Previous to the, year 1825 banking in Ireland was a monopoly, enjoyed exclusively by. the Bank of Ireland. In the following year the Bank of England was curtailed of its extensive privileges, and since then the system of, banking in both countries may be said to be places upon a more solid foundation. The disasters so frequently occurring amongst private bankers were often a serious inconvenience to whole districts, which were not only ruined by a failure, but, in consequence, often deprived of the utility of a bank ing establishment. Scotland had long felt the practical benefit of a sound banking system, to which may be traced the rapid development of agri cultural and commercial prosperity, and other exciting causes being absent, the growth and improvement in her moral and social condition. In these respects it would be difficult to calculate the inestimable benefits which a joint stock system of banking has conferred upon Scotland. It was natural after the injury which the panic of 1825 occa sioned (and which may in no small degree be attributed to our unsound state of banking in England), that the attention of the public should be directed to the security of the Scotch system. Some public spirited individuals had made the attempt so early as 1822, but the privileges of the Bank of England proved too great an obstacle to their patriotism ; and it was not till after the occur rences in 1825 that the legislature formed the determination to grapple with these monopolies, and place England and Ireland on a footing of equa lity with their sister country. To the panic, therefore, the effects of which will be long remembered, the public are in a great degree indebted for the establishment of a sounder system of banking than had yet prevailed in either kingdom. It may, therefore, be taken for granted, that the experience of Scotland has proved the beneficial results of Joint Stock Banks, whether as regards the security they afford to the public, the confidence they inspire as to their stability, or the healthy influ ence of credit, which, by encouraging productive industry, admi nisters to its wants, and to the constant expansion of national prosperity. To the numerous stockholders in the Scotch Banks; which include the landowners and the wealthier classes of the community, Joint Stock Banking . has been a source of immense profit, as the value of an original investment has in more than one instance trebled, and been, in all, considerably enhanced. , . The local Joint Stock Banks which have sprung up in England have succeeded beyond the most sanguine calculations of their founders; notwithstanding the limited resources they possess, compared with the capital and credit of a national establishment. The shares in the local Joint Stock Banks of England are now selling in the market at the following premiums, which are founded on the dividends paid upon their capitals:- - • Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, 75 per cent. prem. Lancashire Banking Company 6O ditto Westmoreland Bank ' Bradford Commercial Company Huddersfield Leeds Company 4O ditto Saddleworth Company 62% ditto Provincial Bank of Ireland 92 ditto Ireland is a country, of all others, peculiarly suited for a profit able employment of capital. First, because the state of credit, owing to the want of a sound banking system, has been such as to tempt capital, by yielding it a high rate of interest, which is six per cent. Secondly, because a truly national system of banking would encounter less competition than prevails in Great Britain. And, thirdly, because a sound principle of banking would ensure a wider circulation to its paper and credit, by which last, alone, a bank can be made useful to the public, and profitable to the shareholders. The Bank of Ireland and the Irish Provincial Bank, with the exception of three local Companies in Dublin and Belfast, enjoy at present the undisputed monopoly of banking, without the ability, from the nature of the principles on which they are founded, to confer any decided advantages on Ireland, in return. The annual amount divided by the Bank of Ireland, is 270,0001. (exclusive of bonusses which have been added to the capital) and the declared profit in the last year of the Irish Provincial Bank was 56,3161. 18s. Bd. on their trading capital of 500,0001. This last bank was established in 1825---it was unquestionably very much required, and has, so far as it has been able to extend itself, conferred great benefits on Ireland. This, in a great measure, is to be attri buted to its connection with English capital, which inspired great confidence, and materially contributed to the development of Irish credit. But the Irish Provincial Bank has not succeeded in be coming, notwithstanding it has been established nine years, a National Bank. In this time it has only extended itself to twenty-one towns in Ireland, arising, most probably, from the defective principle on which it is established ; and which multiplies, with every additional branch, the details and difficulties of ma nagement, otherwise it would be difficult to account for the tar diness it has displayed in its movements. It appears, therefore, impossible that the Irish Provincial Bank can extend itself much farther with equal safety, and, at the same time, insure good management. As far as it has done so, it has been highly pro fitable to its proprietors ; but as nothing is more certain than that competition will follow success, to foresee it is of vital import ance in the beginning. The Irish Provincial Bank seems to have lost sight of this, and omitted to unite itself with a body in Ire land, with whom to share its profits, as well as to fortify itself on a principle, by which resistance could be made to inevitable com petition--a competition based on success, the best temptation and security to capitalists. It is not, however, likely that the Irish people would remain for any length of time deprived of a national system of banking, or capitalists fail to secure a field which has proved so productive, and which conducted upon an enlarged scale, is more certain to increase the advantages of investment. In founding the National Bank of Ireland, so as to deserve the name of National Bank, two leading principles, entirely overlooked in the Irish Provincial Bank, must be adopted, viz. :- Ist. The power of extension, without increasing at head quarters the labour of management. 2d. To insure its success against competition by providing tha means of defence. The plan of extension of the National Bank of Ireland includes a system of self-management, and an union with a large body of local proprietors where each branch is formed, upon a principle, which will stimulate its exertion by increasing its direct interest in its own success. _ . It is proposed that each branch shall have a separate capital pro portioned to the extent of its business, one half to be subscribed by resident shareholders, so as to identify their interest with their own establishment, and the other half to be subscribed by the National Bank of Ireland, whose connection with each branch, whether its separate capital consists of 5,0001. or 50,0001. will afford it the credit of whatever capital (however large) the National Bank of Ireland may have actually paid up at the time, • It is proposed to commence this undertaking with a „Capital of One Million, which, as the branches extend, will be increased by fresh issues of Shares, at a Premium, to new subscribers ; the premium, on each extension of capital, to go to the original pro prietors. This premium will be calculated on the actual success of the undertaking, and capitalists who may be disposed to set up a rival bank, will be enabled by the constant enlargement of the capital, to embark in the National Bank of Ireland without running the race of competition. - - - • The following are the terms and conditions of subscribing:— First. That a Company shall be formed in London, to extend to Ireland the benefit of a sound banking system. Second. That a Bank be formed in each town in Ireland, where practicable by law, and which offers a prospect of success to the operations of the Company. Third. That the object of the London Company shall be to connect itself with Shareholders exclusively interested in the suc cess of each local establishment. Fourth. That the principle of the Bank shall be the division of profits of each bank, with such local shareholders in Ireland. The capital of each branch to be subscribed equally, by shareholders on the spot and the Company in London. ball be Fifth. That the capital of the London Company 5 1 1,000,0001. in shares of 501. each, to be called the Original Capital, which may be increased as the business of the Company extends : but the premium, on any addition,to go to the first subscribers. Sixth. That the Bank shall be formed as soon as half the capital is subscribed. MANAGEMENT. Seventh. That the Bank shall be managed by a Board in Len don. consisting of Twenty-four Directors, in whom will be vested the supreme control. Eighth. That each Local Bank shall be managed by a Board of Local Directors, elected by the local shareholders, subject to the approbation of the Directors in London. Ninth. That the Directors in London shall be empowered to appoint Presidents and Honorary Directors. Tenth. That a full and authentic Report shall be made each year to the Subscribers, of the affairs of the Company ; and the proceedings, at all Meetings of Proprietors, printed for their use. Eleventh. That the proposed Establishment shall be called THE NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND. T we lfth.

The work consists of 730 Hymns; 730 Portions of Scripture, with Reflections ; and 730 Prayers ; and the history is illustrated by beautiful Engravings, from the most eminent masters. In the Appendix will be found a variety of additional Prayers, to suit particular days, circumstances, and events of Providence. It is intended that this work shall be a complete System of Family Devotion. First. By the blessing of the Holy Spirit, it may prove a great and seasonable help to those who wish to honour God by family worship, but who find themselves unfit to offer up extempore prayers in the presence of others. Secondly. Besides, the work may prepare such heads of families for leading the devotions of the family in prayers clothed in their own expressions. Thirdly. It may be found particularly useful when heads of families are from home, as family worship is often neglected, in case of their absence, for want of a work of this description. The author is not aware that there is any work in existence on so full and enlarged a plan. He therefore wishes, by the blessing of God, to leave this as a legacy to his country, and the church of Christ. NOTICES OF THE WORK. We welcome Mr. Fletcher's Manual of - Family Devotion. It is wanted in England, and worthy of notice in Scotl an d. B es id es being in a quarto form, and printedin a bold and clear type for the benefit of the aged, it is distinguished from other books of prayer, by appropriate portions of Scripture, and hymns for the morning and evening of every day in the year ; thus comprising in itself a Bible, hymn-book, and prayer-book. Besides the general appropriateness and unction of the prayers, there is one thing which claims our special approbation. As might be expected from the author, the children and the young people in the family are never forgotten. The petitions in their behalf are printed in italics, that they may be as surely used where there are children, as omitted where there are none.—Evangelical Magazine. The Rev. A. Fletcher's Guide for Family Devotion. The plan is the most novel and complete we have ever seen. It consists of a selection of a hymn, (with the name of a tune to which it may be sung,) a portion of Scripture, reflections on the passage intended to be read, and a prayer. All these are compressed into a quarto page, so that the whole service is a short one. Seven h un d re d an d thirty of these services will be included in the volume, besides addi tional prayers, engravings, &c. The reader scarcely need s t o b e told that the sentiments of the work are strictly evangelical, nor can he doubt its tendency to great usefulness.—Sacred Star.

CAULIFLOWER AND CAPE BROCOLI THROUGH our WINTER.—Sow at the end of June and on to the end of July, and get the plants as strong as you can before the frost sets in. It is better that none of these have the least appear ance of flower when taken up for protection. Then lay them into the ground with their heads to the south, if it can be done conveniently, leaving little besides the thick leafy top out of the ground. Firm the soil to the roots and stems, to keep out mice, &C. ; cover them in all frosty weather, but expose them at all times when the weather is not severe. By such management they will produce handsome and compact sized heads through the winter, and as long as required, and as long as required, and even till early cauliflower comes in. For the convenience of covering, it is best to leave two-feet paths between beds of nine or ten plants, laid side by side in the cross rows ; and lay each row so that the tops do not over. lay one another.—Horticultural Register.

It is that state which renders the body susceptible of catacausis, or combustion, either spontaneous or excited by very slight causes. Lecat reports the case of Ma dame Boiseon, aged 80, very lean, and having drunk nothing but brandy for several years. She was sitting in her arm chair before the fire, and was left by her servant for a few moments. At her return, the servant saw her mistress all in flames. She cried out, and brought people to her assistance. They en deavoured to extinguish the fire with the hand ; but the fire stnck to the hand as if it had been dipped in flaming brandy or oil. Water was brought and thrown in large quantities upon the lady, but the fire appeared only the more violent. It was not extinguished until all her flesh had been consumed. Her skeleton, very black, remained entire in the arm-chair. The chair itself was only a little scorched. Only one leg and two hands of the lady were detached from the other bones.—Car butt's Clinical Lectures. ENGLISH LITERATURE UNDER THE STUARTS. —That period of the English 'press, from the accession of James I. to the Revolution, is, perhaps, all circumstances con sidered, the least favourable to the diffusion of knowledge of any period in our whole literary history. In the reign of the first Stuart came an inundation of pedantry, which surrounded the court with verbal criticism and solemn quibble—the peo ple, indeed, had their glorious dramatists, but Bacon was looked upon as an impracticable dreamer. Controversy, too, began to be rife in England ; and the " Spirit of the Age" exploded in such a torrent of civil and ecclesiastical violence m the reign of James's successor, as left the many little leisure for the cultivation of their understandings. The press was ab sorbed by the proddetions of this "furious spirit." There in the British Museum, a collection of 2,000 volumes of tracts issued between the years 1640 and 1660, the whole number of which several publications amounts to the enormous quantity of 30,000. This most curious collection was made by a book seller of the name of Tomlinson, in the times when the tracts were printed—was bargained for, but not bought, by Charles 11.--and was eventually bought by George 111., and presented by him to the British Museum. The number of impressions of new books unconnected with Controversial subjects, printed during these stormy days , _ must have been very small. D r . Johnson h as w e ll remarked that the nation, from 1623 to 1664, was satisfied with two editions of Shakespeare's Plays, which, probably, together, did not amount to a thouslnd copies. • (From the private Correspondent of a Morning Paper.) MADRID, JUNE 25.—The public attention is at present com pletely engrossed' with the business of the elections. As yet we can only judge from the samples produced in the first pro cess of distillation of the probable qualities of the future re presentative extract ; but if the whole machine work as well as it has hitherto done in the electoral college of the pro vince of Madrid, there will be less. reason to complain of the result than was lately apprehended on the score of liberality or independence. In the metropolitan province there are eight electoral districts, that formed . by the city of Madrid sen,ling twelve, and the other seven, two electors each into the provincial college. The twelve electors of Madrid having the means of communication with each other from day to day, and concerting their measures, could easily of course control the returns of every one of the five representatives. It appears, however, that they are willing to content themselves with the return of three of the five, and these three will pro bably be Gargollo, the late director of the sinking fund ; Bar maseda, the banker; and Aguirre Solarte, the senior partner of an eminent house of business in London. These three gentlemen are all as distinguished for liberality of character as for independence of fortune, and if the Representative Chamber should in general be composed of similar mate rials, the friends of good government and of enlightened but cautious legislation will not have much to complain of. There has been an attempt on the part of the Ministry to force their nominee, the corregidor, the Marquis de Falces, on the electors of Madrid, but in spite of the habits of deference to constituted authority, which are in this country so closely incorporated with men's thoughts and actions a spirit of resistance has eyidently arisen to this attempt at dic tation, and to-day it t isxpected that the independent mem bers of the electoral college will be able to command a majo rity against any candidate proposed to them holding, place of any kind under Government. This resulla in a great degree to be attributed to the personal firmness and the habits of busi ness of M. Aguirre Solarte, who would himself make a most useful procurador if his personal scruples could be overcome, or if his duties in London were compatible with his acceptance of a seat in the Spanish Legislature. From the intelligence I have been able to collect out of letters which have arrived by this day's post, I have reason to believe that the returns from the more distant provinces, and especially from Murcia and Cordova, the Rieja, Cuenca, and Guadalaxara, will in general be of a similar character._ This reserve is ascribed to a dispo sition on the part of the electors generally to make the Cham ber of Procuradores a sort of counterpoise to that of the Proceres, the members of which, although in general men of liberal sentiments, are almost without exception dependent, more or less, from the offices they hold, on the pleasure of the Ministry. . It is understood that a question of very great importance to purchasers of what was called national property during the period of the Constitution, has been for several days under the consideration of the Council of Regency. It is said that no less than five different meetings of the Council have been held on the subject, and that a very marked division of epi nion has arisen, leaving little or no chance of reconciliation or adjustment. Amarillas, Santa Cruz, Castanos and Ofa lia, are all supposed to be decidedly in favour of the com plete indemnification of those who lost their property by the general confiscation of 1823, while the other four, the Arch bishop of Mexico, Medina Celi, Puiz, and Carro, are all as decidedly against it. The appearance of the cholera in the town of Mora, and province of Toledo, within 14 leagues of Madrid, has excited a very great degree of alarm, so that already a great number of families are directing their steps northward, preferring the dangers of civil war to those of the pestilence. To prove how general this feeling operates, I may mention, that on calling with a friend this morning at the office of the royal diligences, we found that there was not a place to be had in any of the coaches for the north for a fortnight to come. In fear, as in fashion, the Court unfortunately takes the lead in giving a tone to the public mind, as the sudden decampment from Aranjuez sufficiently testifies. It is said that the Queen al ready speaks of moving to Valladolid or Burgos, and if the panic continues, it may very possibly interfere, in one way or the other, with the meeting of the Cortes. The fear of the cholera has produced the most active pre parations for cleansing the city, and a project has been set on foot for introducing a more plentiful supply of water. Circular addressed to the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Ca . tholic Queen to her Majesty's Diplomatic Agents Abroad. " As it is desirable, for the better service of her Majesty the Queen, that a correct idea be formed in foreign countries of the present state of the nation, in order to dissipate the errors which private interest, bad faith, or the spirit of party, may strive to cir culate, her Majesty commands me to charge your Excellency, by all the means in your power, to givethe greatest publicity possible to those facts and circumstances which daily present the cause of the legitimate throne and the nation in a more favourable point of view, and which'form the basis of their present welfare and their future hopes. " The contest in:Portugal having been concluded in the course of a month by the arms of Spain, the treaty of the 22d of April having been at the same time negotiated, so as with the united strength of the two kingdoms of the Peninsula, and the eventual co-operation of two such powerful nations as those of England and France, to give a last blow to the illusions of the party of the usurpa tion; the insurgents, who had risen rather as hordes of banditti than as political partisans, having been put down in all the provinces, ex cepting only those of Biscay and 1\ avarre ; the Urban militia hav ing everywhere been organized in great force and full of enthusiasm; the last levies for the army having been completed and put in mo tion as if by enchantment, and the troops returning from Portugal improved in discipline and fitter for service, anxious to join their companions in arms, the heroes of the north, to extinguish once for all the flames of civil war—such is the condition in which the Queen's cause presents itself in a military point of view. " If we turn our eyes to its political condition, we find it not less flattering and satisfactory. Amidst the agitation which is con stantly produced by a state of domestic discord, by the rising of some provinces, and by the powerless attempts to disturb the peace of others, good order, obedience to the laws, and respect for the con stituted authorities had been maintained, and while the party of the usurpation is falling, the magnificent edifice of the ancient laws of the monarchy arises, without danger or convulsion to the state, without the necessity of recurring to measures of exception, and without the im position of any extraordinary burdens on the people. Such, on the contrary, is our present state of security ? and the general confi dence in its continuance, that the national credit has risen to a point till now unknown, furnishing the means of meeting a large expenditure which the circumstances of the period have rendered indispensable, and the nation, already occupied in choosing its re presentatives, awaits in tranquillity the approaching session of the Cortes, assured of then finding fresh pledges of order and stability. " These facts being public and notorious, furnish a triumphant answer to the erroneous calculations, the sinister predictions, and the calumnious imputations with which we have been assailed, and ought to serve the important purpose of enlightening public opinion on a matter of so much importance. To this effect your Excellency will apply such diligence and zeal as may correspond with the con fidence her Majesty reposes in you. " God protect your Excellency many years. " FRANCISCO MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA. " Palace, June 21." MADRID JUNE 29.—The rumour has been actively circu lated to-day that the. cholera has made its appearance in Madrid ; but although the alarm is undoubtedly a false one, its effect has been to increase the panic which previously pre vailed. In place, however, of attempting to calm the common consternation, the. Queen and the Government have been the first to set the example of pusillanimity. On Friday last it was intimated to the diplomatic body that the Queen and the Ministers were about to set out for St. Ildefonso, and as this intimation was regarded as a command by such of the foreign Ministers as usually accompany the Court, the most active preparations for a somewhat sudden demenagement were to be seen on the following day at the French and English Em bassies. A few hours after Martinez de la Rosa and Garelli had left the capitkl for La Granja, two Royal orders made their appearance, the one countersigned by Moscoso, the Mi nister of the Interior, forbidding the sub-delegate of police to issue any passports for the Sitio after 12 o'clock on Saturday, the other by the Minister at War, directing the establish ment of two sanatory cordons, the one at La Granja itself, and the other at the pass called the Puerto de Navacerrada, in the mountains of the Guadarrama. It ap pears that the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and for the Depart ment of Grace, and Jusice Martinez de la Rosa and Garelli, are to remain in attendance on the Royal person, and that Zarco del Valle and Moscoso, the Ministers of the War and Home Departments, are to be stationed two leagues further off, at Segovia, but that the intercourse between the two places is to be carried on by correspondence only, to the exclusion of all personal communicationbetween the members of the Cabi net on the opposite sides of the cordon. If it were not obvious that all this solemn trifling was to pro duce a great deal of distress and inconvenience by the interrup tion of business, and the excitement of apprehensions already too general, it might be possible to pass it over with a smile ; but when such a measure is taken in the midst of the elections, on the eve of the meeting of the Cortes, and in defiance of all the dictates of experience, it is not easy to speak of it without some feeling of indignation. The apology made for the Re gent is, that the young Queen and her infant sister had for some days been indisposed, and had excited a mother's fears for their safety ; but supppsing that to have been the case, it did not necesstuily follow that the whole frame of the Govern ment was to be broken up and dispersed, and that the relations of the Ministers with each other, with the capital, and with the agents of friendly powers, were to be interrupted by means of cordons, which may very well stop the march of business, but not that of the cholera. _ _ The panic, however, is not confined to the Queen and her Ministers. The whole population appears to be infected with it, and to-day there are persons of the highest rank in society who are unable on any terms to obtain the means of trans portinb themselves beyond the reach of the apprehended danger. The medical practitioners, and those especially who havo had opportunities of studying this particular malady in foreign countries, are enjoying, the prospect of a golden har vest, several of them having already opened lists for the in sertion of the names of those who wish to secure their services in case of need. The nearest authentic case of cholera is at the village of Vallecas, about two leagues from the capital, so that there is very little doubt of its rapid approach ; but whe ther the government will think it right to postpone the session As the publication of these unpopular arrangements coin cided with the eve of the great feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, when the whole of the lower classes of Madrid are on foot during the greater part of the night, parading with music through the street, attending church at intervals, and dancing on the Prado, it was feared that the discontents of yesterday might burst out into some serious commotion. Unlike- other prophecies, however, the prediction of a disturbance of the peace has no tendency to produce its own verification.. The public authorities were evidently on the alert, and in addition to the ordinary force at the disposal of the police, the streets were patrolled during the night by strong parties of cavalry, without, however, interfering with the nocturnal enjoy ments of the populace. It is remarked as not very, credit able to the candour of Martinez de la Rosa, that on taking leave of M. de Rayneval and another member of the diplomatic body, he assured 'them, in answer to their remarks on the impossibility of committing all their senti ments to writing, and on the necessity of constant personal intercourse with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that it was his intention to return to Madrid in a very few days, but that if an interview became necessary before his arrival, they should be provided with orders for post-horses, which is the usual form in which passports are granted to the members of the diplomatic body. Now, at the very moment when these assurances were given, the Minister must have been aware of the resolution to establish cordons, cutting off most rigorously aH sort of communication with La Granja, forbidding alike his own return to Madrid, and the journey of the ambassadors to Sitio. This is not perhaps a crime, yet politically , it is some thing worse—c'est une folic The elections continue to proceed as satisfactorily as could have been expected. Those of the metropolitan pro vince attract very naturally the greatest share of atten tion. The whole of the electors had yesterday arrived in Madrid, and have already had several preparatory meet ings. Some change has, in consequence, taken place in the views of the aggregate body, but the return of M. Fontagud Gargollo, the late director of the Sinking Fund, may be con sidered as certain, Messrs. Balmaseda and Aguirre Solarte having persisted in their refusal to accept the offered nomina tion. The Marquis de la Gandara, an able and upright man, who has suffered severely during the last eleven years, will, I believe, be another, and M. Firmin Caballero, formerly the editor of the suppressed paper called the Boletin del Comercio, and now of its substitute, the Eco del Comercio, will probably be a third. Should the courier be delayed an hour or two later, I may be able to furnish you with the other two names, as the electors are now in deliberation at the house of M. Aguirre Solarte. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have received a private letter from Frankfort, which informs us, upon the best authority, that the measures adopted by the late Congress of Vienna, consist— ' Ist, Of a reciprocal Convention establishing certain abstract maxims of Government, which the German Sovereigns engage individually and jointly to uphold. 2d, A tribunal to be instituted under the name of Compro misions Gericht (Court of Compromise), for the decision of differences between the Sovereigns and their subjects. This tribunal is to be summoned by the Diet at the applica tion of the parties ; and when it has pronounced judg ment, reference is to be made to the Diet for the execu sion of the sentence. It was intended that this tribunal should be allowed to exercise its functions at the application of only one of the two parties; but it is believed to be owing to the spirited remon strances made by the King of Bavaria, that the competency of the tribunal will be limited to cases in which both parties shall declare their willingness to abide by its decisions. 3d, Regulations to counteract the political tendency of the educa tion given in the German Universities ; a Curator is to be named in each University to superintend its disciplin , and the students are prohibited from entering into secret associations. 4th. The censorship of the press is to be maintained throughout Germany, and no paper is to be published without a permission, which may be revoked in case of misconduct. Other questions are understood to have . been treated on in the Congress, the principal of which are Commerce, Lotteries, and Austregal Judgments (Pasta Conventa) ; but the final decision of these questions will be left to the Diet.—Morning Chronicle. It may easily be supposed that all the bills which have passed the Commons, or are in progress through that House, will not pass the Lords. Were there no other rea son for making a selection, the want of the requisite time would render it necessary to make one. Lord Wharncliffe having last night called the attention of the Lords to the state of the business of the House, observing that there were several measures now before them which would re quire no small portion of time to be devoted to their consi deration, Lord Grey answered that several of the bills could not pass this session, and he instanced two, for altering the criminal law of the country taking away the punishment of death in certain cases. One reason (said his Lordship) why all these alterations should not be made this session was, that as yet they had established no good system of secondary punishments. The Lord Chancellor observed that the Bill for the abolition of imprisonment for debt could not pro perly be passed this session ; and with regard to the Bills for the alteration of the criminal law, his Lordship made an observation, which, in our judgment, is deserving of the utmost attention :—" With respect to Bills for the altera tion of the Criminal Law, he thought that they ought to be introduced on the recommendation of men whose atten tion had been particularly directed to those matters—that alterations, instead of being made as now, should be taken up and made in a systematic way. He hoped that the Criminal Law Commissioners, some of whom were most versed in these matters of any men in West minster Hall, would favour the country with a report on the matter before the next session, and call the attention of Parliament to those changes which ought, and those which ought not, to be made in the general system of our criminal law." There is, unques tionably, great force in these observations of the Chancellor. We do not, of course, want to deprive Members of Parlia ment of the right which they now possess of originating Bills ; but it is obvious that too great facilities are at pre sent allowed to crude experiments in legislation. Some check should be instituted in the way of standing commit tees of men chosen for their knowledge and experience of the different departments of law, to which Bills should be submitted in the first instance ; and though the Member who failed to obtain the sanction of the Committee might not be precluded from afterwards appealing to the House, it is obvious that in many instances the Member would be satisfied with the decision of the Committee, and, at all events, it would be necessary for him to make out a strong case for the inter ference of the House. The Lords of the Articles, in the Scotch Parliament, had the power of absolutely preventing the introduction of measures of which they disapproved. This, of course, led to great and manifold abuses ; but, on the other hand, the systern of the British Parliament is also open to very great abuses. The statute-book is at present crowded with contradictory enactments ; and were it not that Acts of Parliament are, in nine cases out of ten, so clumsily framed that, in the language of lawyers, a coach and horses may be driven through them, many of the laws would be productive of the greatest mischief. We trust that something like consistency will be aimed at in our cri minal legislation, and that every Member with a crotchet in his head, and with no other qualification than a restless activity, will not be allowed to bring in Bills at discretion. Some difficulties ought to be overcome before a Member is allowed to introduce a measure 'to the House.—Morning Chronicle. The second reading of the Poor Laws Amendment Bill in the House of Lords is fixed for this evening. Two courses are open to their Lordships with respect to this measure—either to reject it at once on the second reading, or altogether to remodel it in Committee. The former would, perhaps, be more generally popular among the body of the people, who, with Cobbett, are anxiously look ing to the Lords to save the poor from the grindingtyranny to which the Bill exposes them. The latter, however, is certainly the more wise and statesmanlike course, and would insure the approbation of all the reasonable and humane portion of the community, who wish the abuses of Poor Law administration to be reformed with a strong hand and without delay, though they would - preserve inviolate the principles of that great and just law, which, while it has protected for more than two centuries the lives of the poor, has proved throughout the same period an equally efficient safeguard to the property of the rich. If the latter course be adopted we trust to see the Central Commission shorn of its uncon stitutional and unprecedented powers, and reduced to a branch of the Home Department, similar to that suggested by Mr. Pitt in 1795, having for its duties the collection of information relative to the practice and working of the Poor Laws in every part of Britain, the publication of an Annual Poor Law Budget and Report, the establish ment of an umfom and intelligible system of parochial ac counts, and the issuing of " Rules, Orders, and - Regula tions" for the relief and employment of the poor, and the erection, management, and superintendence of work houses, not compulsory, but recommended to the adoption of magistrates at Quarter Sessions, who should have power in case of adoption, to inforce them through their several counties. In this shape the Central Boa rd will be of g reat use without being empowered, as unde r the Bill it is, t o workl irremediable mischief at the w ill of two or th ree crotchetty political economists.
