Towards the end of the afternoon the scene of
excitement changed to Westminster. The scone in
the Palace Yard and in all the precints of the Houses
of Parliament was very animated. Tbe polioe found
themselves almost powerless in their attempts to
keep • clear passage for members as they alighted
from every kind of vehicle, from the gorgeous
chariot, such as the Conservative leader drives, to
the seedy cab that looks as if it had for
the nonce ventsred out of the obscurity of

on his arm.; Lord Clarence Paget, who sauntered
down with that peculiarly jaunting air for which he
Is famous ; sod Lord John Manners who should be
called John de Daunt. Mr. Disraeli drove down
aboat terentv•five minutes puit four, as usual accom-
panied by Mrs. Disraeli; and about ten minutes
later Lord Palmerston came down in his one while-
horsed brougham. Mr. Disraeli was for more loudly
cheered than the Premier. Indeed the latter, for
about the first time in his life, might have heard
hisses mingled with the cheers. It was clear that
the people had not forgotten that anti climax of a
week before —that intimati in that if C-pen hagen
were bombarded, if its inhabitants were massacred,
if King Christian were made • prisoner, then
• Cabinet Council would be called to consider what
should be isone.
"A well ticketed house" said a friend inside,
before the public business began. The phrase took
one aback, at first, but when you look to verify it,
you saw the proofs ow every bench in the tickets
by which members pestilent at prayers bad retained
their seats, and had then gone out to snatch • hasty
and an early dinner before the debate began. Among
the peers present was the Poreigu B.cretary, who
took his seat in the dark gallery under the clock.
Hie lordship soon had an opportunity of enjoying
himself, for hardly had he entered when Mr.
Disraeli poured in • merciless tire upon him for
indiscretion, for • restless, irritating policy, and
every fault and folly you can well nigh conceive in
minister or statesman. I don't know what Earl
Russell thought, but his face was lighted up with
the most intense enjoyment. You would have
thought that a succession of capital jokes was being
made for the special entertainment of the small
gentleman with the white waistcoat. He smiled,
and smiled again, and hardly ceased to smile daring
the whole attack. It is said to have been • part of
Spartan training, that their youth should put on
smiling faces under the severest torture. I don't
know, however, that it was torture here.
The Ministerial cue seemed to be indifference and
conteln ?t, with • touch of ridicule during all this
diatribe. It was twenty minutes to five o'clock
when Mr. Disraeli rose, and be spoke for two hours
and three quarters. I may say at once, both for his
and Mr. Gladstone's orations, that they were disap-
pointing. There was too much detail, there were
too many quotations and reference to blue-books.
When all sour power of epitomising lands you in a
speech over eight columns long, your hope of keeping
up excitement in the auditory most he feeble—it is
well, indeed, if they keep awake. The leader of the
Opposition gave us little of the keen mecum and the
happy phrase which is as effectual for illustration as
an initial letter on an etching. On the other hand,
Mr. Gladstone, who had to travel over much the
same ground, gave none of thorns blinding, dueling
flashes which seem to scorch an antagonist, and
expose all the weak places in his argument To put

lake were both dry and dull. General Peel made •
much better speech the preceding week in denying
the alleged deletioration in the breed of Irish
racehorses. The Lord Advocate's rising was
the signal for that general hum which betokens
genera indifference to what such a speaker
on such a subject might or could say. Lord
Stanley was the only speaker who lifted the debate
from an atmosphere of blue-books. What • pity
that one who can be so logical and can speak so
readily should have so weak • voice and so thick an

It cannot of course be expected that I should give
you even the outline of a Parliamentary survey of
the past week ; but I ma a remark that never in the
memory of the oldest lobby lounger was there so
much uncertainty respecting a great division as that
whieh prevailed during the week with regard to last
nishles. In the bestiiming of the week some of the
Liberal papers gave the Government a majority of
'25; but this number the Tirstes on the day previous
to the last nicht of battle, reduced it to 4 Itwas well
kg own that Ministers would have • majority of hods
English and Sootch members; hater strong lathe feel-
ing in Ireland against the present Government that it
was supposed no Irish member would risk his seat
to venture to vote for their retention of office. As
therefore might be expected the majority of 18
has thrown the admirers of Earl Russell's policy
is:to ecstaciet of delight.
On Saturday week last Lord Palmerston attended
• banquet at Trinity House, of which, sines the
death of Prince Albert, he has been the master. At
dinner he was as fresh and as juvenile as ever. He
seemed to have entirely recovered from his late
wrestle with that old foe who seems to have a
special delight in crippling statesmen. He chatted
and joked with the Prince of %'. ales who eat on his
right just as though he had nothing whatever to do
with an Administration threatened with • vote of
censure from Parliament. It is the facility for
throwing off anxiety, which hes made the
ectrogenarian Premier younger than any other man
of 60. What • contrast between him and Mr.
Gladatone, wbo, "trickled o'er with the pale cast of
thought," satiating his food as though the dainty fare
which the elder brethren had placed before him
was no more than the commonest joint at a chop-
house. Lord Palmerston always " cuts the chop"
as soon as his day's work is finished—and you soe
bins an easy, jolly, airy old gentleman who knows
bow to put every one in good temper with
himself Bo on this occasion. He laughed himself
at his own jolres, every body else should, including
the Prince of Wales Even the Chancellor of lb.
Exchequer almost forgot, for once, that he was •
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the disciple of Sir
Robert Peel, the originator of the commercial treaty.
and the author of eight budgets. It is impoesible to
help liking a man that makes you like yourself, and
I fancy that, if the bitterest leader-writer in Radical
or Tory paper were to come in contact with
the man they have united to abuse, they would be
unable to resist the fascination exercised by that
model of • fins, genial cld English gentleman,
Henry Temple, Viscount Pahneraton.
' One of the latest on dies is that the Speaker st
the close of the present Parliament will be" pitch-
forked" into the tipper House as Baron Mallon,
which nice little borough of Lord Pitswilliam's
L he represented for some years, or as Bartle
°injustice, that tide being the name of his seat.
• There will not be that regret for big loss ea Insist' for his
, predecessor. Mr. Deonison has not, it must be con-
! reseed, made a good speaker. He has not possessed
that command over the House which Mr. Lefevre
6 bad; and hon. and turbulent members have done
, that in the present Parliament which would never
, bays been tolerated by the present Lord Eversley.
"the honourable and onerous post will probably
I be made the object of a party fight in the new

excitement by the report that a young woman named
Dinah Croes, who with her mother and sisters have for'

committed suicide by drowing in the raver Stour. The•
report unhappily was too true. It ap,cars that the
unfornuate young woman returned home between 10
and 11 o'clork, and proceeded to her bedroom, where
she took off her watch, brooch, and n. ckt.e, placing
them on the dressing-table in an handkerchief Sr

SF ETTISRU BY. —The annieenary services rm.
sernoratiye of the opening of Spettisbery church
were bold on Wednesday, the 6th inst. The seared
building was very beautifully ornamented for the
omission, wreaths of flowers and fern being wound
round the pillars, and various devices formed of
leaves and rows were placed against the walls and
at the back of the Communion table. Divine
service in the morning commenced shortly after 11
o'clock, the clergymen present being the Rev. H. H.
Visaed, rector ; The Rey. R. R. Watts, curate of
Chaslarn ; Rev. J. R. Q iirk, rector of Blandford ;
Rev. Mortimer Heath, rector of Higher Lytahet ;
Rev. T. Pearce rector of Horde.; and the Rev.
H. W. Guy, recia of Clenstone. Morning prayers
were read by the rector ; the first lemon by the Rev.
T. Pearce. and the second by the Rev. Mortimer
Heath. The Commandments and Gospel for the
day by the Rev. J. R. Qoirk, and the Espirito by
the Rev. B. R. Watts. The musical portiou of the
servine was very efficiently performed by the
united choirs of Spettisbury and Charlton, Mr.
Groves presiding at the organ. The following were
the tunes and chants selected : Venik, Jacob;
Psalms for the day, Jacob and Hawkins; To
Dews, Gregorian : Jubilate. Bth tone; Anthem
from 103.4 Psalm, Dr. Child; Reeprinees, Stott;
Gloria, King; Hymn before Sermon, 182 Salisbury
Hymn Reek, Leiria The Serino° was preached
by the Rev. J. R. Quirk, who took as his
test, L Coe lir 15.—" What is it then, I will
pray with the epirit, and with the understanding
also; I will sing with the spirit, and with the under-
standing alsa."—The rev. gentlernan,after remarking
that the best blessings were often perverted to evil
as was shown by the Corinthian church who were
sin of their gifts, proceeded to show that Christians
of the present day were in danger of falling into the
same sin, to worship with the head and not with the
11.- art, °retie to worship with the heart and not the head.
He then showed the.: both the bead and heart must
be engaged in worship to make it acceptable to God
end of beneet to the worshipper, observing how
admirably the Liturgy of the Church of England
was suited to promote such spiritual worship, isms
-
much as it contained prayers for all classes and con.
ditions of men, and by its preconceived form of
prayers all could join in worship, a privilege the
listeners to extempore prayer, however otherwise
imitable, were debarred from. He also proved from
Scripture that • form of prayer wa• wording to
Divine institution, citing the examples of More,
David, Soloman, Hesekir, and our Saviour. The
public worship of God should be eninabie for MI
classes—the ignorant as well as the learned, the poor
as well as the rich, Vas babe as well as the father in
Christ. The agglisity and comprehensiveness of
the prayers of Ike Church were then pointed out,
and their suirableness for • rectified heart as well
as the earner enquirer after %ideation. The preacher,
in conclusion, earnestly exhorted his hearers to con-
sider their duty and responsibilities as members of a
church so scriptural in its doctrines, to seek to enjoy
and feel it. influence themselves, and to perpetuate its
teachings by handing them down to others. The
prayer-book must not be put in the place of the
Bible, nor the church in the place of the head of the
church. On the latter part of the text the preacher
said that man no more made music than he made
light—it came from God. The whole creation was
full of music, and it was by God'e command that
music was used in celebrating his praise—" This was
made • stride and ordinance in Israel." At the
close of the sermon, the offertory retrace were
read, and a oollection made on behalf of the
choirs. The clergy and a part of the corers-
gn.ion afterwards partook of the Holy Communion.
The evening service oimmenoed at 6 o'clock, there
lee ng a larger congregation than in the morning.
Pryers were reed by Rev. R. R. Watts. Tee
choral parts of the service were again well per,
formed, the Psalms being even better chanted then
in the morning. The following was the arrange,
merit : —Psalms, Bmluars and Richardson ; Centre.
Dr. Pring ; Dens Muserestur, Boyce; anthem, Ward
Psalm, Dr. Child; 157th hymn, Salisbury
Hanover ; after sermon, 102nd hymn. Troyes 2. •
very able extempore sermon was preached by tie
Rev. F. W. Manneell, rector of Shroton —subject,
"The parable of the barren 6g tree." The rev.
genarian, in the course of hie remarks, pointed not
the applicability of the parable to individual Christ,
lan., and to the Church of God oollerively. The
various trials and persecutions which fell upon the
church were intended by God to purify her. Several
of these the preacher dwelt upon, and exhorted hie
