Two important questions of legal reform were last night ventilated in the House of Commons_ the first relating to the state of the law, the other to the condition of certain eminent and venerable persons by whom it is administered. The tone and character of each discussion was in the highest degree creditable to the representative branch of the Legislature, and afford auspicious auguries of prompt amelioration on these all-im portant subjects. In the first instance the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Member for East Suffolk obtained leave to bring in a bill to consolidate the statute law relating to bills of exchange and promissory notes. It formed, Lovrever, but a small portion of the large and comprehensive alterations brought under the consideration of the House, which aim at the consolidation of the entire statute law of England, the effect whereof will be to reduce the lex seripta to one-eighth of its present bulk, and to substitutosome 200 or 300 acts for nearly 20,000, or from 1 to 1i per cent. of the present number. All persons will agree on the inestimable benefits that must necessarily attend such a change. The only question will be whether, in stopping short at the mere consolidation of the statute law, we can effect all that is desirable in the first instance, and whether that consolidation will either prevent or retard that which is the great end and object of every Legal RefOrmer—the speedy codification of the entire law, written and unwritten. Should either of these questions be answered in the affir 'native, it would constitute a powerful argument against the plan of Sir FITZROY KELLY. But we believe —and we have bestowed long and anxious consideration on the all - important topic—that the suggestions of the Ron. and Learned Gentleman are calculated materially to advance the great de sideratum, and that they are therefore worthy of t he most strenuous support from every consistent Legal Reformer. At present it is not merely n ecessary to the right interpretation of the law en any particular subject, that a vast number of statutes should be examined, but that conflicting enact ments should, so far as practicable, be reconciled. Great difficulties are thus imposed on the Bench and Bar, and much legal acumen is required to determine whether a provision has been repealed by, or is to be taken pari passic with, another. Where the recognised interpreters of the law are so frequently in doubt, what must be the condition of those who have not made th e subject the study of their lives, but who are by a species of legal fiction supposed to be thoroughly acquainted with all its details ? Suet an untoward state of affairs is alike dis graceful to the legislative body, and unjust to the community. But how is it to be remedied ? Bic labor hoc Vas csi. We can only judge of the arduous character o f th e t as k f rom t h e man y energetic, but unfortunately abortive, efforts that lave been made. si: F• Esu"Y ' S Biliz are so tiaxy steps in the xiL:ht direction, and so far from retarding they - will materially facilitate the progress towards the ult erior goal, a perfect legal code, in which, as in tl let of NAPOLEON, every point may be strictly a nd accurately defined, so as to remove many of the impediments to justice that exist in this c a untry. This must never be lost sight of, as the gri 'at aim and object of the Legislature. Any halt ing ; on the way would be an evil especially to be de, precated. It is because the propositions of the He .nourable and Learned Gentleman are perfectly unobjectionable is this respect that they receive ar cordial and earnest approval. The ether matter, referred to by the motion of t 7 lie Honourable Baronet the Member for West* nainster, is of a peculiarly delicate character. I There is no person acquainted with any of the truly venerable and respected Judges whose names were intioned in the course of the debate who would no t carefully shun anything that could occasion eviin a momentary pain or annoyance to any one of the number. The name of Baron PENNEFATHER is regarded not only in Ireland but throughout every part of the United Kingdom with profound admiration. He has justly been described as nulls secundus ; and perhaps there never was a brighter ornament to the judicial bench, which he has occupied with credit and honour to himself, and immense benefit to th• nation. We rejoice to find that his intellect is as clear as ever. But unfor tunately age and physical infirmityhave somewhat decreased his power. He was called to the Bar in Hilary Term, 1795, sixty-one years ago, and was then 24 years of age ; so that he has passed by 15 years the allotted age of man. This, however, might easily be got over ; but he is also, unfortu nately, blind—cannot make any notes of evidence, or refer to them, for the guidance of the jury. This is a fearful drawback to his great utility in other re spects. We regret that the question should have been forced to a division, but we cannot complain of those who voted in the majority. We can only add that the tenacity with which the learned Baron has clung to the Bench could not have been affected by any sordid love of pelf. He has long since earned tke otium, cum dignitate in the shape of the highest retiring pension sanctioned by law, and, taking into consideration the expenses inciden!al to the judicial position, he does not receive as much at this moment for his judicial services as a subordinate clerk in one of the Government departments of the country. We desire, at all events, to vindicate his character from that most unfounded aspersion. In the debate in the Lords, on the Speech from the Throne, Lord CLAItENDON emphatically de clared that he fully agreed with Lord DERBY that the armistice should be "of the shortest possible duration." The community participate in these opinions. They perceive that any tem porary truce must be altogether in favour of Russia, and to the disadvantage of the Allies— that she can replenish her exhausted stores, ob taining ample supplies of what are termed " con traband of war "—recruiting her forces, strength ening her fortresses, and bringing all her re sources to the points where they can be rendered most available. She, alone, can speak with any approximation to certainty of the result of the approaching Conference. To her it is but a fore gone conclusion. Well aware that implicit re liance may be placed in the straightforward in tegrity and unswerving good faith of the Western Powers, she can yield at any moment she thinks proper . ; while she has the means equally within her power of breaking off the negotiations, and resuming hostilities, should. circumstances render such a course politic. If the preparations be for a moment relaxed—if she succeed in obtaining a few golden weeks, or even days, after the break ing up of the ice, before the blockade of the Baltic ports be again proclaimed, the struggle may be protracted for another year, during which time the chapter of accidents may produce fiOnle thing favourable to the AUTOCRAT, which might avert the painful necessity of abandoning the traditional policy of the ROMANOFF dynasty. If, then, we are unfortunately committed by an ill-advised assent to the Austrian Propositions, the armistice should be, as Lord CLARENDON admits, "of the shortest possible duration," and no persuasion would induce him to assent to the unnecessary delay of even a single hour. The first symptom of diplomatic chicanery, or attempt to delay the arrangement, should be the signal for the resumption of hostilities, and the nation might again have reason to be grateful to PROVIDENCE for the failure of its negotiations. We should then be exonerated from airy injudicious pledge, and be enabled to exact terms far more satisfactory to the Western Powers, and more in accordance with the sacrifices which the chivalrous and high-minded peoples of France and England so cheerfully made in the glorious cause iu which they deliberately and advisedly engaged. What, we ask, is the true intent and meaning of the term "armistice ?" It is the same as if peace had been restored for the stipulated period. The seas will for the time be free to the blood stained flag, which so long skulked beneath stone walls, without, daring to exhibit itself before an armed. enemy. Provisions•and munitions of war may be conveyed to every place where they may he requited. Additional fortifications may be erected, and troops sent to the places where rein forcements are most wanting. Every day, every hour thus conceded will be of vast importance to the party whose territory is the scene of action. Even its commerce will, for the time, be resusci tated, and carried on without the selfish, and ex travagan tly paid for, aid of Prussia. On the other hand, what equivalent aivantage3 can we obtain ? No hostile foot is planted on French or English territory. Their commerce is uninterrupted—their peaceful vessels pass from port to port without doubt or fear. No money will be saved, for " the preparations will be con- tinued without cessation." The stores already accumulated at the scene of action, three thou sand miles from our shores, will be consumed ; while the replenishing thereof will cost us tenfold the price at which Russia can provide similar articles ! To us, then, every hour's delay must be deeply prejudicial, to Russia of vital and paramount consequence. What plausible pretext can be assigned for the dilatory proceedings already more than hinted at ? The armistice cannot be concluded until the preliminaries of peace have been signed ! Why should a few days not then be sufficient to arrange the treaty. If Russia be really in earnest in her pacific professions, site will be far more anxious than her opponents to sign awl seal. Any attempt at procrastination may therefore be safely regarded as clear, distinct, and unequivocal evidenee of insincerity and bad faith. ar We have ab initio earnestly sued a ga i ns t any armistice whatsoever, which only tempts the adversary to continue in the course of duplicity which it has hitherto so steadily pursued. The " natural armistice," which enforces a practical cessation of hostilities until the advent of spring, s q uite enough, and Lord CLAREND ON e care that it s h a ll no t b e exte n d e d, ut u e possible plea th a t may b e pu t f orwar d by or ort b e half of Russia. anyta longk LATEST NEWS.

Prussia with the utmost speed, and a great deal is to be effected before the end of the present year. The Marquis de Moustier, the French Ambassa sador, will probably be back here next week. His arrival is anxiously looked for to throw light on the future position of Prussia with regard to the Conferences. The report, that some fresh impedi ment had arisen to the appointment by the Pope of the Roman Catholic Bishops in Poland, is unfounded. The delay that has taken place is merely what is necessary according to past usage and the forms of the Papacy. " h 6y PERSIA. ERZEROIYM, Jan. 16.—Letters of a recent date from Persia state that Dost Mahommed is now close upon Herat. The Shah has mustered an army to meet the invader. Slim Pasha is playing a peculiar game here, sending away all Europeans in the Turkish service who might act as a check upon his conduct. He has just ordered Hussein Bey—a Hungarian, high up in the medical department —off to Constanti nople, on the plea that it would be irregular to keep hina at Erzeroum, as he belonged to the gar rison at Kars. The true reason is, that Hussein has a leaning towards the English. Winter has set in, and there is 'very little to be done just now. Every one hopes to see General Williams back at his old post by next spring. I must repeat the opinion I expressed once be fore, says the correspondent of the Times. If Selim Pacha be left to his own devices Erzeroum cannot hut fall in case of an attack. The fellow is too thick-headed even for a puppet. He ought to be changed for a man of more ability, if possible ; if not, at least for one more tractable. The main body of the Russians have retired from Kars, taking all the guns with them. The road to Gumri is represented as being quite open, despite the snow. 100 1001 100 100 100 1)0 100 100 - THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE CRIMEA (From the Times Correspondent.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, FRB. 1. Between 9 and 10 o'clock •n the night of the 29th ult. the whole camp was startled by the heaviest cannonade that has been heard since the fall of Sebastopol. Although the night was pitch dark, officers flocked up to Cathcart's-hill, and from a considerable distance down the road curious spec tators hurried to the front. The cause of the firing appears to have been as follows :—Six boats, full of men, put off from the Russian side of the harbour with the intention, as some suppose, of effecting a landing in Sebastopol, although it is difficult to conjecture what advantage the enemy could have expected to reap from so hazardous an enterprise. Others talk of a, reconnaissance, but the Russians can distinguish more with their glasses in the daytime than they could from their boats in so dark a night. Finally, a third conjecture points to the sunken men-of war, concerning which there is a myth current to the effect that they are held down below water by cables, and will start up afloat as soon as those are severed. It is not very probable that the Russians propose to raise their submerged fleet just now, so that this hypothesis falls to the ground, unless its ingenious framers imagine that they were going to see after the tackling, or to as certain the ravages of the worm. Rather unlikely ; and, in truth, nobody knows the object of this sortie of boats. Fire was opened upon them ; the French are said to have sunk one of them, aid then they retired, and the Russians commenced a furious cannonade from all their batteries right round to Inkerman. It is reported that they seat shells into the Malakhoff, and even into the Redan. As usual, the damage done was very small. A shell fell into the French guard-boat, carried off a man's arm, and went through the boat's bottom ; but the crew stuffed a coat into the hole and got safely to shore. A round shot went through the roof of the Town-Major's house in the English part of Sebastopol, but hurt no one. The fire was chiefly directed against the French, who replied vigorously. Very heavy while it lasted, but it was not long sus tained. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 4.—On Thursday last, the 31st of January, the rumour spread all at once that the Sultan would attend the bad costume at the English Embassy. A 8 o'clock a fire Lighted on the heights above the Imperial Palace of Tcheragan, followed by a salvo of artillery from Galata S era i, was th e signal had that the Sultan left his palace. A. little before 9 he arrived at the gate of the Embassy, escorted by a detachment of the 12th Lancers, and a guard of honour composed of British officers of all arms. At his approach the troops who lined the outer courtyard presented arms, and the band struck up the " Sultan's March" and "God save the Queen." The court itself was illuminated by numerous lamps and adorned with transparencies, which, however, owing to the blasts of wind, were only partially successful. At the great staircase, which was crowded with officers of the allied armies and Turkish dignitaries, the Sultan was received by the ambassador and his whole personnel. Accompanied'by them he passed amid the crowd of guests who were already as sem bled into the ball-room. There an armchair on a raised dais, covered with carpets, was prepared for him, to which he was conducted. Having sat down, with the representatives of the foreign Powers on one side and the Turkish dignitaries in attendance, on the other, lie had several of the ladies presented to him. Then the dancing began, which seemed to excite his interest considerably, and he stood up in order to have a better view of the proceedings. After looking on for about an hour, he expressed his desire to be shown into the refreshment-room, where he partook of some slight refreshment. He intended to return once more to the ball-loom, but he found the heat too intense ; so, after remaining in the refreshment-room for some time, his Imperial Majesty took his departure. Taking the ambassador by the hand, he descended the staircase, accompanied iu the same manner as on his arrival, and soon the guns of Galata Serai announced that he was on his way back. He did not return to his palace, but passed the night in a kiosh belonging to his brother-in-law, Ahmed Fethi Pasha. This act gains the great importance from the time at which it happens. It is a kind of sanction to the concessions which are to be made to the non- Mahomedan subjects of the Porte. Old Turkey is dead and gone ; the bail on Thursday last was the burial ceremony, and the lively strain of polkas and waltzes its funeral march. Ali Pasha, the Grand Vizier, is appointed by the Turkish Government to proceed to Paris, and he will embark next week in the French steamer Ajaccio. The other Turkish member of the con- ferences at Paris will be Mehmed Bey, the Turkish Minister of that place. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Conferences . will open on the 23d of this month. Count Buol ought to have reached Strasburg to-day. He is expected at Paris this evening or to-morrow morning. Count Cavour arrived at Lyons to-day, which place he was to leave immediately for Paris. Aali Pasha left Constantinople the day before yesterday. It is thought he cannot arrive at Paris before the 22d inst. To day the Bank of France rescinded the mea sure reducing to 75 days the maximum of bills handed for discount, a n d resolved to re-commence taking commercial paper of 90 days' date.

BmaLnr, Feb. 14.—The railway activity, said to be contemplated by the Emperor of Russia on the establishment of peace, has already commenced. Orders have been given to complete the junction cl Dalian ayat®m of railways with those of MONEY MARKET AND CONMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, yet with a steady feeling, and Wednesday's advance was fully maintained for all descriptions. The sales were from 8,000 to 10,000 bales (1,000 for export and 1,000 on speculation), comprising 70 Pernam and Maranham, 6d. to 6d. ; 20 Bahia, ; 400 Egyptian, NA. to Bd. ; and 1,000 Surat, 4d. to 4d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was steady, and closed at its best point. The business transacted in Colonial produce this week has again been limited. West India Sugar has remained inactive, and of other descriptions the purchases have chiefly been confined to immediate requirements. Coffee has been dull, and in some cases 6d. per cwt. cheaper. Rice has been steady, and tea dull. Common Congou is Bid. to 81d. For Saltpetre there has been very little inquiry. Cocoa has not undergone any ma terial change, and spices have been firm. Tal low has tended upwards. The public sales of indigo have proceeded with animation, and at an advance, in good and fine Bengal, of ls. per lb. on last October's rates. About 9,013 chests will be offered. The colonial wool auctions com menced last evening, and it is expected that between 40,009 and 45,000 bales will be put up during the series. There was a very full attendance, and a large number of Continental buyers were present. Prices for Australian flocks ranged on the average about 2d. per lb. higher, while superfine descrip tions were at a still greater advance. The pros pects of peace, and the shortness of stocks in the hands of the manufacturers, are the cause of the improvement. By telegraph the monthly statement of the Bank of France has come to band. The principal items are as follows : On the debtor side, notes in circulation ' 531,265,100 f. ; accou n t s current, 107,067,115 f. ; ditto in branch esta blishments, 25,875,656 f. ; creditor side, amount of specie on band, 94,639,695 f. ; cash in branch establishments, 119,587,230 f. ; commercial bills overdue, 496,377,016 f. ; ditto discounted, but not yet due, 227,030,052 f. ; ditto in branches, 212,764,382 f. Total transactions of the Bank, 947,829,962 f. By the Skerryvore, arrived in the London Docks yesterday, from Algoa. Bay, in 58 days, accounts from the Cape Colony to the 15th December have come to hand. Nothing of importance had oc curred. Trade was rather active in wool, and other kinds of produce, and the colony at Port Elizabeth, Algoa Bay, was progressing satisfac torily. A reduction has just been made in the French tariff on the duties levied upon exotic resins used in manufactures, which will increase the imports of gum lac and gum copal from British India. The duty hitherto, 30f. per metrical quintal, is reduced to 15f. In 1854 the quantity of gum lac imported was 302,858 kitogramtnes, and of gum copal 817,081 kilogrammes. Accounts from Sardinia state that the Chamber of Deputies were occupied with discussing the de tails of the budget fur the present year ; and had already passed the revenue estimates, which amounted to 157 millions and a half, being 2 mil lions over the .sum proposed by the Minister of Finance. The Dutch Government have just received in telli,gence of their expedition to Japan having con cluded a treaty with the Emperor, which grants them the privilege of trading with the Japanese without being liable to any restrictions, excepting an impost duty on all merchandise en tered at Nangasaki. This treaty also allows them to build stores for their merchandise on the Island of Decima, and to have all the privileges granted to other foreign states. This morning a good deal of excitement was produced at the Stock Exchange by the Govern ment broker reading the following communication, just received from the Treasury : " Downing-street, Thursday Evening, Feb. 14, 1856. _ " Gentlemen,—l request that you will make it known in the usual manner that on Monday next, the 18th instant, ,at one o'clock, Lord Palmerston and I will be ready to see any gentlemen who may be willing to contract for a loan for the public ser vice, in order that we may afford them information as to the amount of the loan and the time and manner of the bidding. " Lord Palmerston and I will at the same time communicate to the gentlemen present the con ditions upon which we shall be prepared to receive offers for funding a portion of the Exchequer bills now outstanding. " I hope it will be convenient to you to meet those gentlemen at the Treasury at the hour named. " I am, Gentlemen, " Your obedient servant, • (Signed) " G. C. Lewis. "To the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England." On previous occasions whon a notice of this kind has been made the particulars have been posted up in the " House," but in the present instance they were merely read, so that the majority of the members knew nothing at all about them, and considerable dissatisfaction was expressed in consequence. A memorial, it is re ported, will be drawn up and seat to the Chan. cellor of the Exchequer complaining of the omis sion. It is generally believed that the Loan will amount to 15,000,0001., and the funding of Exchequer Bills to 5,000,0001. The Stock Market opened quietly, Consols being about 92, but when the above announcement was made they deelintTli to 91, from which they have since further reacted to 91 for the account; the fall since yesterday being 1-i, 1 per cent. The money price has been as low as 90, The New Threes have been 92k, 94. Bank Stock has advanced 1/., being 213 to 215. ExcheqUer Bills, owing to the official notice above referred to, are 45., 35., and ls. discount. India Stock is 225. The Foreign S tock Market is exceedingly ina,ctive. Turkish 6 par Cents. have declined to 921 and 93 for money, and 931 to 92i for account. The 4 per Cents. are as low as 92k. Dutch 21 per Cents, are 641. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenacta Deferred Bonds, 61 74 ; Mexican, 20i g ; Peruvian, 79 81 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 57 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 47 49 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 6 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 92 94 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 421 43 ; ditto Deferred, 23124; ditto Certificates, 41 5 ; ditto Passive, 61 I. Railway Shares, although heavier, have not sympathised to the full extent in the movement of the Funds .Arrangements are still in progress for the settlement. The French lines are lower. Mining and Miscellaneous Shares are dull. All the new Banking Shares are flatter. BRITISH FUNDS TWA DAY AT ()NB C . CLOCK. (Froth thi Offal Liato Anon.. done. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

We are authorised to say that the original statement is perfectly correct , and h ave h a d sub mitted to us documents in proof of the fact. -- - THE LIVERPOOL AND PHILADELPHIA LINE OF STEMS. SHlM—This fleet of steamers, all of which were char. tered for the French tran-port service on the outbreak of hostilities with Russia, will presently resume their old station, and one of them, the City of Baltimore, Capt.

MARSEILLES, Feb. 13.—Shot, shell, and other materiel de guerre continue to arrive from the Crimea. These, with supplies received from the interior by railway, form au arsenal such as it is declared Marseilles never before possessed. The French steamer Jacquard arrived here on Sunday. She brought 100 Russian cannon, 1,800 bomb-shells, and 260 soldiers. Typhus fever declared itself among the troops during the passage, and two of them died in the harbour. The British sailing transport Lady Suffolk, of 1,300 tons, chartered by the French Government, arrived on Monday. She was laden with shot, shell, and cannon unfit for further service. Private letters received from Algiers, of the 10th inst., announce that there has been some severe fighting between the Imperial troops and the Kabyles. The insurgents were defeated on every point, but the insurrection is not yet suppressed. It is at present confined to the mountains of the Beni-Rates, where it broke out, and where it con tinues to be as violent as ever. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived. It is said that the number of persons in Spain who pay 120 reals taxes, and who will consequently be electors under the new law, is about 650,000. Lord Howden, the English Ambassador, had sent 10,000 reals to the Governor of Seville for the relief of the sufferers from the recent inundations. The Nacion say.; that the Government of the Crnited States has ordered a frigate to be exclusively employed in watching the ports from which expeditions against Cuba may be expected to be sent. PRUSSIAN CIRCULAR. The subjoined is a translation of a Prussian de spatch addressed by Baron Manteuffel, the Prus sian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to Count Arnim, Prussian Ambassador at Vienna, in reply to the communication made on the 23d of Jan wiry to the Berlin Cabinet by Count George Esterhazy, in the name of the Austrian Cabinet, of the proposals which Austria has since submitted to the Diet on the subject of the new phase into which the Eastern question has entered : " BERLIN, Feb. 3. "My despatch of the 2Gth of January was already in your Excellency's hands when on the 23d of January Count Esterhazy communicated t , ► me the Austrian despatch, of which a copy is annexed, of the 25th of January :-- " Tire annex to that despatch, the declaration which Austria has the intention to make to the Diet, has natu rally been the subject of our serious consideration. If the Vienna Cabinet, before deciding upon it, had con sulted us on the subject, we might have been able to point out a desirable modification, and we could not at first sigLt have decided in the negative the question as to whether it would not be better to adjourn for a time the communication to the Diet. "That consideration, however, did not prevent us from standing by the decision of the I nperial Cabinet as soon as it was taken, actuated by that sincere desire of which we have given so many proofs, of seeing the Diet come to a resolution upon it, rendering testimony to the union of Germany and of the two great Powers, in 8,) far as such resolution is reconcileable with the dignity and with the real interests of the German Confedera tion. " We are convinced that our German Allies recognise like ourselves, and with sincere satisfaction, that the preliminaries accepted by the belligerent Powers form an acquired basis fora speedy peace. I already stated in my despatch of the 2Gth of Jan., that Prussia, in her quality of a European Power, is ready to adopt that basis, in procuring which she is convinced she contri buted on her part in the interests of the peace of Europe, when the moment came for decision to intervene ; to adopt it, I say, in a manner not to admit of any further adjournment or compromise, by signing the prelimi naries and by pa&cipating in the negotiations connected therewith, if invited thereto by the Powers interested. "Prussia, in taking this position as a European Power is equally conscious of her duties as a German Power, as well towards the whole German Confederation as to wards her particular German allies. She must there fore suppose, as regards the latter, that .they also will be disposed to recognise the basis acquired by the entente of all the Powers interested as a guarantee of a proximate peace and as a protection of German in terests, and that they will also be ready to maintain tb - .t basis in the same measure as it will be made possible for them to do so in their quality of members of the German Confederation, to form au unbiased judgment on the points which might become the object of c - mtradictery views and preten sions, and which might cause the delay of, or even put a stop to, the negotiations. The Imperial Cabinet will share our opinions that a suitable representation of the Contedcratioo itself at the negotiations would, therefore, be a very efficacious rmaiures and therefore very de sirable iu the general interests. " The Arnbassador ofEheKing to the Diet will be charged to express himself in the sense of the above re flections in the Committee to which Count Reehberg proposes referring the declaration of Austria, and we confidently hope that be will be thug put in a position to co-operate efficaciously to bring about a prompt and unanimous resolution from the Diet.
