Parliament. But that marvel becomes utt er amaze ment when we are told that the sweet rural SCHEDULE (A). localities here reluctantly dragged into light are the destined refuge and balance of this mighty empire. The Commons having pretty well " tackled" the Lords—the subject sug gests a rustic phraseology —and having become themselves too equally divided between the interests of cotton and:of land, Lord John proposes to raise up a vast balancing and arbitrat ing power out of the very bosom of English society in the shape ofour small market towns. Like Numa— Curibus parvis et paupere terra misses in imperiune magnum—a new race of rural legislators is to arrive from the breezy dawns and sunny coasts of the south from Dartmoor and Salisbury plain, from the Vale of the 'White-horse, from streamlet and from wood, and a hundred sweet spots hitherto known rather to the sportsman and the tourist than the dull politician. In the fabulous beginning s of history we read of kings who, in the hour of distress, betook themselves to sequestered islands or woodland glades, where they tended sheep or watched cakes on the hearth till their tinie came and they once more appeared at the head of their armies. Evidently some such legendary precedent has suggetted the proposed rustication of the British Legislature. The rural virtues, which Gold smith despairingly beheld on the strand preparing to take leave of their country, have now every chance of bein in vited back and installed in greater dignity than ever. I Let us linger awhile on the many pleasing scenes recalled by this fairest of schedules. A Homer alone could find the epithets that mark best their peculiar attractions. There is \Vantage, nestled on the slope of the huge down; the birth place of King Alfred and Bishop Butler; there are Newport Pagnell and Stony Stratford, that we have so often changed horses at in the days of " the road ;" Maidenhead and Amer sham represent the "silver winding" Thames; Penzance carries us to the Land's End ; the fishing port of Brixham an the beautiful church of Ottery St. Mary contribute their several attractions to this peerless company; for watering places we have Sidmouth and Torquay, Bognor, and Harro gate, with others of less note; for respectful quietness we have Blandford and Wimborne Minster, in Dorset; Coggle shall, Halsted, and Manningtree, in Essex, and scores of other places too modest to be named. There is the bold promontory of Sveanage ; there are Fairford and Lechlade, once the sole seat of Latin literature in this island; the bloody field of Tewkesbury is now to be invigorated with Upton upon-Severn; Basingstoke, with its picturesque little ruin and its coach-deserted streets, Stockbridge with its trout stream, and Whitchurch, which has lost its sole remaining importance as the place where Oxford students took the Exeter coaches, are now set down to a rubber with Ando ver; the New Forest contributes Ringwood and Lyndhurst, Romsey its Norman abbey, and Alton its rural charms; there is St. Ives, whose bridge we have so :often heard of; and passing over places we have scarcely heard of, we are taken to Brandon and Swaffham, to Oundle and Chipping Norton, to Witney, where they did once make blankets, and to the venerable names of Bishop's Castle, Church Stretton, and Cleobury Mortimer. The famous ruins of Glastonbury, Burton-on-the-Trent, the beautful park of Petworth, Heytes bury, under the spurs of the Plain, and Warminster, ap proached by the woods of Longleat, are the next most notices able, among other, perhaps, more beautiful places; the quiet village of Amesbury presents itself with Stonehenge and Vespasian; camp ; and after a trip through the less frequented regions of Yorkshire, we finish with Harrogate, Pateley-bridge, and Ripley. Such are the most renowned of the parishes and townships whose delegated wisdom is to balance the Legislature that balances the world. How much do we owe, after all, to the early training of our states men ! How deep the love of pastoral life even in our hard 1 old Reformers ! Poor Falstaff " babbled o' green fields" after a life of debauch ; and after thirty years passed between bebates and office work Lord John still melts with rural re collections. But is it a constitution or an eclogue he has given us? Is it a text for lawyers, or a subject for an illus trated volume? Publish the Bill with cuts from drawings hy Turner and Stanfield, and it will infallibly pass. Should the continent be closed, or should the railways want a sub stitute for the Great Exhibition, they cannot do better than advertise " summer excursions through Schedule B." At all events we shall have it in a moving diorama. So re solved is Lord John Russell to omit no means of enriching the sentiment of his scheme, that he has revived for its sake a considerable number of the bo roughs, now, alas ! no more. In the list before us we once more see the faces of our old friends, Amersham, Camelford, East Looe, Okehampton, Saltash, Stockbridge, Whitchurch, Heytesbury, Downton, Aldborough, and Boroughbridge. After a trance of twenty years they come again to the light of day, at the spell of the same wizard who had consigned them, as we thought, to Parliamentary oblivion. As the object is to trim the constitution and to preserve for ever that particularl adjustment of interests it is our happiness to enjoy at this moment, perhaps it is scarcely ad missible to inquire into the numerical or commercial import ance of these places. If a jacket will stop a leak, we do not quarrel with the comparative slightness or apparent in congruity of the instrument to which we owe our lives. A very slight prop will sometimes save a heavy structure, though it certainly is found now and then, as at Brigh ton Pavillion the other day, that a slight prop may answer for fair weather but not for foul. The hundred or more townships and parishes —many of them are not even mar ket towns-that are to keep our House of Commons in the existing state gun, bsar about the same proportion to that giant as the Lillip u ti ans t h at h eld Gulliver to the ground; but if they answer their purpose, what more need we require? It is true that we may conceive a few sources of discontent to those who will not recognise in the end a glorification of the means. There are people we fear, who, as they run their eyes down the third column in this sche dule, will ask why Stony Stratford or Little Hampton is to be enfranchised, and not some overgrown busy town in the north, as if we had not the most ancient precedents for giv ing political power to the bramble, and leaving the oak, the olive, and the vine to their own more useful employments. 'I here are people who will ask why these sixty-seven bo roughs, of which twenty-nine return one Member, and the rest two, are to be treated by the same rule, and both classes augmented to the sam e e l ectoral magnitude. We already hear it alleged that the stream of enfranchisement has been directed by some cun ning hand which knows well what town to include in the favoured bound, and what to leave in the wide waste of the county constituency. As every complaint that can possibly be made is sure to reach us in time, we forbear for the present. All we have now to d o i s to thank Lord John Russell for taking us a trip of no small interest through some of the most lovely portions of the land we li ve in. Nothing can exceed the relief it has afforded us aft er the vast which . statistics and the dull utilities with political questions are now-a-days so generally incumbered. W e think the plan would harmonize have only one thing to suggest, and we really wonderfully with the conceptions of this measure—it is that the Legislature should discuss it in som e of the very scenes here enumerated, or others equally histo rical. Courts have been held at Winchester, Old Sarum, and we believe, at Wantage ; Councils have been held at Claren .. don, and the fate of empire has been decided in other pl aces of small resort. What more appropriate than that t h e pre sentin one of the measure should be passed very rotten boroughs which it recals to life? COUNTY.—Places to be Boroughs.
