THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lords last night several bills
were forwarded a stage, and some discussion took
place on the subject of repressing the riots in St.
George's-in-the-East, which, ended in nothing
defiintc. •
Lord Palmerston, in the House of Commons
last night, referring to the rejection of the Paper
Duty Repeal Bill by the Lords) intimated Lis
intention of moving) on Thursday and Friday, for
committees to examine the journals of the tipper
House and" to search for precedents. He dis-
claimed all intention of taking any step which
should bring the two Houses into collision., Mr.
Whalley, in the interest of the " Advanced
Liberals," asked if this was all?. To which the
Home Secretary, Sir G. C. Lewis, amid much
laughter, curtly replied that he had nothing to
add to the statement of the Premier. Another
Radical, Mr. Digby Seymour, subsequently got
up and asked if the Government was in earnest,
and, if so, Why did they not move the committees
at once, instead of postponing them.? Lord
Palmerston, as curtly as Sir G. C. Lewis, said he
saw no reason for departing from his proposed
course. There was no more made out of it ; and
thus, upon the whole, the Commons seem dis-
posed to look upon the rejection of their bill as a
capital joke at the expense of John Bright and
his friends ; while it is equally clear that Lord
Palmerston and Sir G. C. Lewis. at all events, if
not the whole Cabinet, look upon it as a blessed
deliverance from a serious loss of revenue. So
much for the, usefulness of a House of Lords.
Lord Palmerston moved the adjournment of
the House over the Derby Day. Attention .was
directed to the state of 'the penal settlement at
Bermuda, but no satisfactory explanation was
obtained. A Motion by. Mr. Baxter for the abo-
lition of the .Regiunz Donunt in Ireland, and an
amendment. by Conolly, that it should bs
charged on the consolidated fund, were, after
some discussion, rejected. Leave was given for
the introduction of several bills; and Sir F. Smith
was moving an inquiry as to the gunboats, when
the House was counted out.

- The more candid of the Liberals are beginning
.to acknowledge that Mr. Cobden is either deluded
or is disengennonsi when he writes home from
Paris insinuating, that "there are sinister
influences at
.work in England, to mar, if possi-
the fair prospect" which his Anglo-French treaty,
he vainly imagines, has already created—the pros-
pect, viz., of its developing, in a very few years,
" that state of mutual' dependence which forms
the solid basis of the peace and friendship of
nations." They cannot shut their eyes to the fact
that it is not in England that such influences are
at work, but in France—the very place where
Mr. Cobden is being so thoroughly befooled. . He
may mean well himself—the policy he would fain
promote may be a perfectly pacific one ; but it is
all, nevertheless, a mischievous delusion. We say
mischievous, because it is playing into the hands
Of the enemies of England, and diverting the

attention of this country from that course which
its own security renders it imperative it

should pursue. Only too truly does oue
of our Liberal contemporaries repeat that—
" Successful projects for the rereivlication of ter:-
ritory which belonged to. the First Empire have a
highly sinister bearing on the fair prospects which
we are all anxious to see realised. The profound
distrust produced by a restless, meddling, and
aggressive policy is a most formidable sinister
influence in the way of extended commerce, with
all its train of attendant blessings. When people
have no confidence in the future ; when they are
unable to believe the most solemn official assur-

antes ; when it is impossible to say what a day

may bring forth—they are inevitably reluctant to

embark on large and novel enterprises, or to con-

tract long-dated engagements. We really do not
see how any prudent man of business can, under

presenteircumstances,commit himself to any under-
taking which implies the prolonged continuance
of peace between England and Imperial France."

In what a vain shadow, then, must Mr. Cobden
be walking! And how weak, or else how rash,

must be the Ministry, whose emissary he is ! If

a vindication of what the House of Lords has

just done in rejecting the bill for repealing the
paper duty were wanting, there could assuredly
be no more thorough 'one than that of such repeal
being-part and parcel of such a state of things
as Mr. Cobden is thus mixed up with. Wdl

may our Liberal contemporary conclude that those
are the sinister influences by which Mr. Cobdeijs
work is being marred,—and well may his remarks
be summed up by observing,—" We know nCt
whether it may be in his power in any degree b
counteract them ; but at any, rate it is on th)
other side of the channel, not on this, that the
