TBE BALTIC FLEET. (Pr©m the Times of this day.) The years 1854 history for the two grandest illustrations of the art of bathos that a great nation—we are sorry to say; two great nations—could possibly supply. That we were wholly unprepared, that we started with no ships, no crews, no stores, and no idea of what was to be done, is not very consistent with the almost forgotten fact that on the 9th of August, 1853, six months . before our part - of the war began, the British nation—Oath, the Queen, Lords, Commons, Admiralty, and everybody of any consideration in the country,—presented to the Russian Archduchess, then sojourning among us, a s p e ctacle of unparalleled magnificence in the shape of a navn42: re view, comprising manoeuvres , a general engagemet t and an action with gun-boats, pronounced at the ime to be a very smart a ff air. The order of the day on th at occasion was, that everybody should believe a nd a i e; pro nounce the British nation irresistible on her and, although it is very true that the element, m ostment pro pitious to us is not the only one that covers our steam, this terra queens globe, still it was hoped that w ith our immense guns, and our portableflotillas, we had pretty well got over the difficulty of an occasional shore or shoal. We cannot remember that at th e atd e a n yor con any other date there was the least gradging of xpse, the contrary, we are of opinion th at if the First Lord of ' the Admiralty, or the Commander of the Fleet, or any other man of weight had come f o rward and said, "This is all very well ; these a very big ships ; and if th e enemy comes out you will be certain to give a good ' ac count of him but you. still want the precis e . description of craft to enter the shallow waters of ndand seas, and mortars and glens of a range to s tretch across them ;"—in that case the nation would have gladly thrown in its million or two for the' purpose. We believe that the Government, and every department of it, had a carte blanche for everything-that mi g ht b e thought necessary for the apprehended war. . So, in our opinion, it little avails to urge the economy of former years, or rather of former periods. Indeed, the very spectacle exhibited at Portsmouth on that memorable ,day itself is a sufficient answer to the imputation of economy. Those colossal steamers of the line, the cost liest and most elaborate fabrics ever floated by man, were not built in a hurry, or with a grudging hind. Indeed, .the nation never has grudged any necessary expenditure, or any expenditure for which even a decent case , could Ile made out. But, as we have said, in August, 1853, there was not only the readiness on the part of the people, but there was also ample time to' make.up any deficiency whatever in our preparations. Seven or eight months after that grand demonstration we had two large fleets, each considerably larger than that got together at Portsmouth, in the presence of the enemy—the one in the Baltic, and the other in the Black Sea. Oar gallant allies contributed two other fleets, thus making four fleets, besides innumerable transports —altogether thelargest armament ever put on the water. Considering that in the Baltic we had to ask and wait for a French army to take an unfinished and insulated fortress, and capture 2,000 or 3,000 Fins, and in the Black Sea confined ourselves to an ineffectual bombard ment of Odessa, and a still more ineffectual bombard ment of Sebastopol, we do not hesitate to state that in the year 1854 our two fleets—that is, our four fleets—did nothing in either sea ; and the only result of that season was that the Admiralty got some slight inkling of the work to be done. This result might, perhaps,' have been worth its enormous cost, had it been made good use of; but it was all but thrown away; and we started in 1855 very little better prepared than in 1854. Of course, we mean little better prepared for the particu lar work to be done; for, so far as regards the chance of meeting an enemy as grand as Ourselves, with 20 ships drawn up in line of battle in the German Ocean, or the Mediterranean, or the deepest and, iiiost open parts of the Baltic or the Black Sea, we were even better pre pared in 1855 than in 1854. ,Bat Russia, unfortunately, Mill preferred " her element" to ours, and had the wis dom, or, as Sir James Graham calls it, the cowardice, not to " come and be killed." Having been at the pains to build some strong fortifications, she preferred to keep her ships behind them, or, at the worst, she would rather see those ships blocking up the entrances of her harbours than paraded under the British flag at another Ports mouth review. Thus the campaign re-opened at the beginning of this year; ourselves'very little better pre pared, and the Russians in all respects very much better prepared, profiting by experience, as we had not done; But, so far as regards the old sort of preparation—the preparation for Atlantic engag,ements—we this year sur passed ourselves. Do our readers know the number of ships of war, besides steam and sailing transports with out number, that we have had, and stilt have, in the Baltic and Black Sea this year—we alone, besides the French ? They are not all half-pay captains or mem bers of the Army and Navy 'Club ; they don't all take in the United Service Magazine, and. see the monthly account of these matters ; nor can we often' find space fur them ; but here is the list of ships in the Baltic, cora rected up to the 27th .ult. :—Ten ships of the line—viz.; Duke of Wellington, 130 ; Royal G e o rge , 120 ; Ex mouth, 91 ; James Watt, 91 ; Majestic, 91 ; Nile, 91 ; Orion, 91 ; Caesar, 90 ; Colossus, 80 ; Cressy, 80 ; the following 21 of lower rates;—Blenheim, 60 ; Cornwallis, 60 ; Hastings, 60 ; Hawke, 60 ; Hogue, 60 ; Pembroke, 60 ; Russell, 60 ; Ajax, 58 ; Edinburgh, 58.; Euryalus, 50 ; Imperieuse, 50 • Arrogant, 47 ; Amphion, 34 ; Retribution, 28 ; Volage, 22 ; Cossack, 20 ; Esk, 20 ; Tartar, 20 ; Falcon, , 17 ; Harier, 'l6 ; Magicienne, 16 ; with 19 smaller vessels—making altogether 50 ; with few exceptions, steamers, and with guns of a very much larger calibre than those used in the last war. Here, too, is the British fleet -in the Mediterraneate'chiefly in the Black Sea :—Eight ships tf the line—viz., Royal Albert, 121; Queen, 116.; St. Jean d'Acre; 100 ; Agamemnon, 91; Hannibal, 91; Albion, 90 ; London, 90 ; Rodney, 90. The following 12 of lower rates Leander, 50 ; Curacoa, 30 ; Tribune, 30 ; Diamond, 28 ; Dauntless, 21; Sidon, 22 ; Higbflyer, 21 • Ter rible, 21 ; Modeste, 18 ; Furious, 16 ; Odin,' 16 ; roux, 16, with 30 smaller vessels—makingaltogether 49. The sum total of the work done this year by these two immense fleets costing how much to work and to • maintainathem would be - difficult to exaggerate, ha's been confined to keeping - :a.very _few Russian meo-of-war in harbour, capturing some crafawith fisb„salt;and market g00d, , , burning some stores of timber, fish, - ;and'corn, firin g some towns and vill ages w ith more or l ess success, and laying waste the arsenal and magazines of Siren borg. Fur every pennyworth of actual damage our fleets have done to the Russian' army and navy we bi lieve we have spent a shilling ourselves. If anybody can make out more by throwing into the account all the boats and cottages burnt,, all the sheep carried off, all the planks shouldered by our sailors, and striking a fair guess for all possible mischief done by our .shells and rockets thrown blindly among trees and outhouses, we. shall be glad to increase otir estimate; but .we believe the proportion of damage done hilts much as when - a . gentleman has a fight with a costermonger, and voile a pretty face and a five-guinea coat, without doing any appreciable harm to the physiognomy or garments of his antagonist. And when this is the state of the balance —when the operations - of our fleet have been generally so abortive, and apparently so childish and mischievous, that one is positively ashamed to 'read the account—the next intelligence is that the season is over, that nothing more is to be attempted, and that the Baltic fleet is coming home. This conclusion, indeed, was hastened, and a full mouth lost to the very brief season in the Baltic, by the fact that the fleet. having very early re solved to stake everything on diitant bombardments and • ;vertical fire, took out just a score of 13-inch mortars, neither more nor less, capable of firing on the average about .230 rounds a-piece. As a 13-inch mortar costs, delivered, about 1251, it appears that the great Baltic fleet; the mere maintenance and' pay of wnich; for the time it has been in the Baltic, has cost not less than • 30,0001. a-day, has been brought to - a standstill, reduced to utter impotence, and rendered a' laughing-stook to the enemy, just for want . of 2,5001:, about as mach as a man of .taste in these de l ls gives f or three early SZ;vres vases. Not to go further back an d it exhume the errors of past - Ministries, is now consi derably more than I/1 a year since the ()Nemec) was handed over to Lord Panmure, and he appointed 14 8 own Storekeeper. We conclude that Sir Charles Wood had then only to state what he was likely to Want, and the Storekeeper would havitaken care to have a supply ready for him. Between that day .4pd this it would have teen - possible to obtain 500 13 . -iiigh mortars pro perly cast and bored; and deposited 'on. any n ot in the hands of the allies, or delivered at any longitude or late tude in the Black 'Sea or hi the Baltic: ',Yet, for the want 'of 2,5001. worth of iron, we haVe cut short our Baltic season bYat keg a quarter. So the season of 18/15 is now consigned to the same limbo as the season 011854. We are to 'be patient, and lock to the season of 1856. We will be patient ; but we must, nevertheless, take the liberty of looking forwards. Is there any head , ift the' Ministry who can imagine 'the possibility of the fleets in the two seas doing any thing next year, and havi ng , consequently, either to re pair a reverse or follow up a success ? , Is there anybody who can take some sort of , provision as to what the fleets are likely to want in either of these emergencies; which, like a 13-inch-mortar, cannot be made in a' day ? Let the fortunate possessor of thoseprovident and cal culating powers be set to work at once, while there is abundance' of time ; let hisestimates checked by the authorities concerned; and let not October I pass with out all the erders beieggiven and tbe 'Contracts made. If, as our correspondent at Kiel intimates, the: cast iron' of this country is very b a d, an d therefore it :is that our' Mortars have failed, let some provision be made against this, eithei by better iron or fnore mortars. Let es have the 200 gun and mortar-boats promised by Sir Charles Wood, 100 for each Sea, and relays when xyanted., Let us have tr43ble of everything that is fOund by:expe rience absolutely necessary, and that will have to stand• the brunt of tha .wer. As for the big.ship, it ‘isaclear we'havo enough'of theta Number, not magnitude, ,is the o r d er of the-day.

The Convocation of the clergy of the province of Can terbury stands prorogued to the 24th of , October, with out having been able to agree to any recommendation that her Majesty could be advised to sanction, or to come to any other satisfactory result. It appears, how ever, that they have cut out some work for themselves next session, and among other matters a committee has agreed to a report upon church rates. That committee, it is to be presumed, possesses the confidence of Convo cation, and fairly represents its legal and legislative perception. It is, then, a matter of interest to inquire what sort of a proposal it has made, and what sort of ground it expects that body to take in its dealings with other couscils and communities" of the State. Since too, church rates are an affair in which many besides church people are interested, and which, in fact, some home to everybody, a tangible scheme for dealing with them will be regarded far and wide as a ready. test of the degree of wisdom which Convocation will bring to other subjects. Convocation, in fact, like other bodies, will be known by its fruits, and what fruit so entirely within the ordinary apprehension as a plan for settling what is properly, though inadequately, called " the much-vexed question of church-rates 1" We therefore look with anxiety to what the committee has brought forth, and have at least the satisfaction of in informing our readers that the. plan is in all respects simple, intelligible, and practicable. We .see precisely what it means, and know Certainly how it will work ; it requires no new machinery, and creates no new autho rity or process. What is more, we can discuss it with perfect tranquillity, for there are probably not ten mem bers of the House of Commons who in their most aban doned mood could bring themselves to vote for it. After modestly limiting the purpose of churbh-rates to the maintenance of the fabric and the church-yard in decent and substantial order and repair, the committee naively proceeds In order to enforce the payment of rates so limited, it is expedient to adopt the course of proceeding ,recommended in the report of the Royal Commission appointed in ' 1830, &c. That course of proceeding was the closest possible assimila tion to the course of proceeding for striking and enforc ing the poor-rate. The churchwarden was to make his estimate, and ask for his rate ; and, if the , vestry re fused it, he was to appeal to the Quarter Sessions, who might Make the rate in spite of the vestry. On the other • hand, if, the vestry made the rate, any individual rate- , payer might appeal against it. But in any case the Quarter ,Sessiona werelo fix and, order the rate, and it was to be collected, on their authority, on the same as sessment as the poor-rate, and enforced by the same means and remedies. These Royal Commissioners, find ing the Church-rate disputed at every turn, both in the vestry and at the ratepayer's door, and observing, on the contrary, that the poor-rate was struck without dis pute, and collected with no difficulty, at least .no more than any other impost, bethought themselves of coupling the questioned with the unquestioned, the weak with the strong, the ecclesiastical with the eleemosynary tax. Such expedients are no novelty, for, in fact, it is just what is always done, whether in the highest or in the low est material, if there is nothing repugnant in the nature of the thing ,* and .no external difficulty. We always attempt to make the strong carry the weak,—to wed, as it were, the vine to the elm. Doubtless the right rev., very rev., and right hon. Commissioners thought it a singularly ingenious application of an ex ceedingly general rule. But, whatever might be said about the proposal in 1830, just a quarter of a century ago, there is one fundamental objection to it now, and which it would have to encounter in lirnine. The pro posal begin-, " That, in order to enforce," &c. In fact, no matter how, it is a plan for enforcing a Church-rate. But the present law, as declared by the highest tribunal of the land, is that a Church-rate cannot be enforced, unless agreed to by a majority of the vestry. In 1830, when these Commissioners made their report, a com pulsory Church-rate was disliked, resisted, disputed, and so forth, but all the decisions were in favour of it ; and there was probably not one of the Commissioners, or at least scarcely one, out of the whole 16, who ha s any douht that' by common law the parishioners were liable fol. the repair of the church, and the supply of things necessary for the maintenance of divine service ; and that what was common law could be enforced, and ought to be enforced, in one way or another. But since 1830 the House of Lords has overthrown this be lief, and decided that a church-rate cannot be - enforced, and shall ,not be enforced, unless the majority of the vestry have agreed to it. A proposition, therefore, which might be applicable to the then state, or rather the then general opinion, of the law is wholly inapplicable to the law as it now is. It was then a project for carrying out an existing law—it is now a project for making a new law. The proposal is not only too late, in a moral sense ;it is legally antiquated and obsolete. It belongs to another era. There is not only the weakness of falling back after a quairter of a century on a' rejected offer ; there is the ignorance of supposing that an offer to carry out a law is still ivailable when the law is found to be no law. Alter the decision of the House of Lords the ma jority of any vestry has a right not to agree to a church rate, and so prevent a church-rate from being levied at all in that parish. On the refusal of that majority every ratepayer has a right to refuse paying the rate, which thus becomes a mere voluntary subscrip tion. Even where the vestry is otherwise unanimously for the rate, any one dissentient ratepayer can now ho nestly, and without the imputation of agitating against a law, contest the rate at every stage, compel exact forms_ of striking, assessing, and Collecting, use all his influence against the rate, and entertain the hope of one; day carrying a majority with him. Such is the 'existing right of the majority and of the individual, The com , mittee .of Convocation propose, in Ihe most off-hand way possible, to take away this right, to make the majority powerless against the churchwarden, backed by the Quar ter Sessions, to render the individual parishioner liable to pay alite he now need not pay,. and perhaps never has paid, and to convert what is now a legal and ho nourable resistance to a rate into - a factious 'conspiracy againstAhe law of the land: -This is what tt e commit tee of Convocation proposes, as if it were just proposing nothing atall. Could we supp ose th e scheme sanctioned by the LegiSlature, all the ratepayers of Manchester, of St.' Paneras, and Many other places , where. Church-rates either never were levied, car are now out of date, would be liable to pay them at the order of. the ,Quarter Sessions. We will net speculate on the inevitable results of such a change; but we `will venture to say that there never was imagined so effectual a scheme for extinguish ing church-rates altogether, and a good 'deal besides. We do not happen to know, and do not wish to know, ,whol were the members of the committee which signali,ed itself by thig :notable, project ,We. will, however, sug gest to Convocation to try some, new hands the next time they select 'an 'iinportant committee, unless they would los&nnt:only the shadow of deliberative,, or rather sug geStive,' power theY . now enjoy, but even the fond inte rest Pith which a section of the church still cherishes their fitful, and ineffective existerice. , - (Prom the Morning Post. )• • - Our readers are deuutless aware that. a petition has beep presented , to the Queen from both houses of the Convocation of. the province Of Canterbury, setting forth the desirability of amending the representation of the 'clergy in the lower house, and requesting, according to this proper constitutional forronla, her Majesty's license to deliberate noon a canon for that purpose. The prayer of this•pelition- has not been granted. - The -correspondence upon the subject between the Archbishop .of Canterbury and thu Heine', Secretary is novv rbefore us, and •exhibits- clearly what it , was that Cont oc.4tiou requested, though, it furnishes no clue to trig reasons. for the refusal. :The petiti on states that certain subjects, deeply concern the spiritual welfare of this reabn, Of, these,, it , enumerates four, namely, "the measures needful for enforcing discipline amongst the clergy': the extension of the Church : the modifica tion of h er serv i ces : a nd the reform Of the representatiOn of the clergy:" ' But, in the cOnsideratiOn of these, it is of' the utmost importance that the mind of the'clergy at large should be fairly. expressed: • This fair expression cannot,be obtained till some - modifications are made in the representative system • which supplies the Lower House.with members, Learned and excellent as the clorgy of that house may be, there are faults inthe relation bQ tWeen themand their constituents which demand remedy, and which, until they are remedied, must greatly detract frOM.theconfiden ce of the clergy in, the proceedings of that PlirtiOn of the Convocation. • Theast'step, then, ig,the amendment of this'represen tation., Till that is' done; all effective deliberation 'Must remain-in abeyance.

It is idle to talk of the necessary reforms being effected by Parliament. The offices of the Church cannot be altered by Parliamentary statute alone. The Church only can alter them. Parliament may tamper with the Prayer-book, but it cannot bind the conscience of the clergy. They are bound in foro conscientice to the present Prayer-book, and no power on earth can absolve them but that of the Church, by representation. Bat unsatisfactory as Sir George Grey's decision is, Churchmen must beware of attaching too much import ance to it, or supposing it to have a significance which really does not belong to it. What it does show is Sir G. Grey's animus towards, or rather against, the Church. It shows that he is not anxious for the effective discip line of the clergy ; that he has no wish to see the or ganic extension of the Church ; and does not feel the want of those modifications of the services for occasional use which are so generally experienced both by clergy and laity. This is all it shows ; and when it is remembered that Sir George Gray—so far as he professes anything at all—is a Presbyterian, it is not surprising that he should exhibit no great zeal for the Church of Eng land, and very little comprehension of her difficul ties. But this decision is no exponent of the feeliug of the Government towards the Church. Still less does it offer any ground for complaining of the constitutional relations between Church and State. The petition is not refused. It is simply not granted. But if from time to time renewed, it may be granted befor9 very long. Other members of the Government may support it, and better counsels may prevail. There is a strong practical feeling pervading the Government, and we may trust to this to pave the way for a practical solution of the synodical difficulty. When it becomes more generally seen that Convocation is The only organic action by which the ends proposed can be achieved; and, also that the only choice of Statesmen lies between these things being done by Convocation, or not done at all, while yet the necessity for doing them is absolute and incontestible— the most resolute stickler for a fettered church, or the wildest impugner of episcopacy will be constrained to yield. For that not distant period Churchmen may well be content to wai£4ithqoatience, taking good heedl in -the meantime to secure, an indisputable title to confi dence and approbation, by the zeal and energy, modera tion and chaiity, with which they prosecute their glorious work, notwithstanding the impedimeiiti to free iction which, in the course of a century and a half during the abeyance of convocation—have, from various causes, accumulated about them. At the very least there remains this consoling reflec tion, that the leaving the functions of Convocation' in abeyance is virtually a recognition of their existence, and the practical result is a continuance to the Church of the identical condition—in all essential points—in which her former Convocations left her : while there are many powers of deliberation and much useful action left, which do not require the sanction of the Crown, and with which the Government has shown no disposition to interfere. These, we firmly believe, may be so efficiently exercised as to constitute, after a time, a safe title to the , desired license, founded upon their utility and exemplary success. STANLEY'SDISCOURSE OF PARLIAMENT. (From the Dispatch.) It is said of Lord Stanley that, in speaking of the Earl of Derby, he is wont to observe, "Fur an orator and a genius of varied powers, my father is the most ignorant man I ever k new ." The son seems to have taken warning by the father's defects. He seizes upon hard facts—he analyses details—he patiently inquires his way through realities. He does nothing loosely. He is guilty of no easy assumptions or lazy admissions. He is really master of every subject of which he presumes to treat. We regard him as now a hope of his country. We think we see a Premier in him, schooling . his pre; judices in the academy of progress and reform, foresee ing that when his age has arrived at its point of leader capacity, the world will have shot far beyond the aver age of the thinking of the " ignorant present time." No thing can be clearer or better reasoned than his views on Church-rates. (We wish his votes on the whole Church question were more in unison with his professed principles.) Nothing could be abler in its way than his brochure advocating the wrong side of the question of the taxes on knowledge. His speech of last week is a model of its kind, and now we have to thank him for his letter on the subject of the sessions of Parliament. We wish, however, he had gone deeper into the range of thought which the topic suggests. It approaches the threshold of Adminis trative Reform. Why not take the le a p an d cross th e border ? The society, called into being by the loud man • date of public opinion to occupy that ground, if not pos sessed of quackery enough to advertise itself constantly to the public by what may he called a perpetual bustle of paragraphs and reports, has evidently made itself to be felt and heard. In every department of the Government may be seen a practical recognition of its principles, and substantial homage to its power and activity. ; and here in we recognise the elastic and mercurial vigour of Lerd Palmerston, who, at an age when men are slow to move and cantankerous with stupid prejudices, calling change peril and improvement empiricism, has yet a youthful sensitiveness to the signs of the times,. and a delicacy of touch alive to the movement of public opinion and willing to obey it. There is, perhaps, however, some foundation for the criticism made on the operations of the Administrative Reform Association, that they have begun at the wrong end of their subject, and have sought to improve the departmental details of Govern ment before addressing themselves to the reconstruction of the centre power from which all authority 'and rule must emanate. When one listens to the' 'speeches or reads the printed exponents of the views of the associa tion, the thought involuntarily rises to that surface of the mind which may be termed the silent utterance of ideas. " Well, but this is the proper business of the House of Commons—that institution alone is fitted by its functions and its means to command pfficial infor mation and enforce the necessary •changes. Why is there an association, but that the House of Commons does not duly execute its office ? If it do not, why not begin the work of reform there ?" We do riot here mean organio change— electoral reconstruction—an alteration in the elements of • the composition of Par liament. That is alarge separate question on which we have expressed strong opinions. • But we are now concerned in the consideration solely of the functional machinery of State-craft--of the working of, the .instru . ment, accepting it as it comes from the bands of the arti ficer. The House of Commons professes itself to be the public office or counting-house at which the business of the State is conducted. In spite of the early closing movement, it begins its work when other people have closed their shops and some sober and health loving citi zene are thinking of going to bed. The sun rises and sets„ the winter and summer come and go, at the same time now that they did in the reign of Elizabeth, 'when the Queen breakfasted at 6 o'clock in the morning, and was ra re ly out of bed after 9 p.m. In the morning the faculties are clearer, the passions colder, the pulse, less disturbed 'by meats and drinks, the physical sys tem more newly refreshed than at anTother period of the day. You then get the best state of. the human functions. Why not sit for three hours before breakfast t We will engage that 'three times as me& real work will be accomplished between 6 and 9 a.m. as in a week's flouedering through the present hours of Parliament. Conceive the state of a senator, after an -exciting debate and a factious division, 'crawling to his town lodgings at 3 or 4 o'clock on a winter's morning, with heated head and icy feet, attempting to win sleep to his pillow, to gain rest and refreshment for the renewed agitation of the a ljourned discussion of the coming night. Can we wonder that the work, operating an entire change of domestic habits upon all, makes serious, although, perhaps, unperceived, inroads on the constitution of the young, and absolutely kills off the aged in serious pro portionate numbers ? Buller stated too truly that the success of the opposition sometimes depended upon their having a balance of influenza in their favour. Uuder: the existing dispensation, the fate of legislation is really too often a question of physical endurance—the Toughest statesman becomes the most successful—while Pitt and Fox, at a comparatively early age, fell victims to the joint influence of unseasonable hours and unnecessary work: It is a - fact in regard to which we have very authentic information, that it has been already intimated to Government by a Very large number of the House of Commons that it is their firm resolution to retire from Parliament on ac- Ceunt of the oppression of its duties and the utter unsea sonableness of its seasons. It is very justly observed by Lord Stanley, moreover, that the times of the year at which Parliament sits are just those whicb are beet adapted to country life, and that it is really preposterous that the chief men in their various districts, ishotild pass the spring and summer in ,"populous city pent," while they are only enabled to escape to the country during winter—the proper season for a town life. So much for a Parliamentary season, the apologies for which we shall examine on a future occasion. At present we pro ceed to ask wherefore is it that the great inquest of the nation continues its sederunt through seven long months - of very long days and - nights ? It is seldom that above one or two measures of any real importance are matured and made law in a whole season, by the 658 units of the "colle c ti ve wisdom." The "Murder of the (Cabinet) Innocents duly takes place—three-fourths,. five-sixths, of the whole business of the session is rejection, suppression and utterly abortive activity. Why not purge.the minutes of all this trash—define the real business of the session at its commencement —address attention exclusively to that, and reduce the "much ado about nothing" to a reasonable compass of two or three months at most.? Parliament mistakes its func tions when it undertakes to govern as well as to ' delibe rate—to adniinieter and execute as well as to direct and to decide. Formerly i t s i mp l y re j ected or adopted the measures which always originated with the Crown. If it can govern better than Ministers we are ready to mallow the formula that stands in the way of that exercise of its 4 i functkns ; bufrit appeaes, daily ve be beepping a greiter " nuisance, a -less useful instrument ofgnoslkovertiinedt. 1 'mow-canit be otherwise ?Do the directomin the nke . , parlour; or- at the India-house, do their work dad; thj e making long speeches ? Could a large bankrupt es ate ever be wound up by the creditors and assignees striving- who could be the most eloquent, sarcastic, or witty ? Is it men of real business who rule the House of Commons I Notoriously the mere talkers manage to spent to them selves the whole powers of office, and to convert the constitution into a logomachy, or the monarchy :into a logo-archy. Might not the business be done in, one chamber, and the fine speeches delivered in another to all who chose to be inflicted with the flowers of Peace Society oratory, or the scintillations of Disraelitish wit, after they have. imbibed a sufficient quantity of bad port to enable them to sustain the operation ? Hew . pen the business of the State be satisfactorily conducted in Par liament when that of every private individual is in a greet measure drawn to the same officer Water, Jight;jag j \ ti - Pr r 7 • • f T I RE St3i LONDON, - WEDNESDAY EvENING, SEPTEMBER 5 1 5 5 cleansing for everylittle Peddlington or petty village must be settled by a "committee up stairs." The whole fore noons of all the members are occupied with railways, steam-boats, canals, gas, shipping companies, water com panies, private, provincial and parochial concerns o f ever y sort. Do the members of the Howe of Commons manage that department as well as a responsible Executive Go vernment would? Look at the results. While, on the Con tinent of Europe, without any Parliament at all the whole of the joint-stock-or large mercantile undertakings are cheaply started, honestly conducted, and remunerative, those of England find their subscribed capital eaten up with Parliamentary expenses for acts under which the working is so bad that none of them pay a dividend an swering to the fair expectations of profit, while most of them are a disaster, cheat, and swindle from beginning to end. These concerns, in fact, become a great source of Parliamentary corruption, and fill the Senate with sordid jobbers who bribe, or needy adventurers who are bribed, not to mention those dirty fellows in both houses who screw large prices out of companies for their land, houses, or other property, as a fee for not putting the promoters to the expense of an opposition. Nothing can be more obvious than that such work is tot the office of a deliberative assembly, but solely of an executive department, to be armed with the necessary functions. The whole of the private business of Parlia ment should at once be handed over to the Home De partment, the Board of Trade, and other institutions cognate to the particular work to be done. Let these departments be responsible to Parliament as "com mittees up stairs " are now, and thus a very large pro portion of the whole task now set to Parliament would be removed from its cognisance entirely. One effect of such a Change would be that that large class of jobbers who spend their money lavishly in bribing constituen cies to return them, in the view of getting it back with a handsome profit from Parliament in th shape of jobs, would trouble the national counsels no more • and that if we hid fewer contractors, Railway and 'joint Stock Company directors, Water and Gas Company chairmen, and "rising men at the bar" to assi-t us with " their wisdoms," we would also offer fewer attractions for cor ruption and self-seeking, and a better object of laudable ambition or disinterested patriotism to the honest, re flective, and high-minded citizen. The utter disrepute in which the very institution itself is held at present by the nation,, the distrust with which it is, regarded by the pdople, 4 -ana e , too well-fbunded reasons presented 'by its reeentmondnct for-the-worst exeeratiome of its greatest enemies, ought to.satisfy all who are desirens of - main taining the fabric of the State in the form of its existing architecture, that the Parliamentary form of govern ment can only sustain itself in being by a thorough re construction _.of its internal machinery. BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN LONDON. The returns of the metropolitan registrars continue to exhibit a rate of mortality which is not high for London at this period of the year. In the week that ended on Saturday the deaths from all causes registered were' 1,031, of which 559, or considerably more than a half, occurred under 20 years of age, 19 at 80 years, or above that age ; and the remainder occurred, in nearly equal numbers, in the three intermediate vicennial periods of life. Diseases of the zymotic character now greatly prepon derate in the aggregate of deaths ascribed to them ; they number 317, while the tubercular class (including scro fula, tabes mesenterica, phthisis, and hydrocephalus), which stands next in amount, numbers 192, diseases of the nervous system 117, and those of the respiratory organs have declined to 100. The increase in the first class arises entirely from diarrhoea, which, however, has pre sented this season no unusual result, and appears in the last two weeks to have offered a check. Darilices, was fatal in 134 cases last week, of which 111 occurred to infants less than two years old. Eighteen deaths are re turned variously as caused by cholera, English cholera, choleraic diarrhcea, infantile cholera. In one case the disease is described as "Asiatic," and is stated to have occurred without premonitory symptoms to a man who lived in Drummond-crescent, Somera-town, and died after 12 hours' illness. The house which be inhabited is reported to be in bad sanitary condition. In Bof the 18 cases enumerated the sufferers were adults, 20 years of age and upwards. In the corresponding week of 1849 the deaths from cholera were 1663 ; in that of last year they were 1287, and in the corresponding weeks of the fdur interveniog years the deaths were respectively 4, 28, 15, and 18. Two children in a family in Upper John street, Tottenham-court•road, died on the same day of small-pox. The death of a man, aged 51 years, was caused by hmmorrage from the gums during 5 or 6 days. A boy, aged 3 years, died from " convulsions caused by fright on seeing a dog by which he had been bitten a fortnight ago." Last week the births of 840 boys and 831 girls, in all 1,671 chilciren, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845.51 the average number was 1,393 At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.979 in. On Saturday its mean height was 30.112 in. The mean tem perature of the week was 61.4 deg., which is 2.1 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 year.% The highest temperature occurred on Tuesday, and was 79 deg. ; the lo west occurred on Thursday, and was 47.3 deg. The highest readings of a thermometer in the sun were 102 deg. and 104 deg., on Tuesday and Wednes day respectively. The mean dew-point temperature was 52.4 deg. ; and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 9 deg. Tie temperature of the water of the Thames was 65.8 deg. The wind was generally in the south-west on •the first four days ; on Saturday it was in the north-east. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

The wind was puffy from the northward and eastward, and the sail having jibbed one of the sons reached up the mast and attemped to clear it, when his weight overbalanced the dingy, which was of light draught, and she upset immediately.
