11 ,1WIs parts before it can be safely wrought upon in may, if we wish to be secure of the harmonious ad justment of our alterations to those portions of the frame which shall be left unaltered. In the mean time let us congratulate the country that the law has passed—and we pray that those who come after us may have reason to add—" sit perpetua." And let us not forget, that the Bill owes many of its best quali ties—those qualities which can alone ensure its per manency—to the House of Lords, who, under the guidance of Lord Lyndhurst, purged it of its uncon stitutional matter, and controlled its original reckless ness by the limits of law and reason.— Times. Our first impression was correct. The Commons have consented to the amendments of the Lords, and passed the Municipal Reform Bill, and this after loud remonstrances and grave assurances on the part of the Ministerial and Radical Press to the effect that the Bill was a mockery ; that its spirit was slavish ; that its pro visions were mischievous ; and that it could not, and ought not, to be accepted by the representatives of the people. The favourite alternative of " a collision" was thus revived again, and many persons began to suspect that there was something else than fury in the sound, merely because they had heard the sound so often. Whether this threat of collision was adopted with a view to provoke what it pretended to foretell, or whether it was a bona fide effusion of what we would rather call fright than prophecy, we have, of course, no means of ascertaining ; but those who are fond of conjectural criticism in politics will find in the present position and uniform character of the Ministers sufficient data to sustain any theory which takes the love of place and the dread of losing it for a foundation. If the people had responded to the outcry of the Ministerial Press by demanding the rejection of the Bill, there is little doubt but that a set of Ministers who are always affecting popularity would in that case have made a desperare effort to realise it. But, alas ! the outcry was all from their own lungs ; the crisis was all of their own making ; the collision was all upon paper, that paper consisting of certain divisions of the broad sheet over which they were known to exercise a direct influence. We owe it, therefore, most probably to the good sense of the people, that advantage was not taken even of the slight alterations which their Lordships had made in the Bill to produce a state of things that must in its turn have produced danger, if not destruction, to the Constitution. But happily the Bill is now secure, and we have already had the satisfaction of hearing a panygeric on its benefits from some of those who were the foremost in denouncing it as a mischievous pro duction, or rather transformation, of the Aristocracy. It is true that Lord John Russell and other speakers have expressly asserted not only their right but their intention to revive the provisions excepted from , the present Bill. But we shall then have an opportunity of knowing more of the working of the measure, and eve shall have time to look about us and learn what the real opinion of the people is, instead of taking the words of those who often speak loudest and most con fiently when they have least to communicate.—Morn ing Herald. We have the melancholy task imposed upon us— and a melancholy one it is—of announcing to our 'countrymen that the great and excellent measure of Corporation Reform introduced into the House of Commons by Lord John Russell, has passed that as sembly with all the amendments of the Lords upon its back, and that in somewhat less than forty-eight hours it will become, for the present at least, the law of the land. Having already entered our protest against these amendments, a; well as given our reasons for protesting—having also denounced the House of Commons more even than his Majesty's Ministers, for vi'elding in the first instance, and threatening to do what they have now done—yielded to some of the most obnoxious of them, instead of making a bo'.d and manly stand for principle, for right, and for justice—it ,simply remains for us to add, in our own vindication, tt'at we still entertain our original opinion, and that. in that opinion we are justified, not only by the numerous protests on the part of the liberal conforynist3 in the House of Commons itself, but by that of Lord John Russel!, who, in advising:* unanimity and agreement to the pertinacious amend- Inents of the House of Lords, distinctly declared that the measure as now passed, though a great improve ment as a whole upon the present corrupt system, was not to be considered by him as a final measure, but simply as a step towards the attainment of the whole of the objects contemplated by the Bill as it originally passed from the Commons to the Lords. 'There is much in this announcement to disarm our hostility to the conduct pursued by the House, as well as to justify the line of policy adopted—with the solitary but ho nourable exception of the Member for Finsbury (Mr. Duncombe)—by time most liberal and reforming Members of the House of Commons ; but we arc, nevertheless, of opinion that many of the latter gen tlemen have egregiously betrayed the interests of their constituents—that the House itself has greatly lost in character and in estimation with the public—and, finally, that whatever the Ministry may have gained in the opinion of the old women and children who are to be found in every circle roaring cut at the full pitch of their voice, " democracy," " revolution," " stand by the constitution," &c., they have more than lost in the confidence of those who have been their warmest, their most sincere, and most strenuous supporters. And at what a moment were the concessions made,_ and so much character lost ? Why when the people of England were declaring their want of confidence in the Lords---their confidence in their representatives, and their confidence in the Minis try !—When not thousands only, but millions, were ready to stand the brunt of the fight in their behalf, and when the rejection of the mangled remains of the original Bill would not only have ingratiated theni still more with the people of - England, - but have insured also what must now be considered a matter of great improbability—the passing of the Bill in all its en tirety. However, we have done with an ungrateful and disgusting task. Time will show whether we are right or wrong in our imaginations—and the test of that time we very patiently await.—Morn. Advertiser. The House of Commons, on the request of Lord John Russell, hare accepted the Municipal Corpora tion Bill, as the Peers sent it back to them. The idea of a collision is at an end, to the great and ma nifest disappointment of a large section of the sup porters of the present Ministry in the House of Com mons and out of it, who feel that they have been treated very scurvilv, but think it good policy, never theless, to affect to be satisfied by the promise of Lord John Russell, that if they will only be quiet now, they shall have collision enough next year. It must be gratifying to the country to observe how much the tone of the House of Commons has changed since tile leaders of the Ministerial and Radical parties have discovered that there is a power in the British Con stitution, and in the sober and solid sense of the country, superior to theirs. A few weeks, nay, a few days ago, threat and malediction were the order of the day, and were poured forth in unstinted profusion and with insensate fury against the House of Lords, and every other constitutional authority save that of the House of Commons, many Members of which, with the approbation and encouragement of the Minis ters of the Crown, distinctly claimed for that assem bly a monopoly .of the trust and duty of legislating for the British empire. Efforts the most assiduous .and direct were made, with the full sanction and the active aid of the Ministers of the Crown, to en tice and excite the nation to lend its countenance and support to this insane pretension of factious and trea sonable ambition. Every town and village were ac tively canvassed for petitions and addresses, in order to make a demonstration in favour of the senseless and criminal project of governing England by means ex clusively of the Representatives of something less than a fortieth part of her population. But, fortunately, the people of England were immoveable. They could not understand the Whig idea of transferring the su preme authority of the State unchecked and uncon trouled to the hands of such men as Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Duncombe, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Roebuck. The nation wisely left to Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell the task of adjusting as they could the impending quarrel with Their revolutionary suppor ters ; and intimated, in a manner not to be misunder stood, that all the pains which had been taken were ineffectual to prepare it for the unconstitutional course which Ministers and their confederates had in view. ~.~..

The House of Commons, at the recommendation of His Majesty's Ministers, has agreed to accept the Corporation Reform Bill as amended by the Lords. We had entertained a hope—a very slight one, we must confess—that after the declaration of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in which he stated his fixed determination to insist on the Bill in its integrity, should the hu miliating concessions advised by him, and assented to by the House, not succeed in propitiating the Lords, advantage would have been taken of their increased insolence towards the Representatives of the people, to retrieve what had been lost in point of cha racter, both by the Ministers and the House of Com mons. It has turned out otherwise. We need not say how much we regret the course that has been pursued. We are as confident as ever that if the Commons, relying on the support of the people, had originally met the haughty pretensions of the Lords with becoming dignity and firmness, none of the funda mental principles of the Bill would have been trenched upon, and the country would have had a measure worthy of being hailed with unmingled satisfaction . But we will not indulge in unavailing regret.. Instead of uselessly lamenting that we have not got all we wanted, and were entitled to, let us henceforth endeavour to make the most of what we have got. Let us use the instrument, imperfect as it is, with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength ; and we may perhaps find that it will materially assist us in pulling down the strong holds of corruption. But above, and before all, let us direct its full force against those who have shewn themselves the inve terate enemies of the people, by a systematic opposi tion to every thing which is calculated to improve their condition and promote their happiness. It is against the House of Lords that the edge of this and every other lawful weapon must be immediately turned, for it is here that the root of all our evils lies. Hence have proceeded all the obstructions to Reform which we have hitherto met with, and it must now be engraven on the heart of every Reformer —.man, woman, and child—in the kingdom, that while it exists, at least in its present form, and with its present functions, it is the natural and irreconcileable enemy of the people. This language may, perhaps, appear to some people rather strong, but a moment's reflection will convince any one, who is not either a Lord or a slave, that it is moderate, and even tame, compared with that which truth would warrant. To say nothing of the resistance made by the Lords to the Reform Bill, and the means they took to render that Bill inefficient, by amending it into an engine of the most grievous tyranny over their unfortunate vassals—not to mention the unre mitting warfare they have carried on since then against every measure which had the public welfare for its ob ject. To say nothing of all this, let us glance at the havoc they have made with popular measures during the last three months : " I. The Bill for the Payment of Tithes, and for the Re form of the Corruptions of the Church of Ireland. " 2. Imprisonment for Debt--For facilitating the recovery of debts, the relief of debtors willing to make cession of their property for the payment of their debts, the prevention of frauds by debtors, and abolishing imprisonment for debt, ex cept in cases of fraud. " 3. Municipal Corporations ( Ireland)—To provide for the regulation of municipal corporations and borough towns in Ireland. " 4. Prisoners' Counsel—For enabling prisoners to maize their defence by counsel or attorney. " 5. Roman Catholic Marriages—To repeal so much of an Act of the 19th year of George the Second, as makes void all marriages celebrated by any Popish priest between Protestant and Papist. "6. Reform of Parliament (Scotland)—To explain and amend the Act passed in the second and third year of the reign of King William the Fourth, fur amending the represen tation of the people in Scotland, and to diminish the expenses thereof. " 7. Stafford Disfranchisement—To exclude the borough of Stafford, in the county of Stafford, from sending burgesses to serve in Parliament. " 8. Constabulary Forces (Ireland)—To amend an Act of the third year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Fourth for the appointment of constables in Ireland. "9. Tithes on Turnips—For the amendment of the law as to the tithinc , of turnips in certain cases. " 10. Tithes Recovery—For the more easy recovery of tithes. " 11. Witnesses' Indemnity—To indemnify witnesses who may give evidence before Parliament in cases of bribery." And to crown all, " 12. The Municipal Reform Bill, which they have mangled and mutilated till it ca❑ scarcely he called the same Bill that it was when it left the Commons." This is but a small portion of the work of this or gan of destructiveness. These are merely a few glean ings of the deeds done by our hereditary incapables— incapable in every respect, except in doing mischief ; but even these will suffice to supply the most superficial thinker with a reply to the question, everywhere asked —" What is the use of the House of Lords ? We have received German papers of the latest dates. They bring advices from Greece, which arc not, however, of any importance. The following ac count of the celebration of the Jubilee of the Refor mation in Genoa will be read with pleasure by all who take an interest in the advancement of true re- ligion : FROM THE LAIZE OF GENEVA, AUG. 12.—The Jubilee of the Reformation has just been celebrated at Geneva with ap propriate solemnity and genuine popular joy, free from all un pleasant alloy ; which was _ not a hide promoted by the pre sence of many distinguished clergy meu from Switzerland, Germany, France, England, Scotland, and even North Ame rica. After the hospitable reception of these worthy strangers at the harbour and in the Botanic Gardens, they were con ducted to these persons who had offered, nay intreated to ac commodate them. This was on the 21st, in the afternoon. On Saturday morning, the 22d, there was a grand general Ecclesiastical Conference, in which several Swiss and Foreign clergy spoke of the great importance of religion and general Protestantism, as it is now understood by the Church of Geneva, contrasted with Methodism in that city. In the afternoon,. there was in all the churches a distribution of the public medals, admirably executed by M. A. Borg, a Gene vese, settled at Paris, and of an historical essay on the Refor mation at Geneve, expressly written for this occasion by the Rev. M. Celleriee, which were given to all the children of Ge neva and the environs, from 7 to 15 years of age, without distinc tion of the rank or circumstances of the parents. These children then proceeded to the neighbouring extensive garden, where they had dancing and other amusements. Sunday the 231 was properly the day of the Jubilee. It was ushered in by the ringing of the bells, after which there was divine service in all the churches, which were handsomely decorated for the occa sion. In the eve n i ng th ere was a concert o f sacre d music in St. Peter's Church, which was finely illuminated. As soon as it grew dark, the general illumination of the city began, which was remarkably fine, especially on the quays, and in what is called the Rues Gassers, which were so remarkable at the commencement of the Reformation in Geneva. A mass of at least 30,000 citizens, country people, and strangers thronged the st ree t s , quays , an d squares o f t h e c i ty , w hi c h is not very large, without the slightest disorder or confusion, or even any improper expressions. Every body felt the impor tance of this religious festival, in which no political feeling mingled. Thus did the Genevese celebrate worthily, and in a manner to be imitated by other cities, the great festival, the festival of their religious and national restoration. On Mon day the 24th, there was another ecclesiastical conference; then a grand entertainment to our foreign guests ; and afterwards an excursion on the Lake. The greater part of the Jubilee was favoured by the finest weather. The Catholics in Geneva and the neighbouring communes were so far from endeavcur ing to disturb the festival, that many took part in it by illumi nating their houses. The Paris Papers of Sunday, the whole of which we have received, contain the Report of the Committee appointed by the Chamber of Peers, to examine the project of law adopted by the Deputies for abolishing the liberty of the Press in France. The Report was brought up by M. DE BARANTE, the chairman of the Committee—a gentleman with every claim to dis tinction which it is possible to derive from the most abject court sycophancy and entire devotion, from in terested motives, to the will and pleasure of Minsters. M. DE BARANTE has the high honour to represent his Majesty the King of the FRENCH at the Court of Turin, and in consequence claims for himself a large share of the sagacity awarded to the great diplomatists of Europe. To convince his Sovereign that nature in tended him for a shadow of royalty-4o: satisfy the Minister for Foreign Affairs that the very habits of an ambassador are incorporated with the exercise of his most ordinary faculties, even in the capacity of a legislator—he has drawn up the Report more in the form of an official note addressed to a crowned ally, than in that of a document merely in tended to convey to his colleagues the opinions of a select few on a measure submitted to them for approval, alteration, or rejection. Assuming it as a matter of the greatest moment that the Chamber of Deputies and the people of France, should first_ of all be impressed with a most dread conviction of the power, the wisdom, the learning, and the immaculateness of the Peers, M. DE BARANTE begins his Report, in a strain of lofty bombast, w!lich only not • disgusts, because too ridiculous. Perhaps, for a Committee of the Peers to report upon a Bill, passed by the Deputies, without Suggesting any amendment, may have appeared to M. DE BARANTE a proceeding so extraordinary—a proof of representative legislation so wonderfully perfect--that he considered it his duty, in order fully to make public the wisdom of the Deputies, to dwell upon the great ness of the assembly in which any act of theirs was wholly approved. " The project before us," reports the Noble Ambassador on the Press-gagging Bill passed by the Deputies, " introduces most important changes in the penal laws and nature of legal proceed ings, and it is we, invested with judicial fzenctions— we who number amongst our body so many learned and illustrious magistrates belonging to the highest courts of justice in the kingdom—we whonz public opinion regards as a conservative assembly—it is we THV SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SIMPT_EMIIiM 8, 1835 who, so to speak, are constrained to aranziir without discussion, to criticize an:Moat Nienditig! ". The cool effrontery of this passage cannot be surpassed. Applied to an assembly of mere drivellers—more than half of them State paupers, living on pensions ob tained for services which no honest man ever tendered his King or country—many of them in a state of dotage—and all dependent for their honours on their compliance with the pleasure of the Court—it is really one of the best satires upon the Peerage that has ap peared in France since the first revolution. We should have doubted the excessive malignity of the Deputies Bill against the Press—despite of the conviction de rived from a careful examination of its enactments — had not the Peers approved of it in the shape in which it was sent up to them. We are now convinced that it cannot be made worse than it is—that, in fact, it embodies all that can be devised for destroying the only lever with which a people can morally check the movements of a despotic Government. The triumph of Ministers must, however, be short-lived. The people, finding that they are betrayed by all in whom they trusted, will at last be driven to consult how they may best preserve their liberties—the first step to a third great revolution in France. The Paris correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, well ac quainted with the state of public feeling in France, and who has on more than one occasion taken notice of the apathy of England, with regard to the sufferings of a brave people, struggling for their independence, has the following excellent passage on this subject in his letter of Sunday : " I know it is the fashion in England to ask and exclaim— ' What do the French want ? They are always discentented. They are ever turbulent. What do they want ?' " They want evidence that they have an honest Government. They hear of colossal fortunes made by individuals in power in spaces of time so brief that one would suppose hardly sufficed to enable those men to become acquainted with the doors and cupboards of the bureaux. Hence they suspect and accuse them of dishonesty—of selling the intelligence arrived to them ex officio—of dealing in the Funds—nay, of direct robbery, by dividing with contractors the filthy lucre gained by the accept ance of tenders for the supplies of stores, &c, for the public ser vice, at enormous prices. The French want those constitu tional institutions and safeguards they conquered and believed were secured to them in July 1830. They want a Chamber of Deputies that actually represents the people of France—a Chamber of Deputies above the suspicion of being bribed—a Chamber of Deputies of which 226 Members would not vote such an atrocious law as that about to be forced on the coun try, and of which 226, more than 100 are placemen, and the rest absolutely under Government influence. They want pro tection from the spy—the bludgeoneer—the policeman, with his arbitrary niandat d'arret—from the sabre, the bayonet; and the howitzer. Enraged at the use of these persuasions, they complain, they assemble, show fight, and arc cut down. They want, in a word, that which they have shed their blood, during five and forty years, to obtain—that which they have, never theless, never yet tasted—that for which they sigh, although there really understand it not—they want real constitutional liberty. And this constitutional liberty they will have before the expiration of three years. We defy Lours PHIL LIPPE to keep it from them—we might even go so far as to defy him to retard the establishment of a free Constitution in France. The conduct of his Govern ment will only serve to stimulate the friends of freedom in their last grand struggle against regal tyranny. The advises from Spain contained in these journals are not important. The following, which appeared in the Journal de Paris of Saturday night, has been copied into all the Sunday journals : Letters from Bayonne, dated Ist instant, contain the fo: 1o;•ino• intelligence " The Preten•de: is still at Estella. " The day before yesterday General Evans, at the head of 2,000 English and 1,600 Spaniards, left St. Sebastian to make a reconnaissance in the direction of Ernani. After carrying the Venta de Oriomendi, which was fortified and well defended by the Carlists, he marched towards that of Santa Barbara. Two companies of Chapel-gorris having reached the summit of the hill, and the object of the reconnaissance being thus accomplished, the General fell back on Oriomendi. In the meanwhile the Carlists were reinforced by the arrival of two new battalions, and an engagement of no importance and with out result took place at Oriomendi. In the evening General Evans returned to St. Sebastian, having lost during the day 21 men killed and about GO wo u n d e d, w h om h e brought off with him." Letters from Catalonia contain the following particulars re specting the expedition lately undertaken by the Carlists : On the 16th August about 5,000 Carlist infantry, and 400 horse entered Huesca. On the 17th they reached Bar bzstro, where they killed two gendarmes in the streets of Cease, and remained until the evening of the 21st. The ap proach of the Captain-General of Arragon, at the head of 400 horse and 6,000 infantry, and the arrival of Colonel Ourrea from Navarre, compelled them to take to flight. They are said to have marched in the direction of Benavarre and Bron taigne. The Captain-General of Aragon has ordered that every able-bodied Spaniard, from 18 to 50 years of age, shall be held to take arms in defence of the Queen, under penalty of death. It is supposed that the ardour with which the Christinos are pursuing the Carlists, will soon oblige the latter to throw themselves into France." The same Journal next publishes a telegraphic despatch, dated September 2, announcing "that the Urbans had marched out of Saragossa to attack Quilez, who had come to I)aroca, and that the Junta of Saragossa had fraternized with that of Barcelona. Troops were still shipping for Portugalette to de fend Biiboa in case of a new attack." A letter from Cadiz, of the 18th of August, says—" To-day at noon all the convents of Cadiz were shut up, and the monks were allowed only five hours to remove. This opera tion was effected without the slightest disorder. The troops were all under arms': a company of Urbans was stationed be fore each convent to prevent fires. The mob, composed chiefly of women, entered into two convents only, the Fran ciscan and the Capuchin. They carried away chairs, a great quantity of provisions, Btc. " EIGHT O'CLOCK, P.m.—There is now not a monk re maining in the city. The natives of the country have received orders to return to their families. The others have received passports for their respective countries. Some, who did not know whither to retire, have been conveyed to Fort Santa Catalina. " The events in Catalonia have led the Government to take this measure. The system of Martinez de la Rosa could not fail to lead the country to revolution. The people, who have discovered the weakness of the Government, will not be con tented by the suppression of the convents : they will demand the Constitution and the refornz of the secular clergy. Dif ferent accounts reach us from all quarters ; it is said that at Seville, the monks have been massacred." PATENTS BILL.

Came home at three this morning from our defeat on the Catholic question. Poor Grattan's last exhibition of his setting genius, and of the gentle goodness which will glow till the last spark of life be extinguished Peel made a speech of little merit in point of substance, but so clearly and elegantly expressed, and so well delivered as to be applauded to excess. He is a proof of the great value of the mechanic& parts of speaking, when combined with industry and caution. He dow fills the too important place of spokesman to the into lerunt faction."—L?fe of Mackintosh, Vol 11. A letter, dated the 29th ult., from the town of Bex, in Switzerland, gives an account of one of those pheno mena to which that mountainous region is liable. On the 6th of August a considerable portion of the principal peak of the Dent du Midi, one of the great spurs of Mont Blanc, fell with a tremendous crash into a deep and narrow valley, situate about a league to the eastward of St. Maurice, on the road to Martigny, where an accident of a similar nature occurred in the year 1818, but it ended with much more dis astrous results, as then no less than 400 houses were washed away in a moment. In this recent instance the peak in its fall carried with it a glacier, which, filling up the valley, dammed up the stream which ran through it, until it bad ac quired sufficient force to drive before it the whole mass of earth and rocks into the bed of the Rhone, the course of which be came so completely barred as to dry up all below ii, and• con ' vert the upper part of its rugged and rocky course into a sort of t e mporary lake. It was on the fourth day after the fall from the Dent du Midi that the letter before me was written, and up to that time this extraordinary interruption to the course of the Rhone still continued, distorbed from time to time by inter mittent bursts of the growing flood across the barrier, the re currence of which was so uncertain as to deter the approach of the curious. It was not known th at any lives had been lost, but it may be well to add that the passage across the Alps by the great Simplon road is for the present cut off. An attempt had been begun to re-open the communication by a provisional road, which was to describe a considerable circuit, but it was not yet known what success was likely to attend it. DANIEL versus DAN. I stood in the Corn Exchange* last year And saw men grinning from car to ear, At the bitter sneers that Dan let fall Against Court, and Commons, and Lords, and all ; His eye flashed fire, like red hot steel, As he sounded his trumpet-note, Repeal, And swore, in accents fraught with storm, He never would compromise Reform ; No, Whigs might retrograde, but he Would stick to his colours manfully ; Dash headlong on in his Radical ire, Like a steed broke loose, or a house on fire ; Change the whole State-vessel's steerage, Burke the Bishops, and swamp the Peerage, And put things quite on a different plan, As sure as his Christian name was Dan !! I stood in the Commons' House last week, And heard Dan whisper in accents meek, His hope that the Council.of the nation, Might take as its motto—Moderation ! Caution, he said, was the soul of sense, He therefore eschew'd all violence : Besides, he felt convinced that the Peers,t Were not yet wrong enough, poor dears ! So begged that the House would lay no stress On their present slight wrong-lieadedness, But onward move in improvement's race, At a bland, decorous, snail-like pace ; Others might bully and bounce and storm, But he was for gradual, safe Reform, Paid us some years to come in pence, And in silver and gold some centuries hence !! While thus he spake, some laughed, and some Were from sheer astonishment struck dumb, But all agreed that ne'er was case (S - uggested by a hope of place) Yet argued with such powers of face, Since lawyers first to plead began, As this of Daniel versus Dan. Black once was black, but Dan to-night Has proved, they said, that black is white!' . l• In Dublin. He (Mr. O'Connell) thought it better to avoid a colli sion, until the House of Lords were proved to be sufficiently in the wrong.— Vide 31r. O'Connell's Speech in the House of Commons. The deliberate wisdom and patriotic firmness of the House of Lords, combining with and sustaining the good sense and constitutional feelings of the people of England, have taught the Administration and its des perate confederates an useful lesson. We venture to anticipate that in the next session of Parliam en t we shall hear but little of collision, still less of stopping the supplies, and least of all of the silly mo ti ons o f which notices have been given by some of the Minis terial conspirators for organical changes in the Consti tution, and which it' is at least charitable to suppose are intended only to divert attention for a moment from the ridiculous position in which the confederates have placed themselves by their arrogant pretensions and their hasty and disorderly retreat. It is surely not too much to hope that the House of Commons will show, in another session, that, that it is not incapable of profiting by the lesson just administered to it by the House of Lords in conjunction with the people of Great Britain. It is plain that the Upper House of Parliament is not to be subdued by unconstitutional threats. It is plain that the British people will not assist or countenance any project for carrying on the Government of the country, by the subjugation of one branch of the legislature to the dominion of any other. It is as evident now as it ever was at any former period of our history that it is indispensable to the efficiency and usefulness of an Administration that it should con ciliate the favour and acquire the confidence of every branch of the Legislature. This is the instruction which the extreme party in the House of Commons ought to de rive from recent transactions, and which a constitu tional Minister would consider it his duty to enforce. Is this the instruction which Lord John Russell en deavoured to enforce in his speech of last night ? 'We do not put the question in the belief that it can now be of much importance what impression Lord John Russell attempts to make on the House of Commons. The influence of a Minister must necessarily be much reduced (and that of Lord John Russell was never very great) among persons whom he has led into a ' position so discreditable as that in which the House of Commons has been placed by his Lordship, and led them, we may add, so unskillfully out of it. But Lord John Russell will neither take a lesson from past disgrace, nor permit, if he can help it, the House of Commons to do so. He, it seems, is so enamoured of the collision tactics, that he is determined to pur sue them in all coming time. At the end of a session in which the single measure of importance that has been brought to any conclusion has become the mea sure of his political opponents, lie talks loudly of what he will do hereafter ; and, with his penny trumpet, cracked as it is, in the conflict which he and his col leagues had needlessly provoked, he sounds, in his disgraceful retreat, a note of future hostility. The House of Commons will scarcely, we imagine, in ano ther session, submit to follow so presumptuous and incompetent a 'leaden—Morning Post. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

This is the first volume of a periodical which peared in weekly numbers and monthly parts und er the superintendence of the Society for the E n courage', ment of Domestic Industry, and for p r omoting of relief from the general distress. It contains lunc h that is highly useful, with a great deal of worse than useless matter. Several of the contributorS are me n of unquestionable ability, and of high standing in S O ; ciety; but to some extent their views are mistaken, an d their impressions the natural consequence of a Par tial examination of the great principles of political econa' my. As we reviewed the several parts on their fiat and separate appearance, we have only to express ca r pleasure at seeing them thus neatly arranged, and r ° assure the several members of the S oc iety of which t his periodical is the organ, that however much we may feel it our duty to condemn some of their opinions, W C most heartily approve of the c o m mo n object wh ich unites them, and earnestly trust that their efforts t ° ameliorate the public distress may be finally sue cessful. ENCYCLOP2EDIA BRITTtJNICA, Vol. XI, Parr 11. Seventh Editon. Black, Edinburgh; Whittaker, London. The present Part of this excellent Work begin ; with the word Hindustan, and en d s w ith the Tor Hydra, the name of the celebrated serpent of Lerna in in the Peloponnesus. Some of the intermediate art' des are among the most valuable in the work. T he section under the head of history is excellent, to the extent to which it goes ; but in truth it is much t o° limited, and considerable objection might be made t° the several periods into which it is subdivided. The papers on Hunting and Heraldry are remarkably borate, displaying a most intimate acquaintance with these subjects. The Biographical Memoirs, more especially that of Hyde, Lord Clarend on , are careft llo : l and judiciously written. The plates are n umerous) a n very beautifully engraved. In a word, the work is a lto ' gether one of the best of the kind that has ever 8 5 1 peared. Were we asked to point out an ything wh iff appears to us objectionable in it, w e s h ou ld say t hst the articles on Science are too long : those on bistorP chronology, biography, and subjects of universal irate rest, much too short. Sciences that are contint% i changing, and phenomena whose effects are liable ce perpetual fluctuation, ought not to have half the sP w a devoted to them which they occupy in this work. ue are very glad that the publishers are about to re - i s l s o this publication, in such a form as shall place it witlirs, the reach of the less affluent class of book purcha se We wish the octavo size could be adopted, as much more convenient and elegant than the (Iw o We are confident that if an octavo edition in we' e parts, or monthly volumes was being published , tbe sale of the Encyclopasdia Brittanica would exceed ,st of any five works of the same kind in the kingdom' EVOLUTION.
