The House of Lords had last night the very great treat of a splendid exercitation on a constitutional theme by our oldest and ablest Conservative lawyer. It was impossible to listen to Lord Lyndhurst's review of the precedents anticipated for the creation of a peerage for life without following him to the conclusion that the measure is at least a stretch of the prero gative. It may be granted that every single precedent is faul y, either in respect of the times, or in some great speCia lity of circumstances, or in the manifestly objectionable cha racter of the persons ennobled, sr the more general cbjection that in order to prove the power .of the prerogative we must go back to a period when its power was - almost indefinite, and must therefore prove too much for our purpose. But., while the attempt`te'establish the perfectly constitutio na l c h arac t er o f the recent creation _ may thus end in proving too much, we must aay . that Lord Lyndhurst's own line of argument proved too much in another direction. He established most satisfactorily that we had no alternative whatever but to remain in a position not . merely difficult, incon venient, and scandalous, but practically intolerable, admitted to bo so long ago, and becoming worse every year. That position is, that while the ,House of Lords very naturally clings to its appellate j arisdietion, and Lord Lyndhurst would certainly denounce . as an outrage on the constitution any at tempt to .relieve it - of the burden; and while the law peers very properly resent the intrusion of the lay peers on what becomes, pro tempore, the seat of justice, the' highest legal tribunal'of the country dwindles into the casual attendance of one or two law peers, generally far advanced in years, who may or may not know anything about the question or the law upon which it turns. The Hou se o f L or d s, as a cour t o f appeal,' no longer commands the respect of the country, and, except in some very rare cases, its decisions are only the mere soleinn affirmation of the judgment pronounced in the court below.' Could the House of Lords be persuaded to give up, this function . to a body really competent to dis charge it—the Judicial Committee of Privy Council—that would give us, in exchange for a constitutional pageant, a solid security for justice. But Lord Lyndhurst does not advise this, and certainly the change would have much the same unconstitutional look as that under consideration. In deed the peculiar difficulty of the question is thstt His a con stitutional one. The constitution must be stretched, or settled by a " declaratory' measure, to use a Parliamentary phrase, one way or another; and whatwe have to consider is whether the creation of peerages for life be not the least objectionable measure for the purpose. No doubt an immediate remedy is found for the difficulty by summoning lawyers to the House of Lords ; but the pro cess is not carried on far enough to answer its purpose, and, as far as it does go, is productive of grave inconveniences. The law is fast becoming the on l y channel to the peerage, to the obstruction of other old channels. There is now a large class of Commoners in the country, of such wealth and posi tion, such territorial power and social influence, that they would rather strengthen the peerage than derive any additional consequence from it. Certainly it is very expedient that some of this native strength of the country, the spon taneous growth of her industry, her genius, and her domes tic virtues, shauld be infused into the peerage, and the Lords would be all the stronger, the Commons rather more tolerant .of their priority, for such an infusion. But the benches of the Peers, or rather the roll of the peerage, is so full, that no more Peerages can be made, and, in fact, there are very few-ereations except the law Peers. We have no wish to mention names. There is not a single lawyer in the house that we are not glad to see there. But when we look from the Peer to the peerage, from the man to the family now founded, we must say that we could select many a family from the rank of British Commoners which we would rather see permanently added to the peerage than those forced upon it under existing circumstances. The feeling is so general as notoriously to produce a certain leaning of a not very agree able character in favour of lawyers without families; and it is a matter of notoriety that a distinguished lawyer who either is not married, or too old. to have children, is more likely to have a peerage than a man tolerably certain to transmit the honour. Such calcu lations are very ridiculous, but they are a natural consequence of the constitutional scruple Lord Lyndhurst insists on. - - Granting, as we are ready to do, that the difficulty has been met by a stretch of the prerogative, at least, by an ex traordinary revival of its original powers, we can only say that these offences against the constitution are not so uncommon. Lord Grey may have hesitated to create life peerages, but he did quite as strong a thing in calling some twenty eldest sons of Peers from the Commons to the Lords, and, indeed, in his other large creation of Peers. Again, for about a thousand years, much further back than Lord Lyndhurst went last night, it has been unconstitutional for au English Bishop not to have a seat in the House of Lords, yet we have come to see a bishop without a seat ; indeed, as if iu order to disabuse the bishops of their constitutional prejudices, they are all made to pass through the most unconstitutional stage of exis tence. A representative peerage is a very unconstitutional idea, certainly very foreign to English usages, yet we have con sented to see the Royal prerogative controlled by the suffrages of subjects, so that when her Majesty has made a peer, as in Ireland, he cannot sit in the House of Lords uules , his eilow-peers send him there, while in Scotland they have even the power sif depriving him of his seat. Iu the case of the Irish Bishops, the seat which constitutionally it is her Majesty's to give outright is held in rotation. In these cases it will be said that Parliament made itself responsible for the alteration ; but that does not prevent the alteration being of au unconstitutional character, as much so, indeed, as if Par liament were now to adopt a suggestion once thrown out by Lord Brougham, and reduce the House of Lords itself to the constituent of a select working chamber. Iu the present instance it would not have been expedient to go to Parlia ment for the change. To do so would have been an admission that the Crown could not make the change out of the fuluess of the prerogative, and that admission would have been more unconstitutional than the course actually adopted. It is quite possible, too, that the Lords would have objected to the mea sure, and dove so in a spirit and with expressions fatal to any further proceedings on the subject. Lord Lyndhurst did not expressly assert the creation to be illegal, fur the obvious reason that the prerogative of the Crown is not so limited as the powers derived from it, or created by Parliament. The prerogative is wisely left undefined, at least only defined where its abuses in former days compelled limitation. 'where it is not so defined, the only limitation is common sense an't the public weal. Whether the creation of life peers is likely to be injurious to the. independence of the house, the purity of jus tice, and the general interests of the nation, is a qu es ti on of common sense, and will be decided, we think, against Lord Lyndhurst. On his own showing, life peerages have been created since the Restoration for private reasons, and the creations were good. Then, why not for public reasons? The very mention of the moral aspect of these peerages shows that it is a question of public convenience ; and, if it be beneficial to confer a life peerage upon a bad woman, much more is it upon a.good man. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) For a man who declares that he is "done for," and has nothing more to expect in this life but the smiles of an al!- proving conscience and the happiness of haring done his duty, the gallant member for Bath displayed, last night, re markable energy, and, we may add, considerable ability, in his expose of the abuses in the present administration of the navy. Captain Scobell has made out, it need not be delfed, a clear case for inquiry, which neither Sir James Graham nor Sir Charles Wood, with all the confidence and casuistry peculiar to those right hon. baronets, are able to gainsay or resist. That the Royal navy—England's pride, her historic glory, and the right arm of her power—should be abused to a greater extent, not only than the other branch of the pro fession of arms, but than any other branch of the pub lic service, seems at first sight somewhat unaccountable ; yet that it is so, is, we fear, capable of direct denioustration. The number of gallant officers who have deserved well of their country, but whose claims have, nevertheless, been lighted in order to confer promotion on the scions of noble houses and other fortunate individuals, is positively inere dil3lo. The partiality with which patronage has been dis tributed during a forty years' peace, and even since the out break of hostilities, would hardly be credited, but that the proofs are at hand. We have reached a day when this state of things cannot be suffered to exist--when the noble A 'a, B.'s, and C.'s shall be taken for what they are worth in the l e ft a prey to di sa p po i ntment and that deferred hope service, and no more— when d eserv i ng officers shall no longer be which sickens the heart and sours the whole man—whon Eng land's peculiar service shall be every way worthy of her— worthy of her, not only in its great Powers and achievements, but in its internal economy and management—directed by the sound practical sense of Englishmen, and having regard to the fair play which pre-eminently distinguishes the cha racter of this free people. We quite believe that the projected inquiry is grateful to, and desired by, the service at large. Captain Scobellhas not, we feel assured, overstated the feeling of the navy upon this subject; but we are inclined to think that the member for Bath iu developing and stigmatising abuses, referred to indi viduals in authority, rather than to the existence of an anti quated and injurious eystcrn. It is no part of our duty to defend Sir James Graham or Sir Charles Wood —we know the administrative abilities of the former are proved to have been absurdly exaggerated, and we believe no o ne ever expected much from the latter; it is but justice, however, to say that no man, let his abilities be ever so great, and his intentions ever so honest, could avoid the effects of abuses created and fostered by a system which must be thoroughly reformed.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1856. streors, not reformers ; the• source of the abuses which threaten, if not amended, to raider England's first , service eminently unpopular, and to drive our seamen iuto the war ships of other nations, lies too deep for eradication, or even avoidance, by half-a-dozen gentlemen, lay and professional, whose tenure of ofEc3' is quite precarious, and who seem to have nothing for it but to administer the system as they find, it. Certain minor reforms are within reach of the Board of Admiralty, and we are bound to say that board has not been slow to avail itself of any powers it possesses to affect them. We may refer to the recent changes in the medical depart ment in the navy in support of this assertion. In the main, however, the Admiralty cannot inaugurate reforms. It is `or Parliament first to investigate abuses, and then to eradi cate them, or, if possibly, to provide against their future growth, and we are bound to say that Parliamentary inquiry into the present. condition of the naval administration need not be deferred for want of materials. The House of Commons have, however, decided against the 'inquiry, and whatever necessity may exist for such a step we cannot but say that in the present state of affairs the house is right. This is not exactly the time for such a proceeding, hewer desirable—peace is not yet concluded, and a vivi section of exposurt of abuses in our naval economy and ad ministration would not tend to make Russia easier to be dealt with, and the negotiations about to commence the more hope ful. The revelations of Captain &obeli respecting the man ning of the Baltic fleet in 1854, attes ed and confirmed asthey were last night by Admiral Napier, are in themselves suffi ciently derogatory.to the naval characterof England. The fleet which now upholds the honour of the " meteor flag" does not include one-half the number of liners, or anything like one half the number of men (including sailors and marines) as that fleet which in 1800 went forth to assert England's supre macy on the seas. True, we have now an agency at our command, which has revolutionised naval warfare, yet the fact remains the same, that our naval service has fallen in popularity, and we have found that the sweepings of our towns and of our dockyards afford but a poor substitute for the thorough-going, daring, simple-minded sailor who conquered for England her maritime empire. _ . _ Captain Seobell did no more than justice to Mr. Disraeli, when he referred to the strong sense manifested by that right hon. gentleman, and the Administration of which he was a distinguished member, of the necessity for a thorough naval reform. Lord Derby's Government did really give assurance of their intention to effect such a revolution. But the other day Lord Malmesbnry described the conditicn in which the naval arsenals were found when the Duke of Northumberland and his colleagues commenced their labours. We need net say what were the results of those labours, honestly pursued for a few months. Let the present condition of the fleet, as re gards its materiel, speak for the efforts, well directed and unremitting, which, two years before the war broke out, placed our fleet in a state of preparation. We need only say, that had the carter of improvement then entered upon been steadily pursued there would be less need of the reform so imperatively demanded to-day. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

The supply of English wheat received up to our market this week, coastwise and by land carriage, has been mode rate. The show of samples to-day was,by no means large, yet the trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quo tations. In foreign wheat—the show of which was on the increase—so little bt.sinesii was transacted that prices were almost nominal. We had a very slow sale for both barley and malt, at barely late rates. --- Good s'onad oats were held at full r; ices, but other quali ties met a dull sale. --- Beans, Peas, and flour moved off heavily, at Monday's prices.

P...DVILTISEMENT. ]—lt is with pleasure we notice the daily increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver corn- Plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1848. Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention. When I began taking the Revalenta 1 was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, c and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering beingsev e severely compelledf ro m to h flatulency,,iv have recourseconstipation, and indigestion, and third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat, and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain iu the same position for ton minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my loft side, and about three inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Da Barry's Revalenta, Arabica morLing and evening, boiled in water and salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a drunken man, &c.—JouN VAss, Land-steward.- • In canisters, 51bs. lls. ; 121b5., 225. The 121bs. carriage free, on receipt of post-office order.

He 'had. not moved that the grounds for this creation should be referred to the consideration of the committee of privileges, because he expected that the matter would be brought before their lordships upon the presentation of a petition from that gentleman that he might be permitted to exercise his right to vote at the elect'on of an Irish peer. Since no petition of this kind had been presented, he begged to give notice that if within a fortnight such petition was not presented he should move that the question be referred to the Com• mittee of Privileges.

WALMSLEY presented a petition from Lei cester, praying for an investigation into the circum stances relative to the fall of Kars. The petitioners prayed that it might be known who were to blame •for withholding succour from that place. On the motion of Mr. FITZROY, certain returns re lative to County Courts and the butiiness therein were ordered. Mr. MASTERMAN movel for a return of the num ber of gallons of foreign wine imported : of the quanti ties upon which duty had been paid for home consump tion, and the quantities exported ; also the quanties ex ported on drawback, and the quantities retained for actual consumption in the United Kingdom, for the year ended the 31st of December, 1855. And of the number of proof gallons of rum, distinguishing West India, East India, and foreign ; also of brandy, Geneva, and other foreign, colonial, or. Jersey spirits imported ; of the quantities upon which duty has been paid for home consumption, the quantities exported, and the quantities shipped as stores and used by the navy, ,for tlee year ended the 31st of December, 1855, together with the quantities of each sort remaining in bond on the 31st of Dscemher, 1855.—Agreed to.. Colonel DUNNE gave notice that when the Army and Ordnance Estimates were before the house he should call attention to the means of supprying the army, and also ask whether any change was to be made in the War Department. POLECE BILL. Sir G. GREY said, seeing that the Navy Eitimates were to be taken on Monday next, he thought it would be impossible for him to move the second reading of this bill that day. He should therefore postpone the bill till the following Wednesday. POOR LAWS (SCOTLAND). Mr. E. ELLICE asked whether it was the intention of Government to introduce during the present session any measure for the better superintendence of the ad ministration of the Poor Law in the Highland counties? Sir G. GREY said the matter was under the consi deration of the Lord Advocate. ARCTIC EXPE DI PION S. Admiral WALCOTT asked whether and when it was the intention of tip; Government to grant a medal to tho.-e engaged ix the several Arctic expeditions, conform ably with the recommendation to that effect contained in the report of the select committee on the Arctic Ex peditions in the last session? Sir C. WOOD said the Queen having signified her in tention to confer a medal upon those persons engaged in the arctic expeditions, it would be issued without delay. When the delivery of CriMean ntedal had been com pleted, then the Arctic expedition medal would be issued. CRIMEAN REPORT. Lord W. GRAHAM asked whether the officers ani madverted on in the Crimean report had sent in any further explanations on the subject to the Government or the authorities at the Horse Guards ; and, if not, Whether Government intended to call for any ? Mr. R PEEL said he might call upon the hon. mem ber to state who the officers were, but he pre sinned that the Quartermaster• General at the Horse Guards was the principal one roftrred to. Her Majesty's Government had not thought it necessary to call upon him to make any report. When that officer saw the re port he bad forwarded his explanation. Lord Lucan had also made a statement. Mr. I ,BAILLIE asked the First Lord of the Admi ralty a question in reference to the conduct of Ad miral Stirling and Captain Elliott in the China Seas ? The hop, member then read the two statements that had been published with reference to this—one the English, and the other the Russian statement. He said it ap peared ,from Captain Elliot's statement that he really did not know the Russian strength in these waters. Captain Elliott declined to attack the Russian squadron, and sent in search of the Admiral at Japan. Captain Elliott did not appear to have thought it necessary to blockade the Russian ports, and subsequently the Rus sian fleet escaped. Sir C. WOOD said there could be no doubt the ad miral had the usual orders to take, capture, and destroy the enemy ; but he had no authority to depute his com mand to another. He did, however, send an officer to watch this portion of the world, which was an un known district. Sir Charles then geographically de scribed the locality referred to. Captain Elliott went to the upper part of the gulf in May, and dis covered Russian vessels lying there, a large frigate. 2 corvettes, with their • broadsides protecting the entrance of what was suppposed to be the harbour, and behind them what was considered the admiral's ship, but which turned out afterwards to be a transport and some ether vessels. Shots were exchanged. Un der the circumstances Captain Elliott did right in not attempting to enter the harbour with his small farce, and it afterwards turned out that it was not, as was supposed, the real entrance to the harbour. With regard to the blockading the ports the hon ourable member rea t Captain Elliott's official report, and said that the excuse he had given for not doing it, on account of the badness of the weather, was suffi cient. What was wanted, to force an entrance, was steamers, and he thought the gallant captain did right in endeavouring to communicate with the admiral first. fie also chose the night for that purpose, as being a time when the Russians would not be likely to be aware of his movements. Captain Eliiotc adopted the course he thought most likely to serve the capture of the Russian ships. Mr. ELLIOTT defended the conduct of Captain Elliott, and was sorry the subject had been introduced in the manner it had been. He was sure Capt. Elliott's conduct would bear investigation. The subject then dropped. BUNHILL-FIELDS BURIAL GROUND. Mr. MIA LI. asked the Under Secretary for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the fact that arrangements were being made and notices served for the removal of the remains of persons buried in the late Bunhill-fields Burying-ground, Church-street, Islington, and for using the ground for building purposes, and whether such proceedings were in accordance with law ? Mr. FITZROY said the Government had taken the necessary steps to make inquiry as to the troth of the statements referred to, and, if found correct, means would be taken to prevent it 3 repetition. OUR AMERICAN RELATIONS. Mr. COBDEN asEerl an explanation from the First Lord of the Treasury for the non-production of the correspondence respecting our relation with America. He had a twofold object in doing so—one the Central American Convention of 1850, and the other the recruiting for the Foreign Legion. The Con vection of 1850, owing to an unfortunate failing of diplomacy, was likely to involve a serious quarrel with America, and with regard to diplomati.tg he thought it desirable one of the future tests for a di plomatist should be his capability of writing plain and intelligible English. In this case both parties wrote and spoke the same language, yet there had been a lengthened dispute betwten the two countries relative to this convention. The correspondence that had taken place on the question had been published both in this country and America, but he was prevented from deal ing with it in that house until it had been officially communicated to the house. The noble lord (Lord Palmerston) had on a former occasion said the cor respondence waa not complete ; ,but he found from a statement that had been made by Lord Clarendon that it was complete ; and Mr. 'Clay ton in the American Senate had stated the same, and that the .question was to be submitted to arbitration. The other dispute was the sending emis saries to America to enlist soldiers. He should like to know who were the men who advised our sending to America for men to form a foreign legion ; men who had emigrated from this country to America to better their condition, and he should have thought they might have as soon expected to roll back the seasons or tun a river in its course as to send to the &nited States of America and find labourers, who were earning 45. a day, to came back here, and fight in a remote and seini-bar birous part of the world, when they bad men in Eng land whose labour was paid at the rate of but 61. per d ay . li e reviewed the amottle Towable that had been --- • - - raid to have been made in this case, and said he thought it would be mere satisfactory to all to . dificuis this ques tion rather than keep it .wrapt up in Secrecy the Fo reicioroffic.. The queStion he thought would be much 'safer in 'the bands of the house than in the Foreign-Office a A•the Press. If a war brae out between tbiscountry - and America he tivuight it would be attributable to the diplotna4Mf the 'Foreign-office and the irritation he press. lle could scarcely entertain the idea of a 'greattr calamity occurring than an hostile collision be t xeen this country and America ; yet he found from all he .saw and heard, it would be diffluit. to escape.from thoet calamity. Lord PALMESTON said that, be. did not think the. Clayton-Bulwer treaty was liable any ther thn,u oce construction although the the Arnercan Government had endeavour (Id to give it. another, different to this country, and in . cotsquence Of that the country had stated its will'ngttess t ze!er it to a third party; to that offer this country hal not received an. answer. On roiiew- Ang that esuirespondenee he was Willing now to lay the - papers before the house relating to it. With regard to the foreign legion, he defended the con duct of the '• Government .. and the instructions given to • prevent any infraction of the United States taws. and as anon as it was found umbrage had • been taken by that country, orders woke given to step the en listthent, and an apelogy made ; which, when communi cated to the American Minister in this country, be expressed - his satisfaction, and said he felt his country would do aim. A correspondence haj taken place, and he was in hopes he could have laid it before Parlia ment, but the day before Parliament met a despatch was received from America relating to it; which could not be answered before a communication had been made with the English Minister at Washington.
