THE CHEAP NEWSPAPER PRESS.—Upon the repeal of the newspaper stamp duty several cheap daily news papers were printed and issued in Nottingham. In a short time most of them decliced ; not even the great interest attached to the war in the Crimea could keep them alive. The most spirited paper, however—the Daily Express, as it was called, published at a halfpenny, —survived and was printed daily until Wednesday last, when it also died. In the "parting words" of this last number the editor remarks, after speaking of its success up to the present moment and also of its usefulness, that the reason why it is not continued is—" simply because there is no need for it." "And when one says, Why not divert the Express into topics of general in tere4t ?'—tn be candid," says the editor, " we don't think it w,,uld pay to do so ; and what is the use of being martyrs to our whims?" LON DON. SATURDAY EVENING MA. LORD STANLEY AND HIS CON STITUENTS. On Wednesday Lord Stanley, M.P., addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting of his constituents at King's Lynn, on the present aspect of foreign and domestic politics, with the view, as he stated, of informing them of the politiCal aims and ideas of their representative, and of hearing from them their wishes on public matters. With regard to the war, the hope he had about a year ago expressed, that it would be of no long duration, had been justified. There was no record, he believed, of ally European struggle of equal magnitud e ending so quickly—a circumstance which indicated that peac e had become, or was becoming, the natural condition of mo dern society. Mr. Pitt was stated to have once said, when accused of making undue concessions in a commercial treaty with France, that it was a matter of no great importance, be. cause a treaty was only binding during peace, and peace with France ceuld not be expected to last a very long time. We had now got beyond that state of things, and though we were yet far from the realisation of universal peace, there were in ternational interests growing up which tended slowly, but certainly, to link nation to nation, until a gradual diminution of armaments should take place, and Europe be spared the reproach of keeping more than '2,000,009 -men in idleness and arms—a standing burden on their fellow-citizens, a per petual- check to material progress, as 'pertnal danger to free dom, and cause of jealousy and mistrust between people and people. The treaty of peace, he thought, had-beeh received with satisfaction, but without enthusiasm, which was all that reasonable people expected ; ; but he thought its terms were far less important than the spirit 'in which the parties mutually negotiated. A treaty, though morally binding and sacral, was not legally enforceable, for' there was no law court - to take cogniseuce of its breach,; or,. if there were, there -was no international police to .enforce its decrees. Tree ties, eetherefore, could always be broken by 'those who 'Made them ; excuses were never wanting ; and neither princes nor people cared much for the public opinion of any nation but their own, .which was generally with them in such, mat , - tors. • Terms of peace to be lasting must be not only honour able, but suety that neither party should have an Interest to break them. ..With regard to .the present prospects of Europe pn this subject he said .that, diplomatically, there were few continental powers which had assumed to stand in the first rank, but practically Austria and Prussia had played a secondary part. France and. Russia were the only two aisle to involve E rope in war. Russia had a.certain kind of public opinion; bee was mainly governed by the personal .will of its ruler, and ho believed that the Czar's love of peace and desire for social progress was really a part of his character, and not assumed for a temporary purpose. With regard to France,' although it was an article of belief with some that her restless ambition and warlike temper were still a cause of danger to Europe, yet during the last year there hadbeen a general desire in France for peace, and a very strong pressure upon the Goe verument, by its own subjects, to make peace. Napoleon had, by directing the attention of his subjects to industrial en terprise rather than foreign conquests, given another proof that he understood their temper and tendency. In the disposition. of those foreign Powers, therefore, there was seen re eson to hope for a continuance of peace. The general course which this country ought to pursue in her future foreign policy was plain. No doubt there were cases, such as , those of some of the present Italian Governments, where the acts of cruelty perpetrated - in the name of law justified; and even de manded, the remonstrance of foreign countries, on the ground of common humanity ; others, again, like that of Sardinia, where we were bound to protect a faithful ally ; but as a general rule he was opposed to much interference in the internal affairs of foreign countries, because, among other reasons, it afforded despotic Governments their best excuse for keeping up the immense standing armies. which gave them the power of doing mischief. The • duty of England, as an empire, lay beyond the limits of Europe. Her people were eminently a colonising people. Half our trade at present - was with the United States, the colonies, and ludia,—with States which now are or have been our colonies, and with territories which we held by conquest. Canada and Australia were doubling their population 25 years, and every acre reclaimed, every colonist who went out to our colonies, was an accession to the cause of freedom and self-government. The successful and con tinued existence of one free and great empire, like England, under constitutional government, was standing and in destructible evidence against absolutism in all forms. England, so constituted, was destined to lead mankind out of their present transitional state to a better and happier future, destroying abuses - , not by direct attack, but by • the irresistible attraction of example. Turn ing to our internal policy, there were many questions of deep interest which could at present be stirred with advantage. It would be premature to speak of financial reform until' our war taxes were paid off; but there were two taxes so objec tionable, on social and economic grounds, that they might well be remitted, even at the. expense of maintaining a higher income tax than would be othe• wise necessary. The insurance duty was a fine on prudence, was not felt by the very rich or the very reckless, and was now driving business from our own into foreign hands ; and the paper duty was vexatious in collection, checked improvement in manufacture, tended to raise the price of an article of which the demand exceeded the supply, and hindered the diffusion of cheap literature and news. Parliamentary reform must necessarily be deferred. Re believed a general apathy prevailed respecting it ; but he would say that either the thing ought not to be done or it ought to be done effeetually—no small measure could or ought to pass ; and no Government ought to take up that subject unless they determined to stand or fall by it. It was intoler able that a Minister should be enabled to keep on agitation hanging over the country, merely because his party was dis satisfied, and he wished to content them. A third topic which, he regretted, could not be raised for the moment, was that of education. He was less sanguine than last year of any general measure on the subject; but the late majority against Lord John Russell's scheme was no test of the general feeling, the measure being not one com plete in all its details, but merely a series of resolutions, some very good, some doubtful, but all put together without much appearance of care or consideration, and put forward without much external support. But there was no cause for permanent discouragement, for there were causes in operation on which, in the long run, the friends of education might confidently rely—the cheap press, called into existence by the legislation of last year, cheap literature, libraries, reading-rooms, institutes, and, more than all, the gradual opening of the civil service to intellectual competi tion. Sooner or later the adoption by this country of a sound system of school teaching was certain. But the practical subjects which at the present moment ought to engage at tention were mainly three—army reform, administrative re form, and the amendment of the law. The first was a duty imperatively called for by the experience of the war. He believed the Crimean disasters were caused much more by want of plan and foresight in the executive at home than by want of administrative ability on the spot ; but it was only natural that two years of war should have taught us that which 40 years of peace had led us to forget. Now was the time for action ; if the opportunity was lost it was not likely to return. For years before this war the House of Commons could hardly be got to listen to a discussion on military affairs —the expense of the army, and not its efficiency, was alone thought of. That state of things, natural iu time of peace, was certain to recur, and if it did the victories of the war would be cited in defence of every system, notwithstanding which they were obtained. No doubt the Government or its friends would say that before the reduction was carried too far, and that it was necessary to keep under arms a numerically large force in time of peace. There would always be crafty men to hold that language, and credulous men to believe it. But suppose ing that advice had been acted upon in 1813, and that from that time to the present we had spent two or three millions more early than we had done on our army, we should have had a larger number of retired officers, or, worse, officers who ought to be retired but were not—two generations of soldiers trained in arms without even firing a shot against an enemy—and a vast stock accumu'atecl of weapons obsolete i: l e t c . dut y iau y b e i ng w ith o ut being employed, and the cost of which would h ave b e en lost to the country. Taking at the highest estimate (100,000,00 01 .) the cost of the late war, 2 , 500 ,0001, yearly f ro m 1815 to 185 4 would have come to the same s um , w ith the addition of interest, while it was not at all certain that increase d preparation would have prevented th e war. B u t w hat was wanted in time of peace was rather the nucleus roun d which an army might be readily formed than a grea t T h of e army guarding should t he, , colonies, ada extent, an d relieved Australia f o e e arm y itself ; and he pointed to the militia, disembodied, b u t ca ll e d out for short intervals of training, as supplying such a w well able to do that by l oca l m iliti a; and standing s grudged in army at home, campshould s of retained e o of formed, th no expense e theirl tra ining, all means used to develo p o the scientific branch of th e s ervice, and, above all, so much work given to officers in th e discharge of their ordinary duties that the profession s h ou ld be really a working one, and not a mere excu se f o o f r whatinstruction was for wearing a red coat. With regard to the purchase of commissions, his lordship said that the system had no pa rallel, either in other countries or in other branches of the public service in this, that it was anomalous in theory, un just between man and man, and that the principle on which alone it could be defended would also justify the selling of judgeships and secretaryships of State. Its one sole defence was, that the abolition of purchase would put too much patronage into the hands of Government. But the patronage of the civil service had been taken from Government, some branches of the military service had been opened to compe tition, a numerous force was not required, and, further, a fixed proportion of commissions might be given away to the sons of deserving officers. If the social class from which officers were taken were changed be this measure, to any great extent, it would be a misfortune— a constitutional danger. An army whose officers solely depended upon the Crown for means of subsistence might become in troubled times a dangerous instrument in the hands of an unscru pulous Government against the people. But he believed that result was quite out of the question ; the army was never a lucrative profession; it afforded, during peace, very little scope for ambition ; it was apt to lead to habits of expense, and the education required for it was costly to ob i tarn ; it was not likely, therefore, to be selected by parents in the less wealthy classes. The preponderance of one class among officers depended, in fact, more on the general tastes and habits .of the community, than upon any exclusive system at the Horse Guards. The objection to military reform by Parliament, on the ground of its interfering with the Crown, Lord Stanley combated by pointing to the navy, which was represented in the House of Commons, and governed like any other department responsible to Parlia ment ; and by arguing that Parliament voted money for the army, it had the right of ascertaining llow that money was applied. But he only claimed for the Commons the right of settling the general principles of military administration, and deprecated those debates on the merits of individual officers, and criticisms on military operations, reviser there had been too many. The house did not sit to the sen tences of courts-martial, or to give opportunity for eulogising particular men. With regard to the civil service, he thought, with Mr. Gladstone, that it was not overpaid, test that more persons were em ployed to do the work than it would be necessary if they were be ttor selected. He did not believe that it often happened that candidates known to be unfit were appointed with that knowle d g e, but the fair g round of complaint was that no care was taken to choose the fittest. All, he believed, agreed that there ou:ht to be a check to this, and the only question was, whether the test to be im posed should be merely an excluding test or a competitive one. He was in favour of the latter, as tending to promote .self-respect in the employed, relieving public men of the re sPonsibility of selection, which was treated lightly by the careless, but weighed heavily upon the conscientious. A system,, oh the other hand, which merely excluded those below a mental standard, relieved the Minister of respensi- bility without securing the ablest applicant. He believed (contrary to an objection which was urged) that the test of knowledge applied to persons• entering life, was to a great extent a moral as well as an intellectual test, proving the elistence of industry, pbrseverance, and steady habits much more than of mere talent, which was not by any means the first quality required for success in such efaminations. He admitted that this question should be looked at en its own merits, and - not with reference to its in- - clfrect bearing on the question.of education ; that in exami nations carried too far there was a risk of pedantry ; that ac curacy of knowledge, not extent of attainments, should be alined at ; and that care should be taken to give as far as Ipssible an equal value to attainments of different kinds, but Nthile there was no infallible way of judging men's abilities and characters, on the whole - the competitive plan was the best. He supported it because it excluded absolute ineffi diencY, favouritism, or suspicion of favouritism, and carried out that great and sound_, idea —an open career to all. ' He advocated a more ready transfer of civil - servants from depaie. ihent and department, so 'as W facilitelie promotion by meri ihstead of seniority, without excitirss jealousy ; and the se - Paration of merely mechanical.from.'.:,neental labour, thus re ducing the ..a.umber of servants required in the higher grades, and rendering their work Of a hi her *erecter, and, there fore, more attractive. With reference to law amendment, he believed that the great majority or thinking men • wete *reed that the ecclesiastical courts, with their cumbrous and antiquated 'machinery,' ought to be done away with, and probate of wills decided in a new court. The only difference (If opinion was, as to the constitutio n Of this new court ; but lie hoped that difference between-the-two bills before Patha n:Lent would basettled and, an effective measure brought into leeration. Greater facilities were r equ i re d in the transfer of aded property, and for the sake of agricultural improve ment, the actual possessor of land ought as far as possible to be the absolute master of, it, iqieendently of.the .claims Of others: As reCommetided - be% the Statute LAW' Commis sion, a.board , was required to exemiae new-bills before and during their passage through Parliament, to insure their being crear in meaning and not repugnant to former acts. The consolidation, also e of the statute law itseg was required -e-the separation ofiebsolete: lasts from those actually in force,- 1 and reduction of the whole within comparatively small bulk. On one subject—that of marriage and divorce—the" present state of the law was absolutely disgraceful. He did net wish to* extend the 'right if divorce beyond the clause of adultery ; but it was monstrous that a husband Who had been deserted and wronged could only be released ley a special act of Parliament, costing about 1000/. The ord Chancellor had ,a ; bill on that subject before Parlia- *lent,- and it was ta be hoped that the session would not Pass without the establishment of a cheap and simple tribunal for cases .ef the kind. Lastly, a Minister of Justine I Was required. Without some such central controlling autho city all projects for law amendment would be fragmentary and imperfect. That want it would not "oe difficult to supply. He advised a &Vision Of the numerous duties now devolving on the Lord Chancellor in this respect as Speaker to the House . of Lords and as the highest judicial authority in the realm. Passing over numerous minor matters his lordship spoke of his vote on the Sunday question, confassing himself ashamed, riot of any vote that he had given, but that such a veto should .be held to require apology or explanation. He had maintained, and would maintain through life, the prin ciple that individual conviction should be free ; that the laws eixisted for the maintenance of social order, for the protection of man against man, and not for the enforeethent of any real or supposed religious obligation. He expressed his surprise at the state of feeling evinced on this subject in a Protestant country, showing, as it did, that there were many who in theory would admit the right of private judgment, but who in practice, when the private judgment of their neighbours differed from their own, were Very ready to adopt the theories of former times. His lordship concluded by observing on the general question of reform, that if we wished to go far we must not go fast ; but while he deprecated all hasty or violent change, be believed there was in the end no policy so revolutionary as that which had bees called the conservatism of immobility—the resolution that "happen what may after wards, things shall not be altered is our time." He would not use party names, because, at the present time, they had little meaning ; but he would say (not as a paradox, but as 4 truth) that in England there. was much which all must wish ;to see altered, much which all must wish to see retained ; and in England, therefore, no man could be a reformer who was not in some sense aeConservative, and no man could be a true Conseevative who was not iu sem sense a reformer. His lordship's address, which was mast attentively listened to and frequently applauded, concluded amid enthusiastic cheering, and a vote . of thauks to him, proposed by Mr. e ßagge; was given with three times three. A vote of thanks to the mayor for presiding concluded the proceedings. • SOICIDB OF M. CHARLES RUSSELL. Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held an in quest yesterday at 2 o'clock oa the body of Mr. C. Russell, late chaiskan of the Great Western. Railway, at his late resi dence in Argyle street, Regent-street Mr. G. L. Russell, of the Chancery bar, identified 'the bo ly as that of his brother. He knew of no cause. except mental disease for his committing suicide. Robert Howard, valet to the deceased, deposed that he had two or three days before complained of pains in the chest ; and on Tuesday morning had balled for a cup of tea—a fact quite unusual with him, and still complained of the pain he was labouring under, and said he had sent for medical advice. Ho left him at 10 o'clock .atnight.Mud went_to ltis room ata quarter before 7on Thursday morning. He then found the deceased lying on the bed in his dressing-gown, on his side. His face was covered with blood ; two pistols were lying by his side ; howas not dead at that time, but breathing hard. 'He (witness) ran for the nearestnsedical man, and Mr. M'Os car, of Tyler-street, attended, aul a physician was sent for. He heard no report of a pistol during the night, and no one was in the house except the deceased, witness, and the female housekeeper: The pistols found on the bed ho had never seen before. One had been discharged, the other appeared to havemissed fire. The deceased never spoke, and died about 2 o'c ock. Mr. J. M`Oscar deposed that when he was called to see the deceased he found him bleeding from the mouth and nostrils. The blood on his face was quite hard ; and, on examining the mouth, he found a large fissure in the centre of the palate, evidently caused by a pistol shot, the bullet, in a'l probability lodging near the brain. Ho was perfectly unconscious and had had no power of motion, and the act might have been committed one or two hours before he was called in. He had no doubt that death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain from the wound, and that the deceased committed the act himself, which appeared, from the direction of the wound, to have been done with the left hand. In his opinion, from the marks of blood on the floor, the deceased must have fired the pistol standing, and then thrown himself on to the bed. Both pistols had not been discharged, hut, one being un screwed, the powder bad dropped out, the bullet remaining in the barrel. Mr. Morton, of 26, Sta.nhope-place, surgeon, said he had known the deceased for sonic years ; he had latterly been suf fering from oppression on the chest, which would tend to de press the brain and cause mental derangement. After some further evidence the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." RAILWAY TRAFFIC _RETURNS. TRA.FFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK.

It seems that we aro never to be indulged with a spell of tranquillity within and without. Scarcely had we done with the foreign foe than a set of internal enemies startled up within, the heart of the capital, and we are once more delivered over. to anxiety and alarm.- If we have+ no longer to fear for the lives of our friends :in the Crimea, the ap preheusion must now be for ourselves and for our property. Stones in place of shells, and bliefgedns in place of sabres, will, according to all appearance, play their" part ; and to morrow, upless the peepltebe better advised, we have to apprehend a repetition of the dismal follies of last year.' We have received a number of placards of an inflammatory character, in which it is recommended : that the people -should assemble as ulna' in the Parks. Nothing more is said, althotieh everything is' implied. "Little birds" in melodious whisper have informed the authors of these-pro clainations that " the people will 'be' the stronger," &a. Now, it is notallees to say what the end of this will be. There will be a great assemblage in the Parks, especially is flyere — erraik - : — Tls6lbiera'and ieligaboreds of London will introluce themselves among the honest and• respectable portion of the population. A disturbance will ,follow. There will be rows, and conflicts with the police, until at length even the persons who wish best to the cause for which the people are contending will be compelled to ad mit that it is better the' Sabbatarians should enjoy their unlucky triumph over common sense than that the town should be given over to riot and disorder. One would have thought that the experience of last year would haveledis fled even the more advanced of this party that the attempt to impose the Edinburgh Sabbath upon London was not likely to be crowned with very terearkable success, but the feeling of disgust at the bigotry of the men who would in terfere with tha reasonable liberty and enjoyments of their fellow-subjects will be increased a hundredfold by the con sequences of any riot, be they what they may. Having sail thus much, we will venture to offer a few words of the most serious and asarnest adyice to our fellow- 4 subjects and fellow-townsmen. There must not be any riot or disturbance in the parks or elsewhere to-morrow. Every respectable person who may find hiinself at any of these places must reckon himself as a special. constable • there present to maintain, not to violate, order. There is nothing the fanatical party so eagerly and intensely desire as a violation of the peace, and in this hope they must not be gratified. It will bo highly to the honour of the Lon doners if any thief or vagabond who endeavours to clause confusion iu the parks to-morrow be instantly collared by the bystanders and handed over tothe euatody of the po lice. Above all, there must be no attack upon the consta bles, who are there for the maintenance of orders, and who must do their duty, at all events. We say again, most emphatically, we trust the Londoners will not give - to the bigots that triumph which they seek. The cause of Exeter-hall must not for a moment be identified with the cerise of law and order. It is not with stones or bludgeons that this battle must be fought, but quite in another way, The reason why the Exeter-ball Fakirs have triumphed is that they have had organisation, where the people have had none. This bas been the triumph of a theological phalanx ' over a mob of laymen. As to the parks, the Exeter-hall people signed, but didn't go ; the park people went. but didn't sien. Which is the greatest proof of eonviction ? The Exeter-hall people have a perfect erg's. - nisation, always ready for any emergeaey: They have in their own sense carried out Sir Robert Peel's direction— " Register, register, register!" • What wonder that at any given moment they clear the Parliamentary field before them, and astonish their fellow-subjects with the spectacle and results of their union and intolerande ? This contest must be decided in a peaeefal way, or it will be decided to the disadvantage of the-people: • There i s en additional reason why we earnestly deprecate riot or ' confusion to-morrow. Next week Parliament will be sit ting, and there will be an opportunity of putting ques tions to the Minister, which may, as we trust, lead to a peaceful solution of the difficulty. This week, unfortu nately, there has been no possibility of dealing with the question in this manner. . Now, we would have our follow: townsmen consider how entirely they will strengthen the bands of their enemie,lif they put it in their power to say —" The public peace has been violated. ' Order must be maintained. The populace out of doors must not bo suf fered to trample upon law and "authorityi or iSherel is the end to be?" At the same time we will add, that it will be the fault of the people if they do not carry thei point. They must unite and petition, as their opponents have united and petitioned, and then, no doubt, the authority of the majority will prevail. We think we can promise the aid of well nigh every respectable jourtiatin the king dom, if order be preserved—not otherwise. Let the people do their part. as we will do ours, and we have little fear of the result ( Front the ilforniity Herald of this day.) We look forward with the deepest anxiety to the debate which is to be expected in the House of Lords on Thura- day iiext. Lord Colchester has given notice of his intention to call tho attention of the Upper House to the declaration of the plenipotentiaries nEnerubled nt Paris relative to maritime law—a declaration by which the naval supremacy of Eng lind has been abrogated, the law of nations, and there fore the law of this land, has been fundamentally altered ; and by which the Queen in Council and the High Court of Parliament have been reduced to a mere ceurt of registry for enrolling the ukases of au ambassador and his masters, whether in or out of England. We shall not at present touch upon the point of the in formality of the document by which this change in our laws was effected. It will be sufficient to say that in an act of such paramount importance the authorities under which the signing parties derived their power to bind their respective nations shonld have been most solemnly and formally set forth. We may add, that in the afore said declaration such rehearsal of authority is omitted ; and, on the contrary, England's surrender of her unques tioneble belligerent rights to seize enemies' property where ever she could find it afloat, is conveyed away from her in an instrument so informal that it is vitiated by its own inherent defects. Nor is it necessary for us to argue that the right of search and wirer() has always been the law of England. This none can deny. To quote again the words of Lord Stowell :—" The right of search is clear in practice, which is uniform and universal on the subject. The many Eu ropean treaties which refer to it refer to it as pre-existing, and merely regnlate the exercise of it. All writers upon the law of •isetions unanimously acknowledge it, without the exception of Hubner himself, the great champion of neutral privileges. In short, no man in the least conver sant wi h such subjects has ever, that I know ef, breathed a den t upon it." We have shown on former occasions that England has, np to 1853, invariably maintained herself when at war by the exercise of this right. In 1780, when (to use the words of an eloquent writer) " she was solitary, abandoned by the %dee(' eeeld • struggling with a fatal schism am ongst her own children ; opposed with diminished re sources to all the b efeatest maritime powers of Europe, to the continent of America. and almost to the continent of ASia; without a single ally, and before her ancient vigour bed stiono out, under the direction of her favourite ad mird, to the dismay of her opponents, nothing could be more firm or consequently more honourable than the con duct of Great Britain."—(Ward " On Neutral Powers.") She meintaine 1 this tight, and she broke the armed neutrality which Russia had leagued against her. There were men in England then ; the contrast now is too pain ful to dwell on. We have also explained how, in 1800 and 1807, with similar vigour and with similar success, she again resisted the pretensions pet forth by Russie when the death of the Emperor Paul ensued. For it was by an armed neutrality, and as an armed neutral power, that in the time of the Empress Catherine the Russian Cabinet wished to extort the surrender of this right from England. By the main as of the Emperor Peed Russia passed from the state of neutral to that of belligerent, and thus was expelled to the seizure of her goods. Russia, when at war, had and has, no maritime means of maintaining her trade —cud at that. period an English Cabinet could not be found base enough to connive et it a c n o d u could public,h Her geniis are heavy; they have to be transported 1, 7 sea ; her sea coasts are not extensive ; her goods all pass through narrew E st v r e a r i y ts, m w a h n i i ch n l a tu f s e ,i w a, cruisers e s er- P a aul sh w e as ca s insedteicpea:l:lZta.lo.n foreign trade ; therefore as soon as Eng atrbarnignlVit laed seized hererogfoordnsgtlhaen(Eunsipaetrorse The to bear on other states only by acting on their trade, ' lf she is supreme at sea, other nations will not expose themselves to her attack. We need scarcely refer to the last war with France, to the activity of our CI uisers, to the rarity of the engagements of great fleets, and to the life of the gallant Cellingwood, and other admirals passed, se to speak, in one long blockade. It has always been, therefore, by the exercise of the right of seizing their goods that she has ex hausted their commerce and maintained her own. On so obvious a point we need not further dwell. The most important part of the question, however, as well for the nation as for the House of Lords, is the con duct of Lord Clarendon in so binding this realm without having had authority so to do. He is now in the position of an agent who, having re ceived a general power of attorney to act for his employer on a specific matter, makes use of that power to sign away the heir-looms of an entailed estate. Clearly he is liable to process from any one possessed of an interest. "The common and fundamental law of nations," says Lord Stowell, "is of necessity the fundamental law of every nation. It is one of those laws which never required the consent of princes for its establishment, and which no congress of princes is competent ever to talon away." There is no denying that Lord Clarendon has changed and taken away the fundamental law of England, not only without the consent but without the knowledge of the great council of the nation. Any proceedings, therefore, in Parliament which shall end without directly inculpating him for so doing will be an absolute admission that an English Ambassador in congress with the representatives of other nations has autocratic power over the laws of England, and boars rule over Queen, Lords, and Commons, unquestioned and supreme.
