TBE BALTIC FLEET. (Front, the Times of this day.) The years 1854 and 1855 will be memorable in naval 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—that is, the Queen, Lords, Commons, Admiralty, and everybody of any consideration in the country,—presented to the Russian Archduchess, then sojourning among us, a spectacle of unparalleled magnificence in the shape of a naval re view, comprising man oeuvres , a genera l enga gement,tile and an action with gu n -b oa t s , pronounce d a t the time to be a very smart affai r . Th e or d er o f t h e d a y on that occasion was, that ever yb o d y s h ou ld b e li eve and pro nounce the British nation irresistible on her element true and, although it is ver y that the element most his te t pro pitiousrra- to us is no t th e on l y one th a t covers queeus globe, still it was h o p e d that with our- we had steam, our immense guns, a nd o ur portable ililpas pretty well go t over th e difficulty of a or shoal. We c anno t remem ber that at occasional shore that day or any other date there was the least grudging f of expense. On the contrary, w e are of opinion that the First Lord of the Admiralty, or the Commander of the Fleet, or any other man of weight had come big ships ; and if th e forward and said, " Thi s is all very well ; these are very enemy comes out you will be certain to give a good ac count off fhim ; but you still want the precise descripti on of craft to enter the shallow waters of inland seas, and mortars and guns of a range to stretch across them ;"—in that case the nation would have gladly thrown in its million or two for the purpose. W e believe that the Government, and every department of it, had a carte blanche for everything that might be 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 hand. Indeed, the nation never has grudged any necessary expenditure, or any expenditure for which even a decent case could be 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. Our gallant allies contributed two other fleets, thus making four fleets, besides innumerable transports —altogether the largest 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 Fine, and in the Black Sea confined ourselves to an ineffectual bombard. ment of Odes , a, 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 most open parts of the Baltic or the Black Sea, we were even better pre pared in 1855 than in 1854. But Russia, unfortunately, still 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, arid 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 engagements —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 still 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 for them ; but here is the list of ships in the Baltic, cor rected up to the 27th ult. :—Ten ships of the line—viz., Duke of Wellington, 130 ; Royal G eorge , 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 ; P em b ro k e, 60 ; Russ e ll, 60 ; Aj ax, 58 ; Edinburgh, 58 ; Euryalus, 50 ; Imperieuse, 50 • Arrogant, 47 ; A mp hi on, 3 4 ; Retribution, 28 ; Volage, 22 ; Cossack, 20 ; Esk, 20 ; Tartar, 20 ; Falcon, 17 ; Harier, 16 ; 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 Mediterranean, chiefly in the Black Sea :—Eight ships of the line—viz., Royal Albert, 121 ' • Queen, 116 ; St. J ean 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, 24 ; Sidon, 22 ; Highfb er, 21 • Ter rible, 21 ; Modeste, 18 ; Furio us , 16 ; O d i n, 16 ; 'Valo rous, 16, with 30 smaller vessels—making altogether 49. The sum total of the work done this year by these two immense fleets costing how much to work and to maintain them would be difficult to exaggerate, has been confined to keeping a very few Russian men-of-war in harbour, capturing some craft with fish, salt, and market goods, burning some stores of timber, fish, and corn, firing some towns and vill ages w i t h more or less success, and laying waste the arsenal and magazines of Swea borg. For every pennyworth of actual damage our fleets have done to the Russian army and navy we be 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 our estimate ; but we believe the proportion of damage done is as much as when a gentleman has a fight with a costermonger, and spoils 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 th a t t h e season is over, that nothing more is to be attempted, and that the Baltic fleet 15 coming home. This conclusion, indeed, was hastened, and a full month lost to the very brief season in the Baltic, by the fact that the fleet having very early re solved to stake everything on distant 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 -pi ece. Aa a 13-inch mortar costs, delivered, about 1251., it appears that the great Baltic fleet, the mere maintenance and pay of which, for the time it has been in the Baltic, has cost not less than 30,000/. a-day, ha s been ' brought to a standstill, reduced to utter impotence, and rendered a laughing-stock to the enemy, just for want of 2,5001., about as much as a man of taste in these days gives for three early Svres vases. Not to go further back and exhume the errors of past Ministries, it is now consi derably more than half a year since the Ordnance was handed over to Lord Panmure, and he appointed his own Storekeeper. We conclude that Sir Charles Wood had then only to state what he was likely to want, and the Storekeeper would have taken care to have a supply ready for him. Between that day and this it would have been possible to obtain 500 13-inch mortars pro perly cast and bored, and deposited on any spot in the hands of the allies, or delivered at any longitude or lati tude in the Black Sea or in the Baltic. Yet, for the want of 2,5001. worth of iron, we have cut short our Baltic season by at least a quarter. So the season of 1855 is now consigned to the same limbo as the season of 1854. We are to be patient, and look to the season of 1856. We will be patient ; but we must, nevertheless, take the liberty of looking forwards. Is there any head in the Ministry who can imagine the possibility of the fleets in the two seas doing any thing next year, and having, 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 those provident and cal culating powers be set to work at once, while there is abundance of time ; let his estimates be checked by the authorities concerned ; and let not October 1 pass with out all the orders being given and the contracts made. If, as our correspondent at Kiel intimates, the cast iron of this country is very bad, and therefore it is that our mortars have failed, let some provision be made against this, either by better iron or more mortars. Let us have the 200 gun and mortar-boats promised by Sir Charles Wood, 100 for each sea, and relays when wanted. Let us have treble of everything that is found by expe rience absolutely necessary, and that will have to stand the brunt of the war. As for the big ships, it is clear we have the order e of the day.nough of them. N um b er, not magnitude, is RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

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 Grey —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 feeling 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 befora 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 wait with patience, taking good heed in the meantime to secure an indisputable title to confi dence and approbation, by the zeal and energy, modera tion and charity, with which they prosecute their glorious work, notwithstanding the impediments to free action which, in the course of a century and a half—during the abeyance of convocation—have, from various cause?, accumulated about them. At the ♦ery 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. STAIVLEY'SDISCOUI?SE OF PARLIAMENT, cleansing for every little Peddlington or petty village must be settled by a, "committee up stairs," The whole fere peons of all the members ar e occu pi e d w ith ra il w ays, steam-boats, canals, gas, shipping companies, water com panies, private, provincial and parochial conce:ns of every sort. Do the members of the H.‘use of Commons manage that department as well as a responsible Executive Go verntuent 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 Lot 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 /Thrtion 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 the shape of jobs, would trouble the national counsels no more ; and that if we had fewer contractors, Railway and Jokt 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 people, and the too well-founded reasons presented by its recent conduct for the worst execrations of its greatest enemies, ought to satisfy all who are desirous 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.

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 saection, 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 e x pects that body to take in its dealings with other councils 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 t ang ibl e 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 ?" 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. Wh a t i s more, we can discussit 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 church-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 hie 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 inlividual rate payer might appeal against it. But in any case the Quarter Sessions were to 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 objectio n t o i t now, and which it would have to encounter in lintine. 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 183•, 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 any doubt tbat by common law the parishioners were liable for 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 quarter of a century on a rejected offer ; there is the ignorance of supposing that an offer to carry out a law is still available when the law is found to be io law. After 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 bas a right to refuse paying the rate, which thus becomes a mere voluntary subscrip tion. Even where the ♦estry 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 the most off-hand way possible, to takeaway this right, to make the majority powerless against the churchwarden, backed by the Quar ter Sessions, to render the individual parishioner liable to pay a rate 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 against the law of the land. This is what the commit tee of Convocation proposes, as if it were just proposing nothing at all. Could we suppose the scheme sanctioned by the Legislature, all the ratepayers of Manchester, of St. Pancras, and many other places where Church-rates either never were levied, or are now out of date, would be liable to pay them at the order of the Quarter Sessions. We will not speculate on the inevitable results of such a change, but we will venture to say that there never was imagined so offectual a scheme for extinguish ing church-rates altogether, and a good deal besiies. We do not happen to know, and do not wish to know, who were the members of the committee which signalised itself by this notable project. We will, however, sug gest to Convocation to try some new hands the next time they select an important committee, unless they would lose not only the shadow of deliberative, or rather sug gestive, power they now enjoy, but even the fond inte rest with which a section of the churoh still cherishes their fitful and ineffective existence. ( From the Morning Pool, ) Our readers are doubtless aware that a petition has been 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 the proper constitutional formula, her Majesty's license to deliberate upon a canon for that purpose. The prayer of this petition has not been granted. The correspondence upon the subject between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Home Secretary is now before us, and exhibits clearly what it was that Convocation requested, though it furnishes no clue to the reasons for the refusal. The petition states that certain subjects deeply concern the spiritual welfare of this realm. Of these, it enumerates four, namely, " the measures needful for enforcing discipline amongst the clergy : the extension of the Church : the modifica tion of her services : and 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 clergy of that house may be, there are faults in the relation be tween themand their constituenta which demand remedy, I and which, until they are remedied, must greatly detract from the confidence of the clergy in the proceedings of that portion of the Convocation. The first step, then, is the amendment of this represen tation. Till that is done, all effective deliberation must remain in abeyance. The Houses may discuss ques .tions, and communicate one with the other, and so pre pare the public mind for synodical proceedings at some future period, and may train a number of clergymen to the duties of synodal debate ; but this is all that can be done, nothing which they may recommend will have authority, or carry consequences, unless the structure of the Lower House be first completed. This recon struction cannot be achieved without a canon, a canon cannot be concocted without a royal license, and a royal li ce nse cannot be had witho u t th e advice and consent of Sir George Grey. This Sir George Grey will not give, and so the Church is left to stand still and wait for bet ter times, and while hd e more to c n o n o t s i i e d e er t a h t e e H p o o s m i t i e o S n e t c a r k e t e a n r y .

But it is only a question of time. The Church cannot stand still. She is carried forward by the active spirit of the age, and must work or cease to hold her o wn. She cannot work in any efficient way with her hands tied. Statesmen, therefore, who wish to see her (From the Dispatch.) It is said of Lord Stanley that, in saeaking of the Earl of Derby, h e i s wont to observe, Wor an orator and a genius of varied powers, my father is the most ignorant man I ever knew." 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 bad gone deeper into the range of thought which the topic suggests. It approaches the threshold of Adminis trative Reform. Why not take the leap and cross the border ? The society, called into being by Vas, 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 znd 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 Lord Palmerston, who, at an age when men are slow to move and cantankerous with stupid prejudices, calling ehange 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 en d o f 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. " Weil, but this is the proper business of the House of Commons—that institution alone is fitted by its functions and its means to command official 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 not here mean organic change— electoral reconstruction—an alteration in the elements of the composition of Par liament. That is a large 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 hands of the arti ficer. Toe 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 zens 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 rarely 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 any other period of the day. You then get the best state of the human functions. Why not sit for three hours before breakfast ? We will engage that three times as much real work will be accomplished between 6 and 9 a.m. as in a week's floundering 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 adjourned 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. Under 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 crunt 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 site are just those which are best adapted to country life, and that it is really preposterous that the chief men in their vari -us districts should 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 " collective 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 administer and execute as well as to direct and to decide. Formerly it simply rejected or adopted the measures which always originated with the Crown. If it can govern better than Ministers we are ready to swallow the formula that stands in the way of that exercise of its functions ; but it appears daily to be becoming a greater nuisance, a less useful instrument of good government. How can it be otherwise! Do the directors in:the Bank parlour, or at the India-house, do their work daily by making long speeches ? Could a large bankrupt estate ever be wound up by the creditors and assignees striving who could be the most eloquent, sarcastic, or witty ? Is it men of real busicess who rule the House of Commons Notoriously the mere talkers manage to spout 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, sufficient operation quantity ? How can h of bad port te taofteernatbhleeythhaevme to omsbuibsed a the sustain business of the State be satisfactorily conducted in Par- liawent when that of every private individual is in a great measure drawn to the same office ? 'Water, lighting, 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 5 59, 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 theta ; 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 diarrhcea, which, however, has pre sented this season no unusual result, and appears in the last two weeks to have suffered a check. Darrhcea was fatal in 134 cases last week, of which 111 occurred to inf,..nts less than two years old. Eighteen deaths are re turned variously as caused by cholera, English cholera, choleraic diarrhoea, 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, Somere.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 four intervening 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 hieinorrage 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 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845.54 the average number was 1,393. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.979 in. O❑ Saturday its mean height was 30.112 in. The mean tem perature of the week was 61.4 dig., which is 2.1 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The highest temperature occurred on Tuesday, and was 79 deg. ; the lowe , t 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. Tue 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.

During the voyage the Ripon spoke, on the 27th ult., the Eng lish barque Dorothea, bound east ; on the 30th, spoke the screw-transport No. 70, bound south ; and on the 2d inst. passed the English ship Bessy, steering south. A fatal boat accident occurred in Plymouth Sound on Monday evening. Air. Douglas Dent, storekeeper of her Majesty's dockyard ix Devonport, was cruizing in his dingy under canvas near Lady Emma's cottage, Mount Edgeoumbe, where the flood tid• runs between the rocks with great swiftness and with occasional irregularity ; he was accompanied by his two sons, Mr. Albert Dent, lieutenant in the Royal Navy, recently returned from the West Indies, and Mr. Digby Dent, clerk in the Devon , port dockyard. 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. The accident was observed by a large number of pleasure seekers on the grounds of Mount Edgecumbe, and these persons hailed several boats, which, however, were unfor tunately at such a distance as not to arrive before Mr. Dent bad sunk, and his sons did not recover un til some time after they were picked up. A seaman recovered Mr. Dent's body by diving. The boats from the Implacable, 72, Captain Arthur Lowe, at anchor under the breakwater, were early in attendance. The hired screw steam - s hip Australia, which l e ft Wool wich on S un d ay morning w i t h s h o t an d s h e ll f or the Crimea, was off Plymouth, all well, on Monday. The screw steamer Great Britain sailed yesterday from Liverpool for Balaklava with upwards of 1,000 troops, a large number of 13-inch shell, and a consider able number of huts on board. THE MILITIA.
