. And if the reform in law making is to be carried out properly, let it be provided that measures which have been postponed merely from want of time (the result of throwing too much work on one llouse, and too little on the other), shall be resumed in the next Session of the same Parliament at the respective stages in which they were left. From the turn which the Crystal Palace business has taken, it becomes desirable, laying aside all tem per and declamation, to look dispassionately at the principles on which it ought to be settled. We are disappointed, as we have observed, in Lord DEBBY; since, had he seen fit to adhere to a Government en gagement with a commercial company, on the faith of which they have already incurred a considerable outlay, we are confident that our business-like Par liament would promptly, by a special Act, have met his legal oversight. There is, however, a view of the whole question, which seems to have been pretty g re e l n ig er ie a u ll s y a o g v i e ta r t lo e o re k , ed, and against by g none rantin m ge o e r h e so than h etterte the Palace. That question is, whether they are taking a course consistent with thorough-going religious liberty. Whether the imprisonment of the MADIAIEtt with which England, Ireland, indeed, all Europe is now ringing, may not be defended on the same prin ciples, in virtue of which a charter is to be denied to the Crystal Palace. The degree of punishment way be different in Tuscany and England, the thing deemed irreligious may be, different, but the principle is identical, namely, that it is the province of Go vernment to cherish religion, and to prevent irreligion by law—i.e., by physical farce—by penalties. Let us examine the case. What do the Crystal Palace Company want ? They want, as a commer cial company, an exercise of the right of the Crown to grant a commercial charter—a right entrusted to the Crown for purely secular purposes, and never withheld from any respectable company. An Act of Parliament could effect thet same objects, and Is never withheld, except it can be uhown that powers injuri ous to the property or life of her RIAJEsTr's subjects, are claimed by the applicants. A Charter, or an Act, can limit the responsibility of shareholders, so that each shareholder cannot be sued by a malicious credi tor, but the company can sue, and be sued, in the name of its secretary. An invaluable Convenience commercially, a protection to the individuals com posing the company against caprice or spite, but a protection which any company of honest men, any company which can show that it is not a mere but Ale or fraudulent scheme, has the fuller t right to demand. Now, what is the ground on which this claim of the Company is opposed ? Is it alleged ,that its estab lishment will be ruinous to any other corn pang already chartered ? That it will be a nuisance iu a populous neighbourhood ? That it will ruinously depreciate the value of property near it ? That it foster drunkenness, riot, or licentiousness ? That it will endanger the life, health, or limbs of her MAJE: ITT'S subjects ? On the contrary, the very reverse of tl less usual objections is true of the Company's projeors. They claim " a liberty which is— Uniunpeached of usurpation, And to no man's wrong." No ; the single ground of opposition is a r gligions one. Certain parties think it very irreligious to use the Sunday (to call it the Sabbath is really to ,beg a very grave question) as the Company will give op por tunities for doing. In their view, it is irreligiott, 3 to Those who were in any way attached to the Go vernment took their seats upon the Ministerial benches; while the other members, who had occupied seats in former Parliaments, took up their old positions, either as supporters of Her Majesty's Government, or fol lowers of Her Majesty's Opposition. The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked very much fagged and care worn, and so, indeed, did Sir John Pakington, the Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and Mr. Hamilton, the Secretary for the Treasury ; but all the other members of the Govern ment, who mustered in great force, appeared to be full of health and spirits. Mr. Hay ter, the " whipper in" of the Opposition, was early in attendance, and seemed to be busily intent upon cal culating the extent of his forces, while Lord Henry Lennox did the same kind office for the Ministerial- ists. The front bench in the Opposition Bench was quite empty, if we except the presence of Mr. J. Wilson, and Mr. T. Baynes, who took up their posi tion at the extreme end of the bench. Shortly after two o'clock, there was a general move from the body of the House to the seats, and almost immediately afterwards, Mr. Williams, the principal doorkeeper, appeared upon the floor, ushering in The Usher of the Black Rod, who was arrayed in full uniform. Advancing to the table, and ad- dressing the Chief Clerk, he said : "Gentlemen, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners, by virtue of the writs addressed to them by her Majesty, to require the immediate attendance in the House of Peers of this honourable House to bear the Royal Commission read." The majority of the new Members, headed by Sir Denis Le Merchant, then left the House. In the absence of the House, Lord John Russell came in and took his seat below the gangway, nee to Mr. Gladstone, with whom he held a brief con versation. After a short absence the Chief Clerk returned to his seat at the table, when the election of the Speaker was immediately proceeded with, the right hon. gen tleman, who filled that elevated post in the last Session, being meanwhile seated in the front bench of the Ministerial side jnst below the gangway. RE-ELECTION OF THE PEAKER. Mr. ROBERT PALMER said it now devolved upon the House, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, to proceed to the performance of its first and most important duty, namely, that of selecting from their own body some Honourable Member who should fill during the present Session the chair of the House. He begged, therefore, to propose for that office the Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevret who had already filled the chair for a period of 13 years. (Cheers.) The motion having been seconded by Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, was, after a brief debate, of which we shall give a full report in our third edition, put to the vote, and carried. The Speaker then took the oaths, and ascended the chair, after which the House adjourned till to-morrow at two o'clock. OVERCROWDING LODGING•IIOITSES. -- Yesterday evening Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy coroner, held an inquest at the York Arms, East-street, Manchester-square, on the body of Mary Jordan, aged about 70, who was alle ge d to have died through breathing the impure atmosphere of an overcrowded lodging-house. After some consultation, the jury returned a verdict of natural death, but appended the following addendum :—" The jurors cannot separate without expressing their hopes that the Legislature will speedily pass some enactment to prevent the overcr ow di ng o f per manent inmates in lodging-houses, as has been already done with respect to the overcrowding of casual inmates in what are termed common lodging-houses."

Mr. Crowder, Q.C., appeared to movo an arrest of judginent given upon a trial upon scirefacias determined before Lord Campbell, on the 19th of July last, when one count was found for the Crown, and one for the de fendant. The facts arose out of a grant of lands iu Borneo and Latium), made by the Sultan of Borneo to the Eastern Archipelago Company, which was incor porated by royal charter. The provisions of the charter required that a deed of settlement should be prepared, one of the covenants of which was that the deed should be lodged within a twelvemonth, and that one half of the capital, viz. 1001., should be paid down. The former of the two provisions had, according to the finding of the jury, been complied with, but with regard to tho latter, their verdict had been for the Crown, and accordingly that the Crown was in a condition to abolish the charter. He contended, however, that there was nothing in the scirejacias to secure that right. Lord Campbell—Then do you mean to show that the payment of the money was not an imperative necessity? Mr. Crowder said that unquestionably ho did, for the whole terms of the charter showed that it was not, and his lordship would recollect that iu this case a petition had been filed by tho Attorney-General on the ground of fraud, and fraud, too, upon the Crown. What he contended for was, that the whole of the proceedings must exhibit fraud before the charter could be cancelled. In the event of this application being refused, the letters must go before the Lord-Chancellor, be done away with by the Great Seal, and there would be an end of the corpo ration. But the fact was, that if there had been any decep tion at all it was committed before the charter was granted. So that, even supposing that the issue as given against the Corporation were correct, still it did not amount to a forfeiture of the charter. Had the non-lodging of the deed been given against the company, no public body whatever could be safe, for this company had for four years been in constant communication with the necessary officials, and even with some of her Majesty's Ministers themselves, as had been proved upon the trial; and yet, during the whole of that time, the Crown had not only acted upon any presumed right, but had even refused to interfere; then at last came down Sir James Brook, and others, and caused this scire facias to be issued. It should be recollected, that whatever the company had, or had not done, all occurred with the perfect privity and consent of officers of the the Crown. A long conversation o❑ the legal effect of the terms of the charter, then ensued between the Bench and the learned Counsel, the result being, that in the event of this application being refused, the Crown was constitu tionally compelled to revoke the charter. Lord Campbell—The point appears to us new and im portant. Take a rule to show cause. SHERIFFS' COURT. CROSBIE V. MAINE. This was a writ of icquiry to assess the damage in a case of libel, in which the defendant had allowed judg ment to go by default. Mr. Whitmore appeared for the plaintiff and the de fondant was represented by an attorney. _ . Mr. Whitmore opened the case to the jury. This was an inquiry . for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of damages which ought to be paid by the de fendant to the plaintiff for a libel which the former had caused to be published upon the latter. The plaintiff was a tailor and clothier, carrying on business in Staf ford, and the. defendant, Mr. John Swaine, carried on business in Lndon, as a wholesale clothier, under the firm of Swaine and Co. Somo short time ago a dispute arose between the defendant and a Messrs. Briggs and Dowdesley of Staffordshire, which eventually came to trial in the Staffordshire County Court, held at Henley. The plaintiff was called as a witness on the trial, and on the following day, the 20th of February, a fair report of the trial appeared in the Staffordshire Advertiser. On the following Monday, the 23rd of February, ono of the defendants called at the Sun newspaper office, in the Strand, and, producing a manuscript report of the trial to a clerk of that establishment, he said he wished to have it inserted in the paper of the same evening. The clerk asked if the report had appeared in any other paper, and the defendant then declared that it had already been published in the Staffordshire Advertiser, and ha bad no objection to its being quoted from that journal, as in fact it was nothing more than a copy of the report published on the previous Friday. The report was accordingly inserted in the Sun ; but so far from its being the report which had appeared in the Staffordshire Advertiser, or a fair and impartial report of the trial at all, it was nothing more than a puff of the defendant's house, and contained a false and libellous statement to tha effect that at the County Court trial the defendant was put into the witness box to support the defence; but ne " was rebuked by the learned counsel for the intoxicated state in which he appeared, and he was ordered to stand down." This statement was wholly untrue, and being published in a paper with a large commercial circulation it was calculated to do the plaintiff a serious injury if it was allow( ci to go uncontradicted, he was therefore compelled to bring the present action to vindicate his character. The defendant, however, had suffered judg ment to pass against him by default, having in defence in justification to plead to the libel, and the matter now came before the jury for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of compensation that the plaintiff was en titled to. Mr. Charles Chester Mort was called, and gave evi dence that he resides at Stafford, and is editor of the Stafford Advertiser, which is published every Saturday. Knew Mr. Crosbie very well; he carries on business as a clothier and mercer. Plaintiff does a very large bus iness there. The Stafford Advertiser of the 21st of February contained a report of a case tried in the Staf ford County Court between Messrs. Swaine and Briggs and Deivley. Witness had seen a copy of The .Sun of Monday, the 23rd of February, headed " Important Decision," &c.; he had compared it with the report in the Stafford Advertiser, and it was not a copy of that published in the latter paper. (The witness here read the particular words urged in the libel.) The Under-Sheriff said it was unnecessary to go into the question of the libel, for that was clearly admitted by defendant suffering judgment to go by default. Mr. Whitmore said he put the point to show the anni mus of the defendant in falsifying the original, and there could be no doubt that that report was true, and that the variation must have been wilful. The Witness, in continuation, said he did not think that the libel was of a nature to do any consider able damage or injury to the plaintiff, who was well known in the place and neighbourhood ; but, speaking generally, the libel was of a highly-injurious tendency. Cross-examined—Was not present when the case was tried. Did not know that plaintiff had sustained any special damage—he considered that it was perfectly above notice in the neighbourhood. Re-examined by Mr. Whitmore. He of oourse con fined the effect to the neighbourhood and to persons to whom the plaintiff was known. Mr. James Keith was called and proved that he was a clerk in Sun newspaper. On Monday the 23rd of February the defendant, who is a son of the plaintiff, in the original action, called at the office. Witness knew him by sight. Defendant produced a manuscript copy of the trial at Stafford, and asked him (Witness) if he would get it inserted in the Sun of that day. Witness asked him whether it had appeared in any other publication, and de fendant said "Yes, in the Staffordshire Advertiser. witness then asked him if he had a copy of the paper. Defendant replied that he had one, but ho wanted it for another purpose. Witness next asked if there was anything objectionable in it. Defendant said, no, it was a very lair report. Witness then observed that he could not say whether it would appear or not, and re quested defendant to write the words, Staffordshire Ad vertiser at the bottom of the report, to show that it was a quotation from that paper. Defendant did so, and said that he would take a number of papers in the event of the article being inserted, and wrote an order for 50 copies. Witness repented that he could not say whether it would be inserted, for there might be something ob jectionable, but it should be sent up-stairs. The article was inserted, and 50 copies sent to defendant as ordered. This aas the only evidence for the plaintiff. Defendant's attorney then addressed the jury in miti gation of damages, on the ground that defendant was not actuated by any malicious motive ; but, being a clerk to his father, had in his absence, over zealously sent the article. He urged that it had not suffered any damage. Mr. Job Gervaine was called, but his evidence was limited to the fact that defendant was merely his clerk, and not partner in the firm. The Under-Sheriff summed up, and said the libel was certainly calculated to do an injury to any tradesman. It wal true no special damage had been proved, but it was difficult—extremaly difficult to say to what extent plaintiff had or may be injured. The jury, after retiring about ten minutes, gave a ver dict for 50/. damages. INFANTICIDE.—Last night an inquiry took place, before Mr. Bedfor d, the coroner, at the Rising Sun Tavern, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of a line male child, which was supposed to have been murdered at the residence of the Earl of Scarborough, 41, South-street, Park however, after a ve:y long consultation, jury lenient view of the case, and returned a sptcial tookl Park lane. ti e . a The or a verdict that the deceased died from suffocation, but how it was caused there was no evidence to show. SUSPECTED SUICIDE AT WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.— Yesterday morning, at an early hour, shortly after the pass ing of one of the iron steam-boats through Westminster bridge, Windsor, the pier-master of Westminster Pier, per ceived the body of a well-dressed man drifting with the tide. The pierman and his son immediately put off, and succeeded in recovering the body, which they brought ashore. From all appearance the body had not been in the water many hours, and the supposition was that the unfortunate man whoever he was, had committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. The deceased has been removed to the dead- housa to b© identified, and await an inquest. EPSOM AUTUMN RAC (THIS DAY.) (BY EXPRESS.) Match : Greek beat Abdallah.
