GENTLZMEN,-11though a very large proportion of those who in tend to vote for me have not yet recorded their votes, I do not think that I should be justified in prolonging the contest, merely for the sake of diminishing the present large majority against me. Could I feel certain that my opponent had nearly exhausted his strength, my course would be more difficult to decide upon. But there are to my mind, :and in the opinion of my friends, clear proofs that a reserve rein SIDS, sufficient, together with the present majority, to overpower the numbers upon which we could still reckon. The polling cannot be extended into another week without serious inconvenience to the University and to individuals ; and since it could not be so extended with a reasonable prospect of success, I feel it my clear duty to retire. In taking this step I cannot refrain from tendering to Mr. Walpole, and great numbers of his supperters, my sincere thanks for the very kind and flattering manner in which they have expressed themselves towards me, and for the great courtesy they have shown. I believe that no contested election has ever been conducted with more mu tual personal respect between the rival candidates, or with less acri mony on the part of their supporters. It only temains tor me to express my hea-tfelt thanks to that large number of your body who, having thought me worthy of represent ing you in Parliament, have exerted themselves in my bekalf with the most generous zeal and devotion. It will be to the a subject of pride and gratitude to the last hour of my life that I have been honoured by the support of so many of your body, including not a few of the most distinguished names that have been recorded in the annals of Cambridge. Trusting, gentlemen, that the choice which has been made will hereafter fully justify the Confidence of those of you who made it, and, with every Wish for the prosperity of the University and all belonging to it, I am, yours faithfully, GEORGE DENMAN.

The destruction ,of the docks will, it is folly expected, be completed this week. Only one of them, the western most, still partly retains its original aspect ; the ethers are mere chasms, partially filed with ruins. Although to most persons the general aspect of these docks has probably become well known from descriptions and drawings, I will briefly - explain their position and ar rangement. , They extend nearly due north and south (a little to the east of north and west of south), and consist of three inner docks, a basin, and two outer docks, with a lock between them. The French undertook the de struction of the outer docks the lock, an d t h e nort h ern half of the basin ; the English that of the inner docks and the southern half of the basin. The lock, although capacious, was easier to destroy than a dock, its circum ference being a plain stone wall, instead of heavy stone steps fit for a giant's staircase.' The French have done their share of the worlvery,effectually, and I see nothing that, remains for them to destroy.. For various reasons the English works were more gradual in their pro gress, but have net been less thoronghly carried out, and, if a non-professional, but highly-interested observer may express an opinion, they do great credit to the scientific skill of the engineers to whom they were intrusted. I believe the first idea was to blow up the whole at once, which would probably hake gives a more picturesque andi to appearauce' more tborough ruin. But this plan was abandoned by reason of the dampness of the ground. Water flowed in from the ravine in rear of the docks, and - rose in the shafts of the mines. It is probable that, had the engineers waited to explode the numerous mines until all of them were come plete, the powder would have becomell esu p i n many o f them and would-not haVe ignite& rIK it was reiiolred to blow up a little at a time. Ais difficult-for any one whits has not seen these *d i tscks looth befola and - since their destruction fully to appreciate the magnitude of the ope rations and the force that• must have been applied to root up and utterly overthrow such massive construc tions, such huge blocks of granite so firmly cemented, such mighty timbers, which lie snapped asunder like reeds or rent into huge splinter , . A stroll about the environs of Sebastopol, and the sight of the enormous cannon-balls and fragments of monster shells that strew the ground in all directions, impress one with a respect ful idea of the power of powder ; but the respect is vastly increased by a view of the havoc it has played in such stupendous works as the docks—structures formed to last for ages, and to the duration of which no limit could be assigned. The difficulty of destruction was enhanced in the case of the docks allotted to the English by the fact that these were in part hewn out of solid lock. The basin thus formed was lined with huge masses of stone, and between rock and stone earth was filled in. The engineers availed themselves of the soft interval for their mines, and blew the walls and counter forts inwards, but the rock remains, marking in pl aces the outline of the docks. The counterforts were of pro digious strength and thickness. Then there was a deep covered drain outside the docks, for the purpose of emptying them when desired, of which the engineers, of course, mode use. Greatly incommoded at first by the water that flowed down the ravine in their rear, they overcame this difficulty at no small expense of labour. Their mode of operating against the docks varied accird ing to circumstances, but seems to have consisted in great measure of regular mines, with shaft and gallery. Two of these shafts, down which I yesterday looked, are about 30 feet deep. They are situated one on each side of the weetern dock, and in one of them, which is at about 50 feet from its entrance (between it and 'the-centre dock), an unfortunate accident occurred on Saturday 'last. The engineers had blown up tit) eastern pier, or extremity of that side of tae dock, to which a gate is attached —ono of the jaws of the dock, as I may say, which are closed by the gates ; and this explosion seems to have been as complete in its effect as any that have taken place. The huge mass was lifted up and dislocated, and the enormous transverse beams, masses of black timber of incalculable strength, were torn from their fastenings, snapped in twain, and remained with their splintered ends resting against each other, in the shape of a house roof. Below the pointed- arch thus formed is a black chasm, and heaped around are piles of displaced stone and dusty rags. Everything is removed and riven without being scattered ; and this is the obj have at which our engineers have constantly aimed. They have sought all along, and general;y with much succesp, so to pro portion the charges of their mines that, while every thing should be overturned, rooted out, and thrown into the utmost confusion (literally topsytnrvy), as little as possible should be thrown out of the crater. And ac cordingly most of their explosions have not had the ap pearance which would popularly be anticipated from the letting off of two, three, or more thousand pounds of powder. There was no diverging gush of stones, but a sort of rumbling convulsion of the ground ; a few blocks and fragments' were cast up to a mo derate height, but the effect upon the spectator was that of some gigantic - subterranean hand just pushing the masses a short distance out of their places, turning them upside down, and rolling them over each other in 8 eiOUti - Or ' lsMtdarandk- duet', Then were probably two reasons for the earn with which the engineers measured theie ehaiiite. One may lie that by' i r d u at i nr n dt s 4 left t o i y ft ht b he e e q yc ti . h e a s ac a t s h i tn I. a se r h e: n o r mt d hp e ea r r 8 a f t task ee i l y t i n o i : a l ge n : y r f. a f r u t The and h re e leaving the docks encumbered and filled up with their own r w e b d i e i i , second reason may be that by more violent explosions Vey would probably have shaken down buildings, over thrown the dockyard wall (which already totters and loses stones from its summit when a mine is let off), and perhaps have caused accidents. As it is, these operations have been the occasion of extremely little loss of life or injury to limb. The Russians have fired a great deal at times, but their shots have not told, and, although their fire has been occasionally accurate enough, shell after shell falling into the docks, at others they have made very bad practice, shells intended for the inner docks, falling near the shears, or in other directions wide of the mark. A couple of men of the 18th Regiment were killed, .a Sapper war, wounded a few days ago, not very severely, and I think there have been one or two other men hurt. Of accidents occurring from ,the explosions I have heard of none, except the one on Saturday last, re ferred to above, and which was of a particular nature. The explosion by the dock-gate had taken place, and some Sappers were busy at the bottom of a shaft 40 or 50 feet off, when a noxious gas generated by the explosion entered the gallery, filtering through the in tervening earth. The effect was gradual —one after an• other the men became giddy, and some of them insen sible. With infinitealacrity and courage noncommissioned officers and soldiers descended the shaft, braving a dan ger which seemed the greater because its extent and nature were unknown, to succour their comrades, and as they got down they in turn were overpowered by the offensive' gas. Major Nicholson and Lieut. Graham also went down, and suffered in consequence, The former was insensible, when, supported by his men, he reached the top of the shaft, and it was some time before be re covered. To sum up . the accident ; one man perished, and 7 or 8 were seriously affected, but have since re covered, A man went down into the mine, after the ac cident ; one,man perished, and 7 or 8 were seriously effected, but have since recovered. A man went down into the mine, after the accident; holding in his mouth the extremity of a tube doyen which air was pumped to him, and he walked about with perfect impunity and collected the men's caps and things they had left ,behind. The man who died was a soldier of the 4811 Regt. Two surgeons were on the spot, and tried every means to re cover him, but in vain. The destruction of the far-famed docks of Sebastopol, which has been for some weeks in pro gress , and is now on the point of termination, is an event in the annals of military engineering. A regulary diary of the opera tions has been kept by the officers engaged, and this, should it ever be published, cannot fail to be most inter esting. War has stern necessities , but there is some thing lamentable in seeing such great and magnificent works as these 'docks were thus pitilessly destroyed. All that yesterday afternoon remained (worthy of mention) was the walls of the western dock, and their fragments ; before the week is out these will be added to the mass of rubbish. It may give some idea of the labour neces sary to reconstruct these docks to say that, aft e r clear ing away the ponderous ruins , it would be necessary to dig down some 20 feet belowthe original,bottom—so much has the earth been disturbed by the successive ex plosions—to drive piles and use concrete, and form an entirely new foundation. The French explosion I men tioned in a recent letter as having been effected by sink ing in the water a huge iron vessel full of powder was intended to destroy the bottom at one of the entrances, and appears to have succeeded better than was sup posed, a chasm eight feet deep having been ascertained by sounding. The works of our engineers have been very successful and creditable to their skill and fore sight. Few mines, out of the large number that have been fired, failed to explode. The strong report of im mediate peace that prevailed the other day caused the works to be accelerated by every'possible means, and I understand that there was then a failure or tw o . Th e operations must have been replete with valuable expe rience to the officers engaged in them, In yesterday's General Orders it was announced that money-orders, payable at ail-post towns in the United Kingdom for sums not exceeding 51., will henceforward be issued at head-quarters post-office on Mondays and Fridays, and at Balaklava on Wednesdays and Satur days, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is an excellent measure, and can hardly fail to ten d to the diminution of drunkenness, which, although not 50 rife as in autumn, is still far too prevalent, especially on Sundays. Mr. E. T. Smith, chief postmaster at,Constantinople, has arriv ed here to superintend the arrangement, and be preser It at the opening of the money-order offices. The vreather has been fine since my last, and the camp is rapidly drying under the influence of sun and of r ;ether a high wind. Yesterday was a cloudless and lov ply day, worthy of the month of May, and as there was little duty to do (it being Sunday), and as the ground was in an improved state for riding and walking, the country was covered with ramblers of all ranks. Innumerable groups of officers rode into Sebastopol after church service, and a stream of soldiers, sailors from Balakf ava, Army Works Corps men, and all manner of ,11900 cripte, on foot and on Ilereebaok, flOiTell in the same direction. The Russians were quiet till about 2 o'clock or somewhat later ; about that time there was a flag of truce in the harbour (these are frequent now, chiefly for the exchange of prisoners' letters),. and.as soon as that was over and the flag down a shell came singing across to the English part of the town, pitching and exploding a little beyond the south-eastent corner of the dockyard. Subsequently to this the enemy, tempted, doubtless, by the number of visitors they must hare discovered, threw in several shells. , Coming is from Sebastopol, over Picket-house-hill, the camp had quite a homely and Snug appearance, as it lay bask ing lazily in the Sabbath sunshine, its numerous 'amok ing chimneys telling of Sunday dinners in preparation; . and one eonld hardly fancy that, if all we hear be true, in a few weeks' or mouths' time this extensive military city will have disappeared from the earth's stir face! leaving a blackened and ashes-strewn desert. A Itbouvh the views of Russia's acceptance of the ultima tum appears positive, and is confirmed by rectent letters received in camp from Constantinople, a reaction has taken place in the military mind, and doubt is cast upon that which, a very few days ago, obtained almost uni versal credence. In many cases the wish, perhaps, is father to the doubt, for there are many hero to -whcim peace is unwelcome. That there is a etreno- probability of its being made is evident 'from the fact of a commis sariat officer hay ng been sent off to suspend 'centracts and stop supp les in Constantinople, Malta, and Italy, and to make such arrangements as plainly indicate an expectation that hostilities. are drawing to a close. If peace be made, how long shall we be gettisig nway front this is a question one hears continually asked .and replied to by various conjectures. A. great deal will of course depend "on the .amount of shipping that can he supplied. I understand that the Qeartermaster- General's people say it would take a year to g;et men, materiel, and stores .of all kinds away, and to clear the English army and its appurtenances entirely out of the Crimea and Turkey., Probably this is rather an ex aggerated estiancta.of time re %fly neeevitvey;; and yet, bearing in mind the immense quantity of things that will have to be removed, one eta hardly pronounce itso. The horses alone will - require a vast deal of shipping. Officers whose rank.and position in the service entitle them to horses can hardly be refused permission to take them home, or be fairly compelled . (unless compensation be given) to sell the animals here, where the glut would render them unsaleable. It is to be expected that huts, furniture, and all sorts of household property will be condemned to the flames. I should not suppose that many persons will be very solicitous to take home Cri mean beds, unless it be as a pleasing memento of vora cious fleas and blankets of questionable cleanliness. But, however much baggage may be cut down, and superfluities not worth the carriage consi g ned to the flames, the departure of the British army from the East will be sucha flitting as has rarely if ever been witnessed. JAN. 29. The weather continues fine. The Russians fired rather briskly last night. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 10.—The United States' mail steam ship Hermann, Capt. Higgins, with dates to the 26th ult., arrived at this port this morning en route from New York for Bremen. There were on board about 50 passengers, 15 of whom have landed at Southampton, and the usual cargo if English' merchandise. The Hermann, after coaling, will proceed to Bremen to-morrow. The mail steam-ship Baltic, from Liverpool for New York, arrived out on the morning of t►,e 24th ult. The Washington, from Southampton, reached New York on the 21st ult. Congress was still without a Speaker. The last ballot was, Banks, 91 ; Richardson, 67 ; Fuller, 29; Gimpbells ; Pennington, Shorter, and Porter one each. The number necessary to a choice was 98. In the House of Representatives Mr. Boyce offered a resolution to the effect that as the relations with Great Britain were of the most threatening character, indicating the eve of most startling events, it was the imperative duty of the House, at such a juncture of peril, to organise itself by the election of a Speaker. Mr. Stephens, in reply; said, that if the country was on the eve of war he knew nothing about it. The motiri was tabled. The President had communicated to the Senate the following letter from , Mord J. Russell to Mr. Crampton respecting the Central American ques tion. The subject was to be discussed in the. &nate on the 27th of January : " London, Jan. 19, 1853. "Sr,i —ln treating of the affairs of Mosquito, I must in the first place refer you to the despatch of Lnrd Malmeslsury of the 6th of July, 1852, upon this subject. It is evident that since Great Britain first assumed the protection and defence of the. Mosquito Indians, the position of all parties has changed. " 1. Spain, instead of exercising absolute sovereignty over Central America, and prohibiting all commerce on the coasts under her sway, has entirely lost her domi• nion over the continent from Cape Mtn to47llnide.. • "2. The Mosquito Indians, Instead of gpverning their own tribe according to their own customs, furnish a name and title to Europeans and Americans, who carry on trade at Greytown and along the coast of Mos quito, according to the usages of civilised nations. " 3. Great Britain, instead of having an interest in the defence of the Mosquito _lndians, for the rake t f rescuing part of the territory of Central America from Spanish control, and obtaining an authority for le r commerce, has no other interest is Mosquito than that which is derived from an honourable regard for her old connection with the Indian nation of Mosquito. " Her Majesty's Government has for several years en deaveured to suit her engagements to the altered circum stances of the case; but every proposal that has le eft made with this view has encountered some insuperable obstacle. The contentions in Central. America between Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and' Honduras ; the absence of any authority with which any permanent agreement could be made ; unfounded jealousies of Great Britain, and various other circumstances, have prevented the settlement of this vexations question. "In conformity with the opinions stated in Lord Malmesbury's despatch of July 16, to which I have al ready referred, I hive to state that the Committee of .Government at Greytown are, in fact, the real power that exercises authority in that part of Central America. To her Majesty's Government it would be a matter of indifference whether that authority was exercised in the name of the King of Mosquito or in the name of Grey town itself. But it is desirable that what is apparent should be made to conform as far . as possible with what is real. ' What is apparent is that the King of Mosquito exercises sovereignty over Greytown. What is real is, that he had no authority there whatever, but that the committee of Europeans and Americans carry on the Government at that port. " What her Majesty's Government, therefore, should consider a good-and float arrangement would be—first, that Greytown should be a free and independent port, connected with Mosquito by sitch relations of friendship and alliance as may be agreed upon. Second, that indem nification, or advantages equivalent to those laid down in the project of convention of the 13th of April, 1852, shall be assured to Mosquito in return for its witb4r twat front 'Ai present position , with regard to Greytos a. Third, that Great Britain aud .the United States, with out guarinteeing Greytown, should be ready to act in con cert to defend the independence of the free city or port of Greytown from whatever quarter it might be attacked. What is essential and of immediate importance is, that the authorities of Greytown should be ready to assume either unqualified independence, with an engagement to defend Mosquito, or qualified independence, owing alle giance and support to Mosquito. For this purpose some person qualified to treat should proceed at once to Grey town. Whether a naval officer of her Majesty's service or a civil one would be a fitter person to• be intrusted with this mission, I must leave you to decide. • It would be desirable if the Government of the United States should concur in those views, that a new convention, in place of the unaccepted project of agreement of April, 1852, should be proposed and concluded, and that a person similarly qualified should be sent by this Governraeat at the same time and for the same object. • " I have only further to say that indemnity to Mos quito might possibly not be made in money, but in greater security, for certain fixed territory within which tbe free port .of < Greytown, assisted, by her Majesty's ships of war, might manage to defend the Mosquito nation. The Governor-General of Canada and autho rities in other of her. Majesty's North American posses sions have made from time to time agreements somewhat similar. The President of the Unitedetates has frequently made conventions with the Indians to. the like effect. The peculiarity of this base is that certain neighbouring States deny.altogether the intlepepdence. of Mosquito, and the Mosquito nation are liable every day to new incur sions upon their territory. We can make no complete provision against this danger. Our policy is to do all that honour and humanity require in behalf of the Mosquito nation. But we ietend to adhere strictly to, the treaty at Washington of the,l9th of April, 1850, and not to , assume a ny sovereignty, either direct or indirect, in Central America. "J. RUSSELL."

'The news from the mines is of an , encouraging nature, and new rich , diggings have been discovered on the American river. The San Francisco markets were dull, the demancL from the interior being light. In dour and grain the transactions were to a limited ex tent.

Shipping business was more active." In the New York Money-market money was in good demand, and the turn of the market was in favour of the lender. Foreign exchange was irre gular, but the tendency of th 4 market was toward firmer rates.

But amidst all this parade of antagoni ~at was .1 impossible to discover the precise ground on which j. the opponents of the step intended to give battle. Or as lawyers would say, they never defined the points whereon they could venture to "join issue." In fact, they seeni to have'had nothing like a clear notion of such a point themselves, or at all events no sincere Wish to arrive at it. They argued like suitors, who feel that if once their " case' shall be accurately defined, judgment must at once go against them. Accordingly they threw up a cloud of indistinct and incoherent objections, merely with the view of making out something that should look like an excuse for referring the ques tion to the of Privileges. Beyond this tlieydicl Committee notventire to look. What points the Committee of Privileges could have to examine— what process it could initiate —what evidence it could command—or what power it possessed of giving its .decision any. practical efficacy, they never dreamt, of inquiring. Lord Brougham, in winding up the debate, confessed this " lame and impotent conclusion," when- he pleaded that by adopting the motion for reference, their lordships affirthed nothing more than an opinion that the subject required further investigation. Under that impression the vote was, carried, and from what passed in the house on Friday evening, it appears that the victors are already becoming frightened at the possible censequonces of thek own success. The legal issue which the Opposition had in volved in such elaborate obscurity was defined by the Lord Chancellor with inexorable distinctness. It was, lie said, nothing more nor less than tlris " Whether the House of Peers had a right to de cide that a patent granted by the Crown was or was not valid t" From this position there is no retreating. What is the attitude thus assumed by the House ? Here is a single estate of the realm —every one of whose members owe their place in the Legislature to the swill, and summons of the s Crown, : and many of whOin derive their titles from . patents under the Great Seal, in whicli the lines of 'descent were extended; limited, or varied in almost every_ s possible way from the customary mode of inheritance—absolutely taking upon itself, and by its single suffrage, te question, or perhaps to cancer, the royal grants, to whose authority its own existence is due. Some Peers, no doubt, there are who date their nobility from times an terior to the issue of letters patent, and who may, therefore, lay claim to a more independent place and. title. But, at all events, it is absurd that Peers by patent—who constitute the far larger ma jority of the Upper House—should arrogate to themselves the right of criticising and deter mining the validity of patents. In this case, it is not a question of natural right, but of arti ficial privilege.- -An assembly of freemen may be fully entitled to discuss and arrange the condi tions under which freedom shall be enjoyed, be cause. it' is the inherent right Of .men to be free. The Peeks, on the other hand, exercise functions and enjoy privileges which do not come to them of natural right, abut by gift .froni some authority e confesso superior to their own. The granter of privileges must, in the very nature of things, be higher than the granteeat any rate, in so far as the power of granting such privileges is concerned. How, then, can the inferior body pretend to ad judicate upon the acts of the superior—or the created to criticise the terms and tenour of their creation? • - - This, however, as the Lord Chancellor pre ceeded to show, is not all. Peernenjoy privileges, and hold a status elsewhere, than in their own peculiar House. Even supposing that their Lord ships, by a vote of the Committee of Privileges or in any other mode, should decide that LordWensley dale could not take his seat, how is that decision to operate upon his standing and relationships else where Asallaron he will have a certain place allotted to him on all occasions, when the magnate of the land mine into the Sovereign's presence— he will take a certain precedence in all public cere monials—he will enjoy immunity from legal pro cess against his person—he will be entitled to claim trial from his peers if indicted before a criminal tribunal. In these, and many other cases which may ari4e, or which would inevitably be contrived. if only for the pm•pose Of deciding the question, the House of Lords must set itself iu antagonism to the Crown, the judges, and the public generally. The peers are thus committed to a conflict of autho rity, which will, in great measure, be carried on in regions wholly inaccessible to themselves. Barons Lyndhurst, St. Leonards, and Campbell may per suade the Committee of Privileges to decide that Sir -J. Parke has no right under his patent to sit in the House of Lords. But what will they do, when they find him placed beside them selves as a Baron, in some Royal procession ; or wlies, by some decision of the Law Courts, they find themselves' called upon to sit in judgment on a case in which ho, as a Peer,' has demanded to be tried by his Peers ? Col isiona like these are in evitable from the vote of Thursday night, unless, indeed, some means of escape can be discovered by a species of compromise. Yet it is not too much to say, that the. Upper Branch of the Legislature would lose more prestige, would incur more danger, and sacrifice more dignity from one such conflict, than if a hundred life-peers were seated in a batch upon its benches. The apprehension of a calamity like this we have just mentioned constitutes, indeed, the chief ground for terror and opposition on part of their lord ships. They dread lest the independence of the He reditary House should be "swamped" by an irrup tion of Peers nominated by the Minister of the day, and holding their titles by a life tenure. In former ages a similar fear prevailed from other sources. At the Union with Scotland, the English House of Lords were terrified at the prospect of a large infusion of Scotch peers, who, for the most part, were equally distinguished fer their antiquity and their poverty, and to whom it was believed the Court could always resort as a sure expedient of manufacturing a majority. To this apprehen sion must be attributed, the resistance exhibited against the English peerage conferred by Queen Anne upen the Duke of rhinilton, so trium bantly2 but, as the Lord Chancell o r p rove d, so I) erroneously, cited by Lord St. Leonards. When the Union with Ireland was accomplished, a si milar dread revived—rendered more acute by the circumstance that for the purpose of carrying the act the Irish House" of Peers had been swelled by a flood of new creations. In this case, by a formal statute, the Crowu consented to limit its prerogative, and undertook that three peerages should lapse for every new title 'conferred in Ire land. But the power to create British Peers is wholly unlimited by law. Lord Lyndhurst recognised the full right of the Crown io send a whole regiment of the Guards into the House of Lords if it thought proper. Legal and cotiiititutional competence is already enjoyed by the Sovereign to "swamp" the House to any extent, even without resorting to the device oflife peerages. Its preservation from such aca taclysm rests, says the Lord Chancellor, not in legal technicalities, notin the Coinmitteeof Privileges, but in more powerful influences. " The checkwh ich would now prevent the Government from creating an improper number of peernwas to be found, not in the absence of the power of granting peerages for life, but in the wholesome ever-acting control of public opinion, which would render it , as impossible to adopt any step of that kind, as it would be to ennoble all the regiments of the Guards." Justly, therefore, was the Lord Chancellor entitled to con clude, that no reasonable objections could be urged against the exercise of a prerogati ve which W as only to be used, with the view of augmenting the dignity and usetulness of the House of Lords.

TEE WENSLEYDAtir PEERAGE. The Lord Chancellor nobly *indicated his title to be ranked amongst the highest practical States men, as well as among the soundest lawyers of the age, during the recent elaborate discussions in the House of Lords respecting the Wensleydale Peer age. Throughout the debate there was no speech more remarkable, alike foi closeness of reasoning and comprehensiveness of view than that of Lord Cranworth. Much talent and research were no doubt displayed by , many speakers on both sides. The subject was, indeed, one well calculated •to elicit the utmost power and highest eloquence of the noble assembly. For while appealing to the personal interests of the peers in .the strongest manner, it also allowed the fullest scope for the subtle ingenuity of the legist, and the far-reaching previsions of the constitutional Statesman. In the address of the Noble Lord who now occupies the woolsack, both qualities were combined m their highest development. For legal acumen, histori cal research, and . for sound political argument of peerages theragwere Government, presented the a n g ua the grandest order, his lordship's speech on this occasion will long stand unrivalled. s e and incoherent Co n diti on. Not one By the ° aga inst i)P e n l e i life s m ve e r n y ts l 00 among them seemed to possess any definite idea of the rights or the duties of their Lordships' House, with regard to the question ; and no two of them agreed, between themselves, as to the precise mari ner in which their C' case" should be proved, or even enunciated. Lord St. Leonards challenged the legality of the Wensleydale patent, but could ad duce only negative arguments—that is to say, argu ments founded on the alleged absence of direct proof to the contrary, in order to establish so start ling a conclusion. Lor&Lyndhurst, who inaugu rated the debate, carefully refrained from pronounc ing the patent illegal, but culled a number of pre cedents from the records of Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart Sovereigns to show, that peerages con ferred upon a life tenure had formerly been clues , tioned and reversed.
