In February, 1848, she saw all her household gods shi vered on her hearth, and was the only member of the house of Orleans whose conduct can be mentioned with eulogy, for, armed with a mother's love, and the sacred lEgis of maternal tenderness. she braved the fury of the frantic mob, and dared to claim her son's inheritance, whilst the gallant Princes of the house of Orleans, like Sir John Cope, at Dunbar, were endeavouring to retain their ' hail skin,' and when they were asked where they had left their wives and children, 'Faith, said he, I dinna ken, For I lett them a' in the mornin'.' The exiled Princes have done much by their decent de meanour in adversity to retrieve their characters, nor is this a proper moment to reproach them for their pusillani mity ; but when reference is made to the high-minded, gallant, chivalrous Duchess of Orleans, it behoves the journalist to mark the contrast of her conduct with that of the male members of her house."

From Washington we learn that no define' tive action has yet been had in either branch of Conerese; with regard'to allowing extta compensation to the Collins line of steamers. It is probable. however. that Conerese will eventually throw out the propositions for the estab' lishment of the Galway and Ebony lines, and afford the means of keeping up the Collins' line, which is alreadi established.

If I am well informed, reports are daily submitted to Louis Napoleon himself of the proceedings of these I :ggents. It will be remembered that it was the Catholic party that in 1831 was the principal means of separating Belgium from Holland. It is that same party which is now the most active in getting up a feeling in favour of the French alli ance, and the clergy are almost all indefatigable agents of the Elysee." Belgium is adding 4,000 men to the army, and strength ening her defences. The Cass and Buchanan men in Philadelphia appear 0 have had rather an exciting time, on the occasion of their assembling in Cou n ty C onvent i on, f or the purpose o f nominating delegates to the Baltimore Convention. Kossuth is again represented as extremely ill, although he managed to make a speech to the citizens of Columba* Ohio, on Thursday. The Ohio State Senators have sub' scribed five dollars each to the Hungarian fund. Recent advices from New Mexico represent the Indian% as getting rather the best of the U.

Mr. AGLIONBY moved the second reading of the En franchisement of Copyholds Bill, which was identical with the bill of last session, framed in accordance with the once conveyed to the fire-brigade statio n , recommendation of the Real Property C omm i ss i oner s i n •cenrt.

Upon the consideration of the question of privilege-- the notice of motion served upon the Serjeant-at-Arms, at the suit of a witness who had been committed by the chairman of the St. Albans Election Committee, Lard JOHN RUSSELL moved that the Serjeant be directed to plead to and defend the action.—After some remarks by Mr. Hume and Mr. Roebuck, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the power had been exercised by the chairman of the committee under a statute, and the only question was whether he had duly exercised this statutory jurisdiction. If not, it would be unjust to debar a party from seeking redress, not against the house, but against an individual member.—The motion was agreed to. DEFEAT AND RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS THE MILITIA BILL I On bringing u the report upon the Local Militia Act, other night as to the pioposec basis of alocal militia, with modifications The of said, was to obtain a considerable number of men, to be trained for a small portion of the year, and so far dis ciplined as to supply the place of regular troops by I._ A. • PALMERSTON thought it of great importance that a bill of this kind should be founded upon a right prin 7 T. eipie. it appeared to him that there was an essential eliirc-s-ca..c. ot-vr.ora Mato bill Ulla iI cub stance and provisions. The main point was whether toeing an essenttat distinction between the two which had been lost sight of by Lord J. Russell. What he conceived to be requisite was this. Our geographical position exposed us to the possibility of being invaded by a formidable force, and the changes wrought by steam navigation rendered the danger more imminent on the breaking out of a war. How was this to be provided against ? By having, in time of peace, a considerable force organised, drilled, armed, and equipped. which could he raised at the shortest possible notice. The local militia was not such a force ; though the noble lord had thrown overboard the local militia acts, and called that a local militia which would not be local. It was better in times of peace to have an adequate force as a reserve for our regular army, and, having got it, to keep it. What the country wanted was a regular militia—a force which had existed nearly 200 years, whereas a local militia was an occasional force for a par ticular exigency. Lord Palmerston summed up the ob jections to a regular militia in one sentence : they resolved themselves, he said, into this—that the English were cheats, the Scotch cowards, and the Irish traitors. If our own countrymen, he continued, cannot be trusted, let us send for a Russian force or an Austrian garrison. He was of a different opinion. He believed that if the government appealed to the people, and stated to them their danger and what was at stake, they would have a force which would show to other countries we were prepared to defend the land we live in. He moved to insert in the report, after the word " amend," the words " and consolidate;" and to omit the word "local" before the word " militia." Mr.; M. Ginsox protested against the diversion of the surplus revenue from the remission of taxes, which stood in the way of the employment of labour. What was the reason assigned for this measure ? That there might be circumstances which would render it obligatory upon this country to attempt to maintain the balance of power. This plea implied that we may be called upon to become aggressive, and he was adverse to that policy. lf, how ever, he was hound to vote for either proposition, he should prefer that of the government; but he believed the panic under which they acted had been got up for political pur poses. Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the balance of 'rower, all such questions resolved themselves into the question of national independence. In the argu ment of Lord Palmerston there VIM a point upon which
