The Horse Railway is to have a fair trial. All honour to Birkenhead for having the spirit and enlightenment to introduce this great im provement. We shall not be long without it on this side of the Mersey. It only requires to be seen in operation to convince the most sceptical of its practical value. The Birkenhead Commis sioners, to-day, will all but unanimously agree to accept Mr. Train's liberal offer to make the great but by no means doubtful experiment. By the sudden death of Capt. Leicester Vernon, M.P., a vacancy is created in the representation of Berks. The late member was a Conservative. He contested ,the seat unsuccessfully in 1857, and was first elected for it in May last. It is a great fact that the Post-office could afford to do all the work it now does for two thirds of the present charge for postage; or, to put the same fact in another light, to do one-third more work for the money ! It is clear, there fore, that the public are entitled to greater accommodation from this department of the State, and that there ought to be no complaints of insufficient pay to those who have to do the work. This is brought out in the last issued report of the Postmaster General. There is now to be a a special investigation of the whole system, and hereafter we may expect a report on the defects of this most important branch of the public service. How is it that unendowed Dissenters and Roman Catholics make such head against the Church of England, in spite of all her, material advantages ? All are professedly engaged in one work,—the invasion of one common foe,—and the same weapons for the warfare are patent to both ; but the Church is outstripped by the sects. How is this ? We think a solution of the question is afforded by a careful consideration of the pastoral letter just addressed by the Bishop of London to the laity of his diocese. It announces as plainly as possible the failure of a society with a high-sound ing name, and under the highest auspices, whose object is to promote the sub-division of parishes into districts, and the erection of more churches, with their full appointments, endowments, &c. The London Diocesan Church Building Society has collected for that purpose, from among two mil lions and a half inhabitants, in one year, the very inconsiderable sum of £4,871! What could be more significant ? The means are not adapted to the end. We must have "churches" 'just as we must have three-deckers—but if our lanes and alleys are to be invaded, and the masses to be successfully gained over, we must also have a flotilla of gnnboats to push up into these narrow creeks where the " church and steeple" is alto gether unavailing. The home missionary enter prise, which has been so successfully plied by sectaries, is the proper- work of the Church. She, of all others, is best able to organise and carry it out effectually; and until this great strategic truth is acknowledged and - acted upon, the Church will only continue to loose ground as the Church of the people. A new and ingenious mode of estimating the amount of Parliamentary representation which each county and borough ought to possess, has just been propounded by Mr. David Chadwick. He would take two elements—the amount of the population, and the annual value of the property assessed to the Poor-rate ; and adding these together, people and pounds, by an arithmetical process, he elicits what he calls a mean or com posite number, which he calls a fair index of the right of each county and borough to representa tion. It were idle to occupy space in exposing the superfluous attempt at an amount of precision which, if it could be attained, could never be maintained—to say nothing of the erroneous prin ciples upon which it is based. Last night the Commons returned to their legis lative labours, refreshed, it is to be hoped, by the brief repose afforded them by the Easter recess. The Liberal member for Salford again reminded the House of the existence of "the little Reform Bill," by intimating his intention to move its reference to a select committee. That redoubt able champion of naval reform, Sir Chas. Napier, again had an opportunity of ventilating his favourite subject, in which he was kept in countenance by another brave " salt," Sir J. D. H. Elphinstone. Mr. Lindsay opposed Sir Charles' views, and complimented Louis Napoleon, whom he believed to be too enlightened to wish to go to war with this country,—an argu ment which we fear will not carry with it much weight. Sir M. Seymour adverted to the difficulties of manning the navy. The management of our dockyards is admittedly bad; and the claims of the reserve captains for increased pay seems to be well founded. Several members took part in the discussion of the naval estimates, which occupied the rest of the sitting. A difference or dispute of a monetary kind exists between the discount houses and the Bank of England. The former foolishly complain because the Bank will not supply them with means whenever they have gone beyond their own resources. The Bank prefers discounting for the public instead of for the bill brokers—and, imme diately the screw is tightened by raising the rate, the bill brokers cry out that they ought to be served first. A simultaneous, if not a combined efibrt, has been discovered among these . 'private discounters to produce such a. state of .embarrass ment in the Bank circulation -. .as would enable them to realise, for' a tiine- at least, a high rate of interest. This has been attempted by these parties procuring, in one way or another, about two or three millions sterling in bank notes, and locking them up! The moment seized for commencing this = Unreasonable and most censurable struggle with the Bank was that at which the public were most likely to feel the inconvenience of such an artificial pressure, but for the present its failure may be considered com plete. The question of the annexation of Savoy con tinues greatly to agitate the people of Switzerland. They not unnaturally look to England to aid them in the preservation of their independerice and neutrality. All parties seem to have sunk their differ ences in ord er t o un it e th e i r strength in effecting this object. __The_ presence of Sir Robert Peel in Geneva has - been seized upon as, an opportunity for giving expression to their sense of the importance of interesting' England on their behalf. He has just been waited upon there by a deputation representing all parties, who, after presenting Sir Robert with a cup and rifle, exchanged with him the most cordial expressions. In Nice, the popular voting is said to be all but unanimous in favour of annexation to France. The result would be known last night. The revolution in Sicily is increasing, and the country is swarming with armed men. In Naples another popular demonstration has occurred, and the town of 4.yersa is in a state of siege. THERE is 'a.question thought to be a crucial one; which it was once - much the fashion for latitudi narians and men of the laissez-faire type, to throw at .the heads of the advocates of religious safeguards. It was a sharp decision of the whole matter when these conservators of old-fashioned expedients were trippingly asked whether they really supposed that truth was weak enough to need the support of legislative enactments and provisions ? Every one knows that the true way of escaping the dilemma which an answer to this question, whether in the affirmative or the nega tive, would have inevitably involved, was to change the issue all together. The real ques tion was, not as to the inherent force or beauty or value of truth, but as to the tendency of man kind through evil or perverse habits to deprave and oppress it. It would be no reply to an alleged necessity of laws or police, that morality was a strong and divine thing, able to stand by itself. For though morality has an inherent and unchangeable power of its own, legislators have found by bitter experience that interest and pas sion have a great power over the hearts of men. And so, though the system of legislative enact ment in support of religion,—well meant in its time,—has been eagerly broken through, yet the rupture has, in reality, been effected upon an entirely different plea from this. It is from the assumed uncertainty of truth, and because legal enactment involved a choice of what might turn out not to be truth, and which it was certain a large proportion of the nation did not think to be truth, that the law has in a great measure shrunk from an odious responsibility. We think we see a parallel to all this in the adroit attempt which is being made in many quarters—as for instance at Manchester the other day—to impale upon a dilemma those moderate politicians who cannot but look with apprehen sion upon the proposed disturbance of the basis of political power in this country. If, it is asked, we fear danger to our institutions from impending changes, then what sort of institutions do we confess ours to be ? But here we have in like manner to change the issue. The question is not as to the worth and fitness of our institutions, but as to the expediency of giving . a preponderance of power to men whose interests or passions may at some period be impelled to distort or subvert them? And, to complete the parallel, we may with the same confidence assert, that if this excess of poli tical power be handed over to one class in the State, the plea for effecting the concession will be, not that our institutions are so good as to be unassailable, but that this class has the right of numberg to their entire control, without question as to the probable way in which they will exer cise it. ` Now, both as reformers and as patriots— characters which all sensible and true-hearted Englishmen are anxious to assume—we should do well to pause on the threshold of coming changes, and inquire into the nature of that body-politic which is in some way being put upon its trial. We shall then have no pre tence of ignorance left us, as to what any violent and fundamental transition really means. If we are told, then, of a transfer ence of the basis of pOlitical power, to be gradually accomplished by steps on the way to universal suffrage, it is useful to recollect where political power may be said under our present condition to reside. Now, the fact is, that what ever else • may be disputed, this at least is undeniable, that no class in this country does at the present time hold in its hands political supremacy. The freedom of discussion among us, the ceaseless clash and whirl of opinion, the mul tiplicity of lights and shades in which every question . is viewed and presented, the eager and exciting canvass which goes on everywhere for all sorts of theories, and contrivances, and even mental and social peculiarities, all this eagerness, and vitality, and confusion' and difference, testify that every class of society is surrounded by an atmosphere of liberty, where it breathes freely, feels no undue pressure from the one beside or above it, and is not hemmed in by any restraints which itself has not, of its own will and for itself, created. There are two things, each of which must in its own defence set shackles upon the expredsion of general opinion ; a tyranny from above and a tyranny from below. Now whatever may be said as to the tendency of modern society, or whether there is an unfair and vicious tendency at all, it will not be said, even by a Birmingham Radical, that that ten dency is more in the way of the first tyranny than of the second. The man who dreams of any application of fOrce by what are called the governing classes of society upon those who are more numerous but less susceptible of combination than themselves, may very fitly take up his parable with the respectable old ladies who are still found now and again warning the strong spiriti of a material age against the return of the tortures of the thumb-screw and the boot. As for ourselves, we are inclined to think that the existing relations of society, could they be kept upon the whole at their present level and in their present interdependence, afford a sufficient field for indulgence, of all the reasonable aims and aspirations, whether moral or political, which civilisation originates or encourages. If this be the case, it is impossible to suppose that there exists any undue pressure of power upon any single class of mind represented throughout the whole social range. The most serious duty, therefore, which at this time presses upon the reformer and the statesman, is to keep the social and political supremacy out of the hands of any one class,—to leave us still the opportunity of rivalry and com petition, and to parties the healthy alternations of success - and defeat. If the basis of political power at present be a broad one, and nothing less - than spread over the whole framework of g oe le , thpn, uthors ',cm 4,11 r of fundamental . change, they must mean the violent di sru pti on and concentration of that controlling element, and the subjugation of every national type, and every special interest but one. In which case it would just amount to this—that the cycle has lrought round again the national contest for fiberty and independence.

LADY STAMFORD IN THE HUNTING FIELD. —A orrespondent of a Leicestershire paper send the fol bwing :—" I am an admirer of feminine equestrianism. 'inch had been told me of Lady Stamford's excelling in fie art, but till the other day I never had an opportunity (f . seeing the countess on horseback. The hoands met it Wymeswold. Lord and Lady Stamford went to the iteet in a carriage and four, took luncheon at the fincipal inn, and mounted—Lady Stamf or d on a ra th er ' ain brown horse. Before the hounds were well in Ella's (orse a fox bolted, and they were laid on immediately. luring the circuit, which was exactly that of a steeple ease, and rim in steeplechase time, I had the good frtude; . to be very near to the countess, and come gently in a very forward place—in fact, close to the bunds all the way, and I had, therefore, an excellent oportunity of observing that lady's riding. The country, a all old fox hunters know is difficult to cross. There \ere two brooks, and at feast fifty strong fences to be lapt--eight or nine of them regular posers. It was a yrfect treat and a lesson too, to see the countess take tese fences. The hand and seat were perfection. There as no bustling bravado preparation for them ; calmly, cacefully, and always with a word of cheer, Lady tamford put her steed to the le a p, an d showed judgment in handing him over that I have never :en surpassed even by the most accomplished horseman. t one fence I fully apprehended a baulk, a detour, or a ill, but it : was cleared without at all disturbing the luanimity equilioise of Lady Stamford, though - tveral of the rougher'igx refused it. There were two trious falls in the run—a proof that the line was a ifficult one. I have seen many clever horsewomen p ing on well in the Quorne count r y—th e D uc h ess o f Pmerset particularly—but I never saw any lady so irfectiv mistress of the art of equitation as Lady famfoid ; and I 'shall always think it a piece of good rtune that I happened to be one in the first flight om liday last, thus enabling me to witness what I had on heard of, but never fulle credited."

Mr. M'Consticic took the oaths and his seat for the county of Londonderry, bi the reom of Sir R. Ferguson, deceased. The House of Commons met after the recess, and proceeded to business with a few preliminaries. Mr. MASSEY gave notice that, in the event of the Reform Bill being read a second time, he should move that it be referred to a select committee. On the motion to go into a... Committee of Supply, Sir C. NAPIEEL called attention to the management of the navy, and went through its details, contending that they were Bachand all imperfee t and faulty. He approved of butone thing, that we had ten sail of the line in the channel fleet ; for the rest he found fault with the reserve which had been greatly over stated ; with the arrangements of Greenwich Hospital, which were. socking ; and that the recommendations of the• Com mission generally had not been attended to. The con - seguenee was, that the former confidence of victory was no lager felt by the British 'sailor and..l4 the country. Sir C. ELPHINSTONE urgeliehe olefins of the res.lri - e Captains, who were de . :vc, , cl Of the L.crease'pay to which they were entitled. These veterans were, for the most part, seventy years of age, and had yet, by a mere quibble, been deprived by a recent decision of the Admiralty of their just claims. Mr. LlNnsXt poMtefi out the enormous cost to the country of the half-pay of the reserve and retired officers. It was high time that the subject of the reserves was carefully enqnired into. He quoted the enormous increase year by year in the navy estimates, which would be still further increased if the recommendations of Sir C. Napier were attended to. Whom were they arming against ? Let them be honest, and admit that they were arming against France. England was afraid of France, and Franc* was afraid of England ; and two countries -were arming and spending money one against another. All this was unworthy of civilised nations, and he thought that assurances Should be made on the part of both countries that they had no reason to fear each other. The Emperor of the French was, he was persuaded, too enlightened to wish to go to iwar with this country. Even if it was necessary to keep up our present immense force, he believed we could do this at less cost than at present. He quoted, at length, the opinions of the com , mittee, to show the savings that might be effected in the several departments. There ought to be a Tar more searching enquiry into all points connected with the dockyards. Sir M. SEII/OUR pleaded the cause of the widows and orphans of seamen, who "were often reduced to the utmost distress, and admitted that the management of our dockyards required revision; declaring, at the same time, that the quality of the work in the dockyards was of the best kind. Our arrange ments for manning the navy ware very imperfect, and on all occasions where a large force was wanted, we had fallen below our requiremen's. He pointed out the much larger forces at our disposal during the great continental war, and contended that our present means for raising men, both by sea and land, w,re insufficient, and often inoperative. Sir J. PAEINGTON thought that the claims of the captains on the reserved list were not destitute of foundation ; and hoped that the matter would be brought regularly before the House, as they were not in the position in which they were intended to be by the order in council. He trusted that a more satis factory system of promotion on retirement would before long be adopted. Sir F. BARING said he had himself brought up the order in question, and felt obliged to say that it never was intended to bear the construction pat upon it by captains in reserve. Mr. Hektsv called attention to the serious question of the deficiency of timber in our dockyards, which did not obtain the attention it deserved. The concurring testimony of many witnesses, all in the employment of the Government, proved that the timber was not sufficient in quantity, nor properly seasoned. On the failure of the materials on which our ships were constructed might depend the naval supremacy of the country. Mr. WILLIAms protested against the extravagance of our naval expenditure. Sir H. LEEks advocated the claims of the post captains on the retired list. He was satisfied that many of these officers were at that moment perfectly fit for duty. Admiral WALCOTT likewise supported the claims of these officers. Mr. BZNTINCK said that the faults of our naval a4ininistia tiontvere more in the system than in the indivichial who pre sided over it. It was most essential, at the present moment, that the strictest vigilance should be kept upon our dock yard expenditure. If the system which there prevailed was adopted in private business the Bank of England would not keep it afloat for six months. The House then went into Committee of Supply, and the rest of the evening was occupied in the discussion of the Naval Estimates. The House adjourned at ten minutes past twelve. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. BANRRIIPTCY COIIII.I, YESTERDAY.—W. M. Bell, a Scotch draper, appeared before Mr. Commissioner Perry yesterday, on his last examination, but his balance-sheet not having been filed the case was adjourned to the Ist of May.

APPEAL CASE AT THE SESSIONS, YESTERDAY. , --The criminal business of the sessions being concluded, the Recorder proceeded to hear an appeal case, in which the overseers of the parish of Clytha, in Montgomeryshire, were the appellants, and the overseers of the parish of Liverpool the respondents. Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Temple -appeared for the respondents, and Mr. Deighton for the appellants.

"LURLINE," AT THE THEATRE it OYAt Last night Mr. Wallace's opera "Liirlifie ' " of Which we gave the plot do our print of yesterday, was to a house crowded in every part, and gave general eetis - , faction. - The music is of a very flowing and pleaslo character, and increases in variety and interest as it reaches the third act. Several of the songs, which have been made popular through the intervention of the music shops and the newspapers, were encored ; but beyond a generally favourable opinion, we must reserve special criticism till we have heard it a second time, on Thursday next. The instrumentation is rich and har - monious. This evening Meyerbeer's opera, "Dinorah , " will be repeated, and we present our readers with the plot, hithe words of Mr. Chad) , - " A year before the action of the opera is supposed to begin, occurs the anniversary of the Pardon,' or annual fete, of Plo6rmil (a village in Brittany), when all the inhabitants go in procession to the chapel to pal homage to the Holy Virgin. On this day a marriage i 5 to take place between Hoel, a goatherd, and Dinerah , his affianced. A tempest, however, arises, which devas tates-the village and lays the house and property of bride and bridegroom in ruins. Ho'l, who. has -hoard the story of the hidden treasure from Tonick, an old wizard, being indisposed to put much faith in the co-existence of love and poverty, departs in company with the wizard and undergoes the necessary probation. UnfortunatelY , Tonick dies a short time before the expiration of the year, and leases Hoe! master of the secret, with tho additional knowledge of the penalty that awaits the first who lays hands on the treasure. Although not profcs - . sionally a wizard, just as mercenary and selfish as his "former companion, Hoel is determined to find a go between, and thus to accomplish his object with irnpunit , As - Dinorah, "the. beloved," must hot remain either pauper or spinster, somebody—no matter who—min t suffer. Accordingly Hoel returns to Ploermel, and pr attentions to ajcertain Corentin, a vagrant musician, distinguished alike for cupidity' and cowardice, who i 6 at length persuaded to take part in the enterprise. Tho year being nearly up,' they set off to the appointe d place' immediately. Meanwhile Dinorah, ignorant of the cause of her lover's absence, and believing he has forsaken : her, goes mad, and passes her time running about the country in search of the faithless swain' accompanied by a pet goat, to lose and recapture which. is her solitary occupation. However remote the dese rt spot which the gnomes (or Korigans,' to employ the Breton idiom) have selected for their abode, and in tlr recesses of which they have hidden the treasure, it is' not impervious to the wandering Dinorah and het goat ; for while Hod is endeavouring to disarm the trembling Corentin of his fears and include hire '° perform his part in their joint enterprise, she appears the "val maudit" (as the French a u th ors d es i gna te L he mystic haunt) and singing a few sn a t c h es of the og`Ta —including the minous words Av, t r e s „ preime r qui Mucha mournt o flans l'ennee' (` the first who touched, the treasure died within the year') apprizes Corentin of his danger. An altercation between Hoel and hid intended victim ensues, during which Dinorah, T oeing after her goat among the rocks and precipices, much to the anxiety of Hoe!, who has at once recognised his mistress, ,and becomes doubly concerned when Corm-tie , refusing to proceed, suggests the mad lady as his substi tute. At length—comforting himself with the cone' - tion that it is no Dinorah whom he has seen, but a. phantom despatched by evil spirits to lure him tO destration—Hoel consents; when suddenly a thunder storm explodes, and the scene becomes one of dire and inextricable confusion. The goat is _seen approaching the bridge across the chasm. The sluices underneath having burst, the' waters of the torrent precipitat e themselves tumultuously' into the ravine. Nothing, daunted, however, Dinorah rushes towards the bridge , which gives way beneath her, and she falls into the abyss. Whereupon Hod, forgetful of everything else- - of the long-sought treasure, of Corentin, and even of his own precious person—flies to the rescue of his belove&" and -the -curtain- falls upon one of the most imposing spectacles ever presented on the stage. " The rest may be told in a sentence. The anniversar3' of the Pardon ' has again come round, - and the inhabitants of Ploermel (this time uninjured' by .6° storm) are preparing to celebrate it in the usual 'OP' Hoe! has succeeded in rescuing Dinorah from destruc tion. By degrees Dinorah, struck with one familiar object after another; regains her faculties, awakening slowly, as if from a dream, till she ultimately recorig s her lover; and now, to the -- soothing strains of the Ave Maria,' the two, walking beneath a dais °r flowers, accompany the procession of the pilgrimag e ; to the church, where their anion is ratified en' solemnised."
