We observe that, after a session of exempelairnyceri forbear ance,s certain of the Peers are beginnin g t o v displeasure with the architect of the New Houses o e f Par liament, Mr. BARRY, on account of the apparently inter minable delay in providing any better accommodatien for the Lords than that which they have been so long compelled to put up with. It must be confessed that the Chamber in which they meet is absolutely disgraceful— even as a " make shift" for the purposes of so dignified an Assembly. Its wretched lighting, its miserable di mensions, its ventilation which, like the Satyr in the Greek fable, blows hot and cold at one and the same time, and the manner in which the galleries are projected into the area of the chamber, render it at once the most paltry and the most inconvenient saloon in which a great legislative body was ever assembled, nnt• withstanding the be-crimsoned hangings and cushions and coverings which every where obtrude the contrast of splendid drapery to the most homely carpetry. Here and there a small window piercing the walls, at two thirds of their height from the floor, has an effect of Cyclopean awkwardness and insufficiency in relation to the huge blank which they reveal rather than give light or air to the interior. Mr. BARRY has promised fairly enough, over and over again, that, at all events, the ac commodation for the Lords would be ready ere this ; and as it seems that, in October next, eleven years will have passed since the old Parliament Houses were burnt down, it does not seem unreasonable in Lord BROUGHAM to complain of his utter faithlessness. About a year and a half ago we directed attention to the report of a Select Committee of the House of Lords, on the progress of the edifice generally, but specially on the extraordinary departures which Mr. BARRY had made from the designs approved and settled by former Lords' Committees appointed for the purpose, and which departures, involving a huge additional gallery super added, in very bad taste, to the designs so settled, ap proved, reported upon, and adopted, was severely cen sured by the Lords as utterly unauthorised. The new gallery and other features, which Mr. BARRY affected to consider himself at liberty to add, under the general discretion reserved to an architect, will cost the country, it is understood, at least 150,0001., in addition to the enormous sums already expended on this immense pile ; and when Mr. BARRY was pressed in his examination by the Peers, on the occasion we refer to, he acknowledged that the altera tions had not originated with himself, but were the crude suggestion of some unauthorised party, by acquiescing in whose ristions of " effect," and the necessity for a greater surface applicable to the display of decorative art, &c. &c., Mr. BARRY must, ere this, have had the satisfaction of discovering that he has marvellously com promised the unity and character of his own design, and given much offence—not to say disgust—to the truly constituted authorities, to whom he was bound to have referred the question of these additions, or excrescences rather, before one stone was squared for their construction. Lord BROUGHAM affirmed, and his remark appeared to be acquiesced in, that Mr. BARRY'S assurances were net worth the paper they were written on ; but if the Learned Lord would be at the trouble of ascertaining how much labour and time, as well as money, have been devoted to the excrescent new gallery, designed and built upon the unwritten "suggestions" in question, he would little marvel at the delay which has constantly intervened in the progress of the New Chamber for the Lords. From the first exposure of this affair by a Noble Peer, whose own distinguished taste and ability as an architect gave great value to the state ments, we were quite satisfied that the other portioLs of the work would always be liable to what we must term the same "liberties" which Mr. BARRY was guilty of, in disfiguring the settled designs by an addi tion so utterly unwarrantable, and in itself so objec- tionable. What Lord BaouGlleat can mean by de claring that Mr. BARRY fancies he has beyond the House protection so powerful that he is regardless of any displeasure within it, we do not stop to inquire; but if Mr. BARRY do indulge in any such fancies, we quite concur with the Noble and Learned Lord that he will find himself egregiously mistaken. It is really high time that some progress more rapid and decided towards the completion of the interior works, necessary for the accommodation and business of the Legislature, were made, instead of Mr. BARRY'S occupying so large a portion of the means and the staff which he has at his disposal (to an extent, we believe, unprecedented in the annals of public works executed in England), on the multiplication of those heraldic monsters which com pose the multitudinous menageries in stone that are to attest to future ages what were considered the appro priate effigies and decorations of the palace of the Bri tish Legislature. I'l/ hether the appropriation of. these quadruped supporters to the arms of all our Kings, from WILLIAM the Norman, down to RICHARD IL, the latter of whom fiat assumed them, is another of the gratuitous caprices which enter into Mr. BARRY'S definition of the " discretion " of an architect, we know not. But it is very clear that the time be stowed on chiselling these works of superogatory heraldry- on stone, supporters for two 'Williams, three Henries, one Stephen, one Richard, one John, and three Edwards, who never carried them (according to a writer in the Art Union, from whom we derive the fact and the authority), might be more properly bestowed in advancing the accommodation of Parliament. However, Mr. BARRY is in Lord BROUGHAM'S hands, and if he cannot plead satisfactorily to the charges that Learned Lord may prefer against him, we wish him, rather than hope for him, " a good deliverance." The annual general meeting of the proprietors of the New Zealand Company, was productive of some ex traordinary disclosures touching the want of good faith displayed by the Colonial Department in particular, and by both the Home and the Colonial Secretaries per sonally, in their recent correspondence, or rather nego tiations with the Company. We have, on many for mer occasions, expressed a not very favourable opinion o f the good faith evinced by the Directors of this very Company, in their dealings with settlers and emigrants, whose purchases of lands, for any benefit they brought o them, or any equivalent which they yielded for their own good money, might just as well have been made for land in Abyssinia or the Khyber mountains. We are by no means prepared to say, that the New Zealand Company have ever expurgated :heir character from the imputations which have been cast upon it by so many luckless victims of the peculiar me thod, in times past, of selling lands which they had nut the means of delivering, because they never were in their authentioated and established possession. We can not see that any sort of reparation has yet been made to those martyrs to their own credulity and the puffery of the WAKEFIELD principle of making colonies pay their own expenses, who voyaged 12,000 miles out to a land of promise, and—if they did not die there—tra velled 12,000 miles home again, only to record, in their own experience, that they had been sold, if the lands had not been delivered. But when we iesi a meeting of so many gentlemen of mark and credit assembling to hear, and voting unanimously to confirm a report," in which they not only accuse the Govern ment of positive duplicity, but make out a case to show that, in these transactions with it, at least, they had to choose the alternative of profit with dishonour, by closing with the views of the Colonial Minister, or honour without profit, by persisting in vindicating their :awn claims, and the rights and the protection of the colonists. We must suppose that the present Directors of the New Zealand Company feel themselves strong in the moral justice as well as legal bearings of the case they have so well developed in the report which was read at the proprietary meeting in question. We might have been better pleased, to be sure, had Mr. SOA.MES, the Governor of the Company, been at his post, seeing that he was not exempted, among other influen tial authorities, from the bitter denunciations of deceived and defrauded purchasers)—instead of being " detained by a particular engagement." But there were Among other Members of Parliament, Lord INGESTRE, Mr. H. A. AGLIONBT, Mr. CHARLES BULLER, Mr. J. A. SMITH, Mr. S. MAJORIBANES, Mr. B. D. MANGLES besides Sir Jour/ PIRIE, Baronet, General BRIGGS: Captain NAIRN, Dr. EVANS, &c., present on this occa sion ; and the report of the Committee which was read undoubtedly must be taken as pledging all those parties to the same views as it announced of the deportment of Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM—and of the in capacity, misconduct, and absurdities of the late Go vernor FITZROY. It appears that the cause of Mr. C. BULLER'S deferring his motion relative to New Zealand, which would have brought the whole conduct of the Colonial Minister to the Company and to the colonists under the review of Parliament, was a suggestion con fidentially given by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in an interview which he had with Mr. BULLER about a week prior to the day for which this notice stood—that if it were, as a preliminary condi tion, withdrawn, the Government would be disposed to settle the disputes between it and the Company amicably —which it could not do, if it appeared to act under any stress or pressure—such as that of a pending motion for such a Committee of Inquiry. Mr. BULLER consented, had some personal conferences with Sir J. GRAHAM, and by that Minister was induced to submit the specific proposition he had tendered for the consideration of Government in writing, for the opinion of Lord STAN LEY. That proposition went on the basis of obviating all necessity for any fresh adjudication upon the mat ters immediately at issue, by constituting a new pro vince in New Zealand, which formed a part of the middle and a part of the more northern districts of the island, and vesting this in a new Company, in which the New Zealand Company should merge, under arrangements for the security of its present interests and property. thotiornia:rt, ob j ections The propositi on was di scussed largely b etween Sir J. GRARAM, e Aro. k B soo andLo t r o d p a S r T t c N u L I a E r Y ,who ug hhdetails , instructed Sir JAMES afterwards to inform Mr. BULLER. that he did not l oo k upon those objections as in • superable. This produced a second • written letter f rom Mr. CRARLES BULLER to Lord STANLEY, who—after the motion had been withdrawn, and the time for urging such matters with effect on the House of Commons was fast waning away—intimated to Mr. BULLER that Govern ment now found its objections to his propositions were insuperable This cavalier treatment is as much characteristic of Lord STANLEY (who never imagines that all the world should not stand still when the Colonial office is of opinion that it ought not to move), as the extraordinary account given by Dr. EvANS of Go►ernor Prznov's extra►a gancies in New Zealand is of Downing-street patronage pets. For all these matters we must refer the reader to our report. At parting we cannot help saying that the law of poetical justice has been well observed in this affair. If the New Zealand Company, at its outset, victimised emigrant yeomen with some little money and much less sagacity, the New Zealand Company (i. e., its Directors) has been absurdly victimised in its turn, by Ministers of some little sagacity, and no scruples. That Mr. CHARLES BULLER (" good, easy man 1") should have been deluded into postponing his motion by so notorious a political hocusser as Sir J. GRAHAM, is, however, marvellous to us, who held a very high opinion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's general shrewdness, as well as singular talent and ability. Another conflict is anticipated in Switzerland. It appears that the Ultra-montane party in Lucerne, under the influence of the Jesuits, meditates an attack on Argau, a neighbouring canton, which refuses to accede to their terms. Their object is to assist the insurgents at Freiamt, and overturn the existing Government of Argau. The Zurich Gdzate says 2,000 volunteers from Lucerne are ready to move upon the expediton. This movement has caused great excitement in some of the Protestant cantons, but up to the 31st ult. no col lision had taken place. According to intelligence from Madrid of the 30th ult. the excitement caused by the illegal proceedings against the press continued unabated, but the public peace bad not been disturbed. The Gazette publishes the treaty concluded between Spain and Morocco, signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the two countries and the British Consul, Mr. DRUMMOND HAY, as mediator. By this treaty the frontier of Ceuta, shall be re-esta blished such as it was conformably to the 15th article of the treaty of peace. The EMPEROR engages to pre vent the Moors on the frontier of Melilla, Penon, and Alhucema from molesting either the inhabitants of those places or the vessels approaching the coast. The QUERN arrived at Almunza on the 28th. and was to enter Valentia next day. The Three per Cents. closed at 321 for cash, and 33k at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 22 13-16 for cash, and 23} at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 8 at 60 days. The Paris papers contain long comments on the new treaty for the suppression of the slave trade ; but, with the exception of the Messager and Journal des Debats, they are of little importance. The former journal points out an error in the translation which relates to the right of search ; and states that, by the 10th article, it is abolished, and not suspended, as inferred from the text published by the London journals. " The conventions of 1831 and 1833," says that journal, "cannot be re established but by the previous concert and common consent of the two Governments; and in default of this common consent, they are, at the end of ten years definitively abrogated. This is what results from the very text of that article. As to Article 8, when the instructions annexed tq it shall have been published, it will be evident that they only go to regulate the execution of a principle of the right of nations, conformably to the constant practice of the French navy, to the precedents of our laws, and esta blished in the same form, in the same terms, by the official documents of the Government of the United States." The Chamber of Deputies had passed the Colonial Bill by a majority of 193 to 52, and also a second Bill for the introduction of free labourers into the Colonies by a still greater majority-215 to 20. The sum of 18,140,000 f. was vuttd for extraordinary works at Dun kirk, Grenoble, Lyons, and for the sea-ports of Brest, L'Orient, Rochfort, and Toulon.

BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY.. A special general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company took place on Saturday at the London terminus, for the purpose of con. sidering, in accordance with the standing orders of the House of Lords, the draft of a Bill fer making a railway from the Brighton and Chichester Railway to Portsmouth, with a branch to Fareham.

Resolved,—" That the Directors be, and they are hereby em powered, to make such alterations and amendments in the said Bill as they may think fit, or be advised, or as Parliament may require, and to affix the common seal of the Company thereto if necessary." The meeting then broke up. MONEY and CO-UMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales.

GEORGE STANSBURY, COMPOSER AND VOCALIST.—Another name is added to the dramatic obituary by the decease of this clever and well-known artist, who expired on Tuesday night, at his house, Melina-place, Lambeth, at the age of forty_four, after a painful illr.ess, which terminated in dropsy. Stansbury was a native of Bristol, where his father kept a musical repository. LADY HESTER STANHOPE.—Lady Hester Stan. hope is a name tolerably familiar to most readers, but of the extraordinary individual to whom it belonged, only the most marvellous and untrustworthy narratives have hitherto been made public. Yet few characters (and as suredly no female) of modern times present such re markable features. public curiosity, which has be en so completely baffled resp e cting her, is now about to be fully satisfied. Th e lif e o f the eccentric, yet noble minded niece of Willi em Pitt, and grand-daughter of the Earl of Chatham, is about to be published from ma terials of singular interest, preserved by a gentleman who resided with her Ladyihip for many years in her retreat on Mount Lebanon, enjoying her confidence and her friendship, and, therefore, intimately acquainted with all her affairs. We are led to expect a work which cannot fail of attracting general attention —as much from the curious picture it will convey of life in the East (of which no other European had such experience) as from the publication of Lady Hester Stanhope's opinions and reminiscences respecting some of the noblest families in England, and the state of parties, of which she ob tained a thorough knowledge during the life-time of her celebrated uncle.

HER MAJESTY'S BALL COSTUME (Continued from our Morning Edition of Saturday.) The Polonaise, the first dance of the evening, was led off by The Queen and the Duke de Nemours The Duchess of Nemours and Prince Albert, followed by numerous couples of the distinguished company present. After the Queen's second minuet, the Countess of Jersey's " Minuet d'Exaude" was formed in the Ball-room, and danced by the following ladies and gentlemen : Lady Mary Howard Earl of Munster Lady Louisa Fitzroy Mr. O'Brien Lady Blanche Somerset Hon. Mr. Leveson Lady Rachel Russell Lord Brooke Lady Caroline Gower Lord Cantilupe Lady Alexandrine Vane Lord Neville Lady Elizabeth de Burgh Viscount Lascelles Lady Elizabeth Grosveeor Lord Keane Lady Clementine Villiers Earl of Euston Lady Adele Villiers Baron de Talleyrand Lady Lucy Herbert Lord Mandeville Lady Charlotte Herbert Hon. Mr. Cholmondeley Miss Clive Viscount Dupplin Miss Percy Mr. Clive. The Countess of Jersey's Minuet de la Cour was danced by Lady Clementine Villiers Viscount Mandeville Lady Adele Villiers Monsieur de Talleyrand. Lady Catherine Cust Lord Cranley Lady Lucy Herbert Mr. Robert Clive The Marchioness of Breadalbane's Strathspey followed, in which the following ladies and gentlemen joined : Lady Caroline Gower Mr. Grant Hon. Eleanor Stanley Mr. Campbell, of Islay Lady Mary Campbell Mr. De Bathe Miss Edith Campbell Mr. Gordon Cumming Lady Jane Charteris Earl of Gifford Miss Baillie Mr. Russell The Countess of Chesterfield's minuet was the next dance, and was danced by the following party : The Countess of Chesterfield Baron de Talleyrand Lady Cremorne Lord Cranley The Countess of Craven Lord Cantilupe Mrs. John Stanley Mr. Levison Hon.

The other couples being Marchioness of Douro Pr ince Ed. of Saxe Weimar Duchess of Buccleuch Marquis of Douglas Lady Cremorne Earl of Wilton Duchess of Roxburghe Marquis of Granby And two other couples. Her Majesty and Prince Albert and their Illustrious guests, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours and the Prince of Leinin gen, retired at half-past past two o'clock, from the State-rooms, and the general company took their departure. Thus closed this magnificent fete, which completely, as it were, resuscitated a past age, so perfectly did the aristocracy of the country, who were her Majesty's guests on this occasion, identify themselves with the spirit and intention of their Sovereign. The lapse of three generations might be forgotten, and the Court of George the Second seemed actually again to exist. Every dress was a complete study of historical costume, and the effect of the whole was as interesting and magnificent as can well be imagined. A comparison may naturally be made between this second Bel Costume and that of the reign of Edward, given by her Majesty three years ago; and in spite of the gay and brilliant costume of an age of chivalry, knights in flashing armour— robes and mantles of velvet—waving plumes and surcoats, glit tering with the emblazoning of arms--in spite of all the variety of a romantic and picturesque age—yet such was the unity of effect—such the admirable manner in which all her Majesty's guests had obeyed their instructions, not only in the costume itself, but also in a measure in adopting the " manner of the time," that this Fete, in its grave and formal magnificence, may well take its place by the side of its gay and brilliant pre decessor, and leave in demist to which the preference should be given. The invitations numbered between fourteen and fifteen hun dred.
