A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was amore the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Order and th e first and second reading, it was sub mitted to the Sel ec t inittee on the Metropolis Water Supply . The Government and nathe other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter es, e n d s of MaY, when this Bill was called on , and t he evidence gone but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the House of Lairds in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and Witless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded Vet% in the next Parliament The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer isantY as to the extent of interference by the legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling th e Promoters of this Under taking to frame their measures to meet all the reqatrernents of the ..."" Act, and likewise to offer to the c a p italist a perfectly secure means of investment. The objects of this Company are : To afford an unlimited and constant supply, at high pressure, of a Pure, transparent, sparkling water, filtered, cold, and at an equal tem perature at all seasons, to the Inhabitants within the ambit of Rich mond on the West—Deptford on the East—the Thames on the North Tn Merton, Mitcham. Streatham, and Norwood, on the South, in cluding the densely populated localities of Lambeth, Southwark, &c. —and te afford this supply to the topmost floors of the highest build ing within these districts. • To supply such water in bulk to Public Bodies, Baths and Wash hon - at a very low rate of charge. To improve, by a complete and independent system of deep imper meable sewerage, the sanitary condition of the inhabitants of those districts, through or near which the River Wandle flows, thereby affording the means for the complete drainage of every house. The River Thames, the common sewer of the million living upon i ts. banks, is the source from which the two existing Water Compa nies South of that river, take their supply. The Thames Water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides of some sort, which " no amount of boiling can separate ;" and be sides these, it is impregnated with the Sewerage of this immense district, and receives in addition the washings of many thousand acres of richly manured agricultural land. From the abundant evidence given before the Parliamentary Com mittees. as well as a recent able report by a distinguished M.D. on Water as supplied from Thames Dimon, it is clearly shown that " no other conclusion can be derived at than these Waters are totally unlit for the supply of a large City !" u I that nam f l e n ly e River ut Thamesa afe t h ii s g s h o ei mr p 3 a l p a er idenh cann ead ot , t h h e e ate ra w ade r w o i f th th it e , whilst in the case of the Wandle, its water is c onstantly used in the M anufacture of paper of the finest teature an d most en cel ebrated delicate colour. its our.

Dated this day of 1852. same In full .. • • • • Trade or Profession Addregg • • • Address of Referee ELEGANT AND USEFUL. MOSES and SON frequently employ three 12.4 • words to designate two classes of Goods, one the Depart ment of Luxury and Taste, as that of elegant VESTS and TROWSERS, in ten thousand novel FASHIONS, STYLES, and SHAPES, for which their Establishments are universally celebrated ; the other for those STYLISH inventions in COATS and OVER COATS, for which they have gained a world-wide fame, 3 - ct never were three words so practicably used as at the present season. ELEGANCE and USEFULNESS is displayed in such an array of fancy VESTS and TROWSERS as have not been presented on any previous SEASON. But E. MOSES and SON'S innumerat le styles of WRAPPERS, CAPES, &C., &c., the names of which are too numerous for recapitulation, and the pecularities of which no words can describe, will, when purchased and worn, be an inetattestible proof of E. MOSES and SON'S entire precedence over ev, try other House—a distinction they have long enjoyed, and which they will never loose. Having purchased to their usual magnificent amount Previous to any advance in the price of MATERIALS, their DRESS for this season will be charged very considerably LOWER I lIICES, and be FAR BETTER in QUALITY than any offered elsew here. EMIGRANTS PROVIDE FOR SEA OR LAND- E. MOSES and SON'S OUTFITS are suitable for any passage at any season ; they are prepared for any climate or occupation ; ttkey have been procured by thousands of Emigrants, and at the same low prices, and of the same matchless quality, they can be se , : ured br thousands more. Having many years attendei to the OUTFITTING BUSINESS on the largest scale, E. MOSES and SON have the - highest credentials of merit, having larger and more trade i manlike transactions than any other house, they can furnish the most com- I plete and the best OUTFITS for the least money, and that every accommodation may be furnished to Emigrants at their Establish ment, they keep a separate department entirely for Oath ts. All necessary information relative to sailing of vessels, cost of passage, &c., may be had on application, or Post free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEEIIIN WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN of OUT OF LOWDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London C 8 6, 154, 155, lb 6, and 157, AM , ► rlea, 53, 64, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicliting. f London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, end 3, Hart-street, all oonamunicating.

" If I wished to associate with any individual brewery my re marks on the alleged adulteration of bitter beer with strychnine, it would have been only natural to have mentioned another brewery, in which alone, and not in Mr. Allsopp's, I was engaged in investigating the Burton mode of brewing : and it was also in that brewery and not in Mr. Allsopp's, that the Bavarian brewers acquired all the in structions they obtained at Burton. The admiration I expressed of this beverage in my letter to Mr. Allsopp is advertised in such a manner as to lead to the inference that my praise was exclusively confined to Mr. Allsopp's beer ; this was not the case, my remarks referred to that CL ASS of beer.

The essential object of :this treatise is to point out th a fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and ameos,,,z, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hoodond premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a suit cient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his• care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideratioti and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment or these cases Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

'Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. For mane a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by Its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was h,l known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in suc't Terrace! glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Pier. Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be found witnout the help of a grave-yard servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, arc now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in tie thing and disc to the dead.

The difference between true Sperma torrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of he subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the • brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

LORD MAIDSTONE AND MR. DIACAULAY. In another column will be found an epistle from Lord Maidstone to Mr. Macaulay—a composition which, considering the relative position of the par ties c oncerned, and the solemn circumstances which usher in the impending session, may well serve to il lustrate that remarkable law of our nature which generally couples the grave with the gay, the serious with the foolish, the ridiculous with the sublime. We are not sure, indeed, that Mr. Macaul a y wou ld not have better suited the dignity of the occ as i on , as w ell as his own, by suffering Lord Maidstone's hexameters, toge ther with their author, to sleep iu the obscurity which properly befitted them. We can only account for his reference to such a topic on th e p r i nc ipl e which leads dramatists and painters to diversify their grandest objects with a few grotesque images, in order to set off to greater advantage the more strik ing characters and scenes in their compositions. Lord Maidstone does not seem fully aware of the purely artistical purpose for which he and his hexameters and his late rapid conversion wereintroduced into Mr. Macaulay's sp eech ; so he writes in a tone of mingled apology a nd defiance, asking consideration in one se ntence, and proclaiming no quarter in another. His Lordship is a p oor complaining soul. There is nothing light or cheery about him. He has a quarrel w ith mankind, with M r . Macaulay, with the electors of Westminster, with Sir J. Shelley, and Gene ral Evans, with Sir James Graham, as he drops out incidentally, and not the least with himself. Lord Maidstone doubtless thinks he ought to be a states man, being born to that rank, and having started in life with very fair prospects. But to be born a states man, without the possibility of ever being one, is enoug h to sour any man's disposition. His lordship, having in a manner for feited his birthright, is at war with the whole wo rld. His hand is against every man, and every man's hand is against him. " Be ware who touches me," he e xclaims, as if he wished to be touched for a n o pp ortunit y of letting out what had been long pent up in his soul. But the penalty of touching him is not very serious, if all the damage he can do Mr. Macaulay, with the very best inten tions, is to tell him he is not a sound historical autho rity, that he has made some mistakes, and that he has been ungenerous to Lord Maidstone in attacking a man who could not answer in person. Mr. Macau lay will not sink under these terrible accusations. His authority is above Lord Maiestone's impeach , ment ; and there cannot be much cowardice in attack ing a man who has spent a life in collecting a vocabu lary of abuse, and rolling it up into hexameter pellets, for discharge at the first assailant. But all that Mr. Macaulay has said is, that Lord Maidstone was'converted very suddenly from a furious hater of Sir Robert Peel into a humble believer in Free Trade. Lord Maidstone exclaims that his motives are impugned, and claims the immunities of a conscientious convert. "Duty,"" he says, "excuses every man who changes his opinion conscientiously from the charge of inconsistency." Why, who denied you, my Lord, the right of changing your mind ? Not Mr. Macaulay, or anybody that we know of, ex cepting yourself. You have yourself laid down in your immortal hexameters that every one who changes his mind is a rogue. This charitable and most comfortable doctrine is your own, propounded specially for the use of Sir R. Peel, but recoil ing on your own head. So now, like that ingenious gentleman of Syracuse, you are roasting in your own bull, and bellowing loudly enough to do honours to your own w or kmanship. When Lord Maidstone next addresses the populace of West minster, and finds them insensible to the charms of his eloquence, he threatens to speak to them in legends, like the figures in old windows. He need be at no loss for the matter of these legendary scrolls. Let him cut out of his books all the rubbish he has written against " the apostate Peel," and exhibit it round his own noble person as the best account he can give for suddenly adopting Peel's measures. Per haps, however, something like a difference will be necessary in applying to himself the heraldi c decora tions he has granted to Sir Robert. Let him state, then, in addition, that Peel was converted by a fa mine, and Lord Maidstone by unparallele d prosperity ; that Lord Maidstone tried to come in as a Protec tionist, and, only when that failed, tried for another place as a Fr ee -trader ; and that the conversion cost Sir Robert his power, but did not procure for Lord Maidstone a seat.—Times. CO UR 7' OF COMMON COUNCIL, Yesterday a Court was held; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. This being the last meeting during the present mayoralty, the Council Chamber was nearly filled with members, and the gallery crowded. Mr H. BLAKE, being called upon, proposed the follow ing resolution, viz,, "That it he referred to the freedoms committee to prepare a bill for extending the franchise at ward elections, and to report the same to this Court." After some discussion had taken place on the motion, Mr Cox moved that the report upon the freedom ques- ElOll bu icfcraca back to tho committee for execution; but ultimately this amendment was negatived by a ma- jority of 76 to 22. Alderman LAW RANCE then moved the previous question, which was also negatived ; but before the " original motion" was Put, however, Aldermen Wire and Finnic escape d from the alderm a nic bench by the side door, leaving but one alderman (L9.wrance) present. This circumstance being noticed, a member in his place exclaimed, "No Court." The Lord Mayor, i however, sent the o fficer of the Court with the mace after the departed aldermen, but upon his return he reported that he had sought for but could not find them. Much confusion ensued, several of the members declaiming loudly of what they stated to be " a trick played upon them;" Mr Anderton indignantly, though apparently triumphantly exclaiming , " Have you not now the proof that what I have told you with reference to the neoessi t 3 for a reform of the Court of Aldermen is neither more nor less than the truth?" The Loup MAYOR then took leave of the Court. He said—l shall hand over to my successor, unsullied I trust, my insignia of office, while I wish both to yourselves and the Lord Mayor elect every happiness and pros perity. (Loud cheers.) Mr NORRIS, in the name of the Court, offsred up a high eulogiem upon the puectuality, urbanity, and gene rous character of the worthy chief magistrate on his re tirement, which was received with loud cheers, after which the protracted sitting terminated.

(From the Times) Railway amalgation has now been trought, in its true character and purport, pleinly and distinctly before the public. We yesterday reported the speeches on th;s question of two eminent chairmen, who quoted the opinions of three others, and, as their suggestions were accepted by the assembled proprietaries, we may assume that the mind of the railway interest is sub• stantially made up. Taken from the evidence of these very authorities, the case for hearing is 113 fol lows :—There are too many railways in the country. These undertakings have been projected and executed without any due consideration of what public con venience required, and the result is an overgrown and ill-distributed system of communications. The error thus originally created is made worse by the particu lar species of rivalry in which the several companies have indulged—a rivalry which (we borrow the di rectors' own words) entails upon themselves a need less and wasteful expenditure without any correspond ing advantage to the public. This is the case. The remedy proposed is that Parliament, which already leaves facilities for virtual combination, should sanc tion an actual amalgation of competing interests so final and permanent as to settle the whole question for all future time, and reduce the railway communications of the country to one great incorporated monopoly. With more or less candour the speakers generally ad mitted that certain restraints, restrictions, or regu lations would be called for in the interests of the public, to protect the population from those into whose hands they would be thus delivered. Before we can accept the question exactly as the directors propound it, there are several points involv ing some doubt to be taken for granted. It must be assurned that the railway communications of the country are superfluously convenient, whereas Mr. Russell himself, the chairmen of the Great Western, Confessed in his letter upon this subject that the Legislature was not unlikely to take an opposite view of the point. It must be assumed that competition cannot exist between railways, although one of the chief arguments of the Midland Chairman on Wed nesday fer the project of amalgamation w as , g th e great competition among railways, which was going forward all round." It must he assumed, finally, that this competion, thus going forward, has been so ingeniously devised and conducted, that the public really does not get any advantage from it whatever, but that, contrary to all precedent and reason, com panies have contrived to fall out without permitting a single customer to get his due. Omitting, however, these exceptions, let us suppose that, in railway language, the "preamble" has been proved. Two companies, therefore, appear before the Legislature, desiring to be turned into one, on the principal ground that more than one never ought to have existed. One of them, therefore, by its own present confession, must have betrayed Parliament into the sanction of an undertaking so unnecessary, wasteful, and injurious, that what was then done requires now to be undone by the same authority. Nothing, on such showing, can possibly be plainer than that those parties alone should be damnified by the result through whose misrepresentations it oc curred. We observe, indeed, that it was attempted to charge all the responsibility of these transactions on the Legislature itself, as if the assent given by Parliament to the sworn depositions of railway pro moters exonerated those promoters from all obliga tions as to the truth or genuineness of . their appeals. The sooner this argument is put out of sight the better will it be for those who, with such an assertion in their mouths, are now going before Parliament again. It will be a somewhat extraordinary proceed ing to apply for a second hearing on the ground that the applicants had proved themselves unworthy of credit in the first. Every one knows how these bills were passed, and by what means the consent of the Legislature was obtained. It was obtained only by desperate importunity, and upon the most elaborate affidavits. These very parties, who now charge Par liament with a false decision, procured this decision by the production and array of all kinds of testimo nies and witnesses, and by declaiming, demonstrating and swearing that the line or lines now sought to be swamped or neutralized were absolutely indispensable to the traffic and accommodation of the district, all presumptions and arguments to the contrary notwith standing. They must now be judged by their own words. Their attempted exculpation is preposterous. On the same grounds any debtor might evade pay ment of a debt by representing that he was a tho roughly good-for-nothing fellow, who never ought to be trusted. Taking matters, however, as they stand, without inquiry into faults or causes, and accepting the vo luntary declaration of the directors, that they are ut terly incurable, what are the securities desirable to prevent these gentlemen from treating the public as ill as, by their own showing, they have treated each other ? If they cannot refrain from cutting each others' throats, though no kind of profi tresults from the pastime, is it likely that they will refrain from like practices on the public when the amusement will be attended with prospects of pecuniary gain ? The amalgamating directors represent that railway trans action are now all gratuitously conducted in dupli cate, that there are two companies, two lines, and two sets of trains, where one set, one line, and one company would have answered the purpose as well, or better. They propose, therefore, in each of these particulars to substitute single action for double. But But there is another point. Over and above double railways there are double capitals, but we do not observe any proposal for cutting these down in the like manner. On behalf of the public, however, ,we have here to remark, that we have quite as much objection to double capitals as directors have to double companies, and that we have at least as much warrant for protesting. One of the two capitals in a question like this must necessa rily represent a line which never ought to have been constructed at all, but which was constructed in de ference to the importunities of those who now decry it. In the most favourable view of the case it was either a mistaken speculation at first, or has become so through incurable mismanagement. But neither mismanagement nor mistake can possibly warrant a transfer of the consequences to the public. If capital has been invested in a losing or a superfluous concern, those who placed it there must abide by the result. The first condition, therefore, of the concession now demanded should be the general immunity of the public from those obligations which pertain to others. The common stock on which interest is to be exacted should be regulated, in this respect, with equitable adjustments. Nobody would desire that the stock of one proprietary should be rigorously sacri ficed, but neither, on the other hand, can any claim be put in for its absolute recognition. The next condition should apply to the lines themselves. Directors must not be left in the unrestricted privi lege of saying what line should be closed, and what left open ; or what train should run, and what be sup pressed. At present the competition which railway managers are so eager to disparage does certainly secure us some amount of accommodation, and if this s.,ocopetition is withdrawn we must have what Mr. Disraeli would term a " countervailing" check. In short, as the proposed amalgamation, if fully car ried out, would reduce our railway system to the continental form, we must get the advantages of this form, along with its drawbacks, as far as we can. Directors cannot expect to unite for their special benefit the opposite conveniences of private enterprise and chartered monopoly. Government indulgence must, to a great extent, carry with it Go vernment supervision ; and, if railway managers can not conduct themselves in the ordinary way of business, they must be made amenable to extra ordinary control. A TH TH E RCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ON E CONFESSIONAL AT PLYMOUTH. The following letter, from the Archbishop of Canter , bury to Mr. J. W. Suultau, has been published : " Lambeth, Oct. 29, 1852. " Sitt,—l have the honour of acknowledging a memo rial which you have addressed to me, as agreed upon at a public meeting of the clergy and lay members of the Church of England, assembled at Stonehouse on the 12th inst. The memorial alludes to the introduction of doctrines and practices into the Church during the last few years which cannot be reconciled with the principles of the Reformation. This is a subject upon which, unhappily, I have been so often obliged to declare my opinion, that I need not repeat it now. The memorial, however, pro ceeds to complain of a practice originating in these erro neous doctrines, which can scarcely be distinguished from the auricular confession of the Church of Rome. I agree with the memorialists in believing this prac tico to be equally unscriptural in principle and 'mis chievous in effect. But I trust that public opinion is so uniform in condemning and repudiating it, that the con tinuance of such a system, either at Plymouth or else where, will be more effectually preven ted than it wboulioth be by the voice of authority or by legal enactmenttosc: ea 7 which, we know by experience, it is commonly to evade. humble servant, cAtavAR. " a. W. Soultau, Esq." HOUSE OF COMMONS —YESTERDAY. ELECTION OF SPEAKER. After the return of the House from the Lords, Mr. R. PALMER rose, and addressing Sir D. Le Merchant, the Chief Clerk of the House, said it now de volved on the House of Commons, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, to proceed to the performance cf its first, and one of its most important duties, viz.., se lecting from among their own body some Hon. Member who should fill during the present Parliament the Chair of the House. He did not undertake the task of ad dressing the House on such a subject without consider able hesitation, for he was well aware of the great per sonal responsibility which attached to any person who ventured to propose an Honourable Mem ber for so high and important a post, knowing that upon his ability, and the efficiency with which he discharged his duties, all the regularity of their proceed ings must depenn ; out on the present occasion he was fortunately relieved from any difficulty in this respect, for he rejoiced to see among them again his Right Hon. Friend, the Member for North Hampshire,—(Cheers) — who had filled the chair of this House during the last 13 years with so much advantage to the country, and so much honour to himself—(Cheers) —and who had ren dered it a less difficult task to select the best qualified among them for that high and distinguished situation. (Hear.) Under these circumstances be did not think it necessary to trespass on the attention of the House by any detailed information on the various duties that at tached to the Speaker cf the House of Commons. (Hear.) They were sufficiently well known to most hon. members who had before sat in the House. Suffice it to say, there fore, that in the choice of a Speaker they must look for some individual whose intimate acquaintance with the law and practice of Parliament would render him at all times a ready exponent of all those rules and orders by which their proceedings were regulated, so as to enable them on all occasions to confidently rely on his deci sions. They must also look for a person who would up hold and defend the ancient rights and privileges of the House of Comer one, if they should at any time become the object of an attack from any quarter—privileges which were not granted to the House of Commons for individual benefit, but for the benefit of the community whom they were sent there to represent. (He !t. ) They must also look for a gentle_ man who in the midst of party contest, and sometimes of debate, was enabled to lay aside all party feeling, and.to maintain, while presiding over their proceedings, strict and undeviating impartiality. (Hear.) For all there qualifications, every ono who had witnessed the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman in the chair would agree with him, that he had proved himself to be most emi nently respected. (Cheers.) Ho thought he might add that, in upholding the dignity of the office, and in pre serving an equal and unruffled equanimity of temptr under all circumstances, his Right Lien. Friend had not been surpassed by any of his predecessors. (Loud cheers.) He thought be had said sufficient to induce all Hon. Members who had before sat in the House to agree with him in the motion which ho was about to make ; but if he were permitted to say one word to that large number of Honourable Members who had for tbo first time been sent there to take part in the deliberations of that House, he could assure them that they would always find his Right Hon. Friend ready to assist them by his advice and experience if any difficulty should arise in the transactioa of the private and other business i©h which they might be entrusted. (Hear, hear.) He re joiced to think that on the present occasion it had not been considered necessary to make the question cf choice of Speaker the test of party feeling. Such had occurred before ; but it was to him a matter of extreme gratification to find that no party:considerations called upon him on this occasion to surrender those feelings of private friendship and personal regard which he enter tained for the Right Hon. Gentleman. He was sure that all those who had witnessed his conduct in the chair would agree that his uniform conduct in his high position had snore than proved the wisdom of the choice made by the House in the year 1839, confirmed as it had been on two subsequent occa sions by the unanimous approval of the House. He trusted that the House would now agree with an equal degree of equanimity, and place his Right Hon. Friend for the fourth time in the chair without a dissentient voice. (Cheers.) Ile thought that by so doing they would offer to his Right Hon. Friend the only reward they had in their power to offer, for the eminent services which he bad already rendered to the House and which, he was convinced, ho would continue to render with equal zeal and ability, only, perhaps with more effici ency in consequence of his increased and mature ex perience. Without any further preface, he then moved that the Right lion. Shaw Lcfevre be elected Speaker of the House. (Loud cheers.) Lord R. GROSVENOR seconded the motion. As the Right Hon. Gentleman had formerly belonged to the party which sat upon this side of the House, it, no doubt, would be more agreeable to him, and more pleasing, that that unanimity which was so desirable should seem to prevail in his election to the highest office in that House, and that ono at least of his nominators should be a member of her Majesty's Opposition. (Cheers.) Ho could have wished that some one more qualified than himself had been selected to give weight to the opinion entertained of the Right lion. Gentleman on that side of the House, of the qualities of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He, however, had been selected as an unofficial organ of that party, because as it was perhaps, well known, it was not usual for a Member holding high office, or who had held high office, to pro pose a candidate for the chair. It gave him, however, great satisfaction to have this public opportunity afforded him of bearing witness to the manner in which Mr. Shaw L..fevre had performed the arduous duties of that station, and he was quite sure that he was giving utterance. not only to his own opinion, but to the sentiments of every gentleman on that side of the House, when he said that not on l y were the y p roud of his Right ien. Friend as having sprung from that party of which they were members, but also entirely setting aside all party feeling—that they were more proud of him as a member of that legislature to which they all belonged. (Cheers ) The merits of the Right Hon. Gentleman were so well known, not only to the members of that House, but also to the public at large, that it would be a work of supererogation to dilate upon them at any length ; and certainly, upon this occasion, it would be extremely unnecessary, after the good taste and good feeling evinced by the lion. Member for Berkshire, in proposing the Right Hon. Gentleman. Before sitting down, however, he would take leave to make one remark, which he hoped would be found not quite foreign to the subject. It was said to bo one of the in firmities of human nature to give undue prominence to events passing around us at the present moment, and if we cast our eyes around, it would bo acknowledged that, if there ever was a time when it was necessary that the Imperial Legislature now sum moned should be presided over by a person of undoubted ability and talent, it was the present. At a time when the liberties of Europe, when the right of full and open discussion, and the right of public opinion hung by a thread—at a moment of this sort he was sure that it would be acknowledged that the character of that House was deeply involved by the manner in :which its pro ceedings would be carried on. It became us then to ect with unusual calmness, to take the utmost care that that liberty of free thought and free assertion which we so happily enjoyed should not be abased for any per sonal party or factious purposes, but that we should guard that right committed to us, he might say with out any exaggeration for the benefit of mankind at large. It this were the position of affairs, as he thought he could gather, it was from the assent with which his remarks had been received by a portion of the House, assure dl y i t w as a matte r of the greatest urge ncy that they should have over them a gentleman w h o se nice discernment, discriminating judgtnent, l arge and varied experience, and whose inde f a tigable attention so eminently qualify him for that position. At a period like the present, in whicl i t o , even throwing aside any other disturbances but those which he had alluded, the nicely-balanced state o f par gr ea ties would render that office ono of very c. t' h a ve at its it was most necessary that th e House sh o uld aid not tree head one of experience and ability. t pass:longer upon the attention of thebTier understoodbsee,butw conclude by seconding the motion, I wan the Member for to be that the Right Hon.

Friend, but for more to con S g ir ra ll tu . congratulate the House upon having a person of so large an Chair. It would be experience pro posed to fill the nee dless to add a single word as to the personal fitness of t h e Bight Hon. Gentleman,—but it was not unfit, nor unnecess ary perhaps to recall to the recolleetion of some and to take the liberty of stating to others, what a very different amount of time and labour were here required from the Speaker compared to former periods, and that time, and that labour had been bestowed most cheerfully, most beneficially for the public servi c e ' o ' by yt s h t actively, the Right most able Gentleman. (Cheer s .) A ilonour hundred years ago, not perhaps one tenth the labour which now devolved upon him was required from the occupant of that chair. A hundred years ago they had but three debates , and fifteen divisions, but in the last year there had been 224 divisions, and the Speaker in the execution of his duties tion with feelings of unfeigned gratitude. (Cheers.) An experience of more than thirteen years had confirmed the opinion which he held soon after ho had the honour of a seat in Parliament, of the value and importance of those privileges which were enjoyed by tie House, and which his Hon. Friend the Member for Berkshire had justly observed were vested in the House for the benefit of the community at large. (gear, hear.) The orders and regulations which governed the proceed ings of the House had been framed with much wisdom, cod they wer e well adapted t o t he p rinci p les fo r which they were intended, namely, the dispatch of public busi ness ; but salutary as, those orders and rules were, his experience had also taught him the enormous amount of responsibility that attached to an individual in whom was vested the guardianship of those privileges, and the power of enforcing those rules and orders of the House. (Hear, hear.) His Lion. Friend the Member for the University who, from his long standing in the House, was well qualified to speak upo n the point, and whose opinion ought therefore to be highly respected, had ventured to give the House some idea of the onerous and laborious nature of the duties that devolved upon the office of Speaker ; now, even -withstlaalexperience which he had referred to, ho should almost have hesitated in again undertaking those duties, but he felt that he was under a debt of gratitude to the House for its unvarying kindness during the period that he had served in the chair, and that he had no alternative but to accept the office again. (Cheers.) He entertained a strong con viction that an honest determination on his part faith fully and impartially to discharge the duties imposed upcn him, would not only meet with the indulgence, but also the cordial support and co-operation of the Howse. (Cheers.) With these few observations, he begged once more to express his gratitude to the House for the man ner in which they had received his name, and to assure them, that whatever might be their decision upon the motion before them, he should most cheerfully bow to it. (Cheers.) The motion was then put by the Chief Clerk, and carried by acclamation —after which the Right Hon. Gentleman was conducted to the chair by the mover and seconder of the motion, amidst loud and long-continued cheering. The SPEAKER having ascended the steps of the chair, said : Before taking his seat he must be allowed once more to thank the House for the compliment they had paid him, and to assure them that the renewed mark of their confidence wonld, if possible, cause him to re dcuble his anxiety to discharge faithfully and impar tially the duties which belonged to the office of Speaker. (Cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he must now he allowed to congratulate the Speaker upon having received to-day the highest honour which Eng lish gentlemen could confer upon any one who possessed their confidence and esteem. (Cheers.) Those who had preceded him had specified the great and eminent qualities necessary to be possessed by him who fills the seat which the Speaker now occupies, and he was there fore not called upon to dwell upon that branch of his subject. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") But he remembered that during four Parliaments of the Queen the Speaker had occupied the same post that he now filled ; and during that time, those who wore old Mem bers of the House had frequent opportunities of witnes sing the courage with which the Right Hon. Gentleman vindicated the privileges of the House, and the firmness with which he maintained order in their debates, and supported that impartiality which should always regulate their conduct. (Cheers.) He might perhaps without presumption, having bad the honour of a seat in the House when the Right Honourable Gentleman was first elected to the chair, and having been a member of the House during the interval, be allowed to notice one trait in the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman which he had often observed, and which he thought would have alone entitled the Right lion. Gentleman to their increased confidence. (hear, hear.) It was this—ho had often observed that in those conflicts which occa sionally occur where mere routine could not guide the individual filling the chair—when be was, as it were, taxed upon a moment, the Right Hon. Gentleman's re sources have never failed him. Ile had always been, in such a crisis, sustained by his own knowledge and zeal, as well as by the high respect which the house enter tained for bim.t (Cheers.) There was one other reason why he thought it was a subject of great congratulation that the House had elected the Right Hon. Gentleman. and that was, that he could not but r emember that in this new Parliament, the individual on whom would de volve, in the first instance, the disposition and control of public business, bad hardly had sufficient experience to make him fully conversant with the forms and regula tions of the House. (Hear, hear.) So far, however, as he himself was concerned, he felt he should never appeal in vain either to the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, or to independent members on either side of the House, and under these circumstances he felt that the selection which the House had this day made would be alike satisfactory to all parties. (Cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL felt that it was a matter of the greatest importance, and ono of the greatest good fortune that at this particular period, when there were so many Members of the House without experience, they should have to preside over them a gentleman who had already shown the highest qualifications for the eminent post of Speaker, and who, whenever it was necessary to enforce the orders and rules of the House did it with so much firmness and cour tesy, that he always secured the willing obedience even of those who might seem disposed to question his deci sion. (Cheers.) With regard to the observation of the Right lion. Gentleman opposite (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), in which he alluded to his ehort experience of the conduct of public business in the House, ho must be permitted to sa y that ho felt persuaded that any assistance which the House or the Chair co uld render him in facilitating progress of (Cheers.)publie affairs would always be most cheerfully giv r en it was o f the And it was right that it should be so, 'on fu tinue to set that utmost importance that they she "i with the utmost years, of carryieg discussion example to Europe which . they had done for the last few with the utmost regard f s o nr assemblythe ffi c u ask free dom,fosituationdecorum e a c n or d uimn s this must sometimes find himself.

It was very desirable that the Speaker should have better opportunities, than he had enjoyed during the last three Parliaments, of becoming acquainted with Hon. Members, and he was most anxious that Members should have more frequent o pportunities e of paying their respects to the Sp eaker. (Cheers.) H looked upon the Right Hon.

No man was more anxious to support the rules and orders of the House, and he had, in his humble capacity, given every assistance in his power to render them efficient., believ ing that upon those rules depended the regularity of the proceedings and the high character of the House as a deliberative assembly. It was not that he was desirous to detract from the respect due to the Speaker's office. but he was anxious to see the Right Hon. Gentleman" levees attended by the numbers who would do honour to him. The alteration he suggested would give great satisfaction. It rested with the Speaker to make the alteration, as it was a private matter, and he did hope that Members would be admitted attired in the same manner as when they accompanied an address to the Crown. He asked nothing more than that the Right lion. Gentleman should revert to the practice of his pre decessor. (A. laugh.) Mr. F.
