Tue New Exhibition of specimens of Prac-
tical Art, which opened yesterday at Marl-
borough House, was gratifying not so much
for the actual value of the works exhibited,
as that it is a step in the right direc- '
tion. It shows that the new superintendents of
the department of practical art, are in earnest.
Facts and arguments have already proved beyond
dispute the necessity of an alteration in, or addition
to, our ordinary system of instruction. We have,
from time to time, laboured to show that, unless the
education supplied to the rising generation is such as
to enable it to grapple with the altered state of the
world, we shall not be able to maintain our position
in the front ranks of industry. On the contrary, wo
shall be obliged to give way to those nations which
are wise enough to nurture their youth in the know-
ledge of those sciences which have multiplied the re-
sources and augmented the powers of industry to a
degree of which our ancestors a century back could
have had no conception.
These assertions we have supported by facts and
strengthened by authorities. itie have shown that
oar superiority in many branches of manufactures
has been contested, in others overthrown. We have
shown that the results of the late Exhibition prove
that in many instances foreigners, by the employ-
ment of scientific means, have surpassed us, in spite
of the enormous advantages we possess in the wealth
of our capitalists, in the superior organisation of our
industrial forces, and in the accumulated experience
due to our position as the first manufacturing country
in the world.

This, then, is the fact which we wish chronicled,
which we would have inscribed in gigantic letters
lon the walls of every manufacturing establishment.
Science, which at one time crept as a little child,
and did but a child's work in the vast labour-fields
of industry, is now doing the work of a giant, and
is receiving each day increments of strength too
rut to be calculated. Science it is, which laughs to
scorn the wealth of the capitalist and the skill of the
labourer who will not avail themselves of her aid.
It is to science, then, that we must look, if we do not
wish to see our long-vaunted supremacy in manufac-
tures vanish. It is for this reason that we have for

some time past insisted upon tho necessity of an im-
proved system of industrial education. It is for this
reason that we hailed with delight the announcement
of the intention of the cosimuisoners of the surplus
fund of the Great Exhibition, to apply that surplus in
such a manner as to forward the progress of such an
education.

Oar readies will remember that in he nurse of
nver vemsehe upon the application of the wades to
thin wpm, we pointed to the schools cii.
sa institatioas which, although they have
felled in the object for which they were
were yet capable of being rendered very disettve
Ibeing
. joined to industrial and scientific indite-
t We showed that art, which was now a mere
abstraction, might by such a union be rendered prac-
tical and subservient to the use and ornament of every
day lite. We suggested, therefore, that a portion of the
surplus should be employed in increasing the effici-
-1 ency of these schools, by endowing them with means
of instruction in science and industry. Now, whe-
ther our suggestions will be acted upon by the com-
missioners of the surplus fund we are not able to
say ; in the meantime, we feel great pleasure and
some pride in observing that the government has
adopted the plan which, we believe, we were the first
to suggest, end which we have been certainly the
most zealous in advocating. We announced lately
that the government bad organised a special depart-
ment at the Board of Trade, for the purpose of

idly, and dile set education generally se applied

Nail le rateethet the new superintendents have

__,/kkehowever, in only one step in the right direction.
We ban as doubt that the judgment and experience
of Ma Ones will tend very materially to increase
the dieing' of the new plan, by cementing a greater
Minion between art and industry than has yet
existed. Artiste who have been taught to con-
din design Ile the great desideratum will b;hiC
that all design dust be subservient to therac
laity of execution. The limits to whisk net must
be confined, when its creations are to be realised in
manufactures, will be more seedy pined out. We

THE House of Comm is extremely sensitive on
the score of privily, is poor devil of a printer
can publish anything AB &MR of Commons wishes to
keep concealed, however trivial ;—no disappointed
suitor can give vent to Ms helpless exasperation in
language soooortomis but the serjeant-at-arms is
hounded upon him. As the House of Commons is
strong it must be held to play a cowardly and dis-
creditable part if it wreaks merciless vengeance on
the weak and friendless for offences against privilege,
and allows the powerful and well-allied to escape
with impunity.
If there be meaning in words, the conduct of the
Marquis of LomioNunter is the Downshire elec-
tions, and his letters respecting the canvass for
that county. actually on foot, are grow and asequi-
vocal violations of the privilegeeof the Rousse Com-
mons. The doctrine that apsessyht sot to mai&
in elections to the House of say be
allowed to rest. It is impossible to provost boos

.emigre this feeds., it siaims a
right, at any tuns) to exclude the lionsizore and
the public ft= say knowledge of what
ram on within its walls. The Marquis of
LONDONDERRY by sending a servile creature of his
will to vote as he dictates iu the House of Commons,
to let him know everything that is dose then, has
violated the privileges of the house. In his letters to
his nephew he has boasted that ho has acquired this
power by corrupt means, that he has exercised and
will continue to exercise this power. The Marquis
has violated the privileges of the House of Commons,
and the house knows it. Will it suffer a wealthy
Marquis to commit a more gross and insulting out-
rage against it than any of the Srocitom.Es and
others whom it has so often and so relentlessly
punished ?
It is not to be expected that ministers will move
VlLord LONDONDERRY. The marquis's poll-
A is little more than an avowal of faith in
Lord DIM. " Great are the English landlords, and
Lord MISSY is their prophet." It is to serve Lord
DERBY that the marquis is at present so particular
in his dealings with his parliamentary nominees.
Lord DERBY and hie colleagues will wink at such
excess of zeal. But the House of Commons owes it
to itself to arraign the Marquis of LOJDONDY.RRY
of breach of privilege, were it but to ascertain
whether ministers will have the hardihood to pro-
tect the offender, whose offence has been committed
in order to serve them. To this end it is desirable
that some independent member of the House of Com-
mons should move a resolution that a representation
be sent to the Peers of the breach of the house's
privileges by one of their number. If the
ministers in the House of Commons oppose
this motion, the country will know that they
seek to obtain a majority in the nominal house of re-
presentatives by the means which the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY has resorted to. If ministers in the
Lords screen the delinquent, the country will under-
stand that Lord DERBY approves of what the Mar-
quis of LONDONDERRY has done. If a majority of
the Commons, or of the Lords, or of both,
the attempt to punish this boastful breach of privi-
lege, the country will understand that our so-called
House of Commons is a mere mockery of a national
representation. Whatever bo the result of the
motion, it must serve to accelerate a reform of the
House of Commons, by concentrating public atten-
tion on the unworthy jugglery practised in its
elections.

THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.
The prevalent opinion has been that the present
parliament would be dissolved on or about the 10th
of June. A later day seems now probable, since it
appears that the Queen intends to hold another
drawing•room about the 3rd of June, and contemplates
giving a state ball about the 18th of the same month,
at St. James's Palace. A grand ceremonial like a
state ball is not likely to be given after the dis-
solution.

slog theist goveroarent bad no in-
terest to preventing that publication. If it had not listened
to oonaideratioos of • superior order, it would have haat-
mad to give to them documents a publicity which could
only have been advantageous to dt ; but above private inte-
rest there is respect for the constitution and for the principle
as wh'els it is based. The government could net authorise
the publication of a letter which advises the refusal of the
oath required by the constitution, in supporting itself on a
principle essentially contrary to that of the national sove-
reignty.

There is great talk about a note prepared at the
ministry of foreign affairs, under the inspiration of
Louis Napoleon, relative to the treaties of 1816. The
government lays down in this note principles of oom-
plebe independacce, in relation to the foreign powers,
as regards the question of the form of government,
and the eventuality of a Bonaparte dynasty. The
numerous violations of these treaties during the last
thirty years are distinctly enumerated.
The warlike tone of the speeches of M. do Per-
signy and General do St. Arnaud at the dinner of the
Hotel do Ville, to which drew your attention last
Sunday,. has produced • profound sensation in diplo-
matic circles. The AssetnbMe Nationale is of opinion
that the sentiments and language of the minister of
the interior and war, on this occasion, will produce
no small commotion in foreign courts.
The progress of the committee on the budget in
their labours is beginning to give serious umbrage to
the government. M. Gonin, the banker, an eminent
financier, appointed by the National Assembly
reporter on the budget of 1851, and president of the
present committee, his been heard to declare that,
instead of a deficit of 40 millions of francs, as stated
by the ministry, there will be a deficit of at least 100
millions in the budget of 1853. As there only
remain only six weeks more to finish the
session of the Corps Legislatif, it is evident
they. will not be able to givo the budget
a serious examination. The grand reduction which
the committee intend to propose is based on the abo-
lition of the ministry of police, a department which
entails an enormous charge on the treasury, and is a
mere fifth wheel in the administration. The letter
and spirit of the constitution are equally
.opposed to
the prolongation of the legislative session beyond
the end of June; and if the deputies bring not their
appointed labours to a termination before that date,
the arrears of work will be cleared off more expedi-
tiously without their assistance. In fact, the 33rd
article of the constitution provides that, in case of
the dissolution of the Corps Legislatif, and until
this assembly be reconvoked, the Senate, upon the
proposition of the President of the Republic,
provides by measures of urgency for all which is
essential to the march of the government. There is
no doubt but the easy mode of legislation here de-
scribed will be adopted during the nine months re-
cess of the Legislative Body.
The deputies are also said to be resolved upon
cutting down the budget of the Senate, of whose
members they entertain the greatest jealousy on ac-
count of their rich dotations, while the Corps Legis-
latif is cut off from all such sweets,
Tho Constitittionnel contains a biting article upon
the letters of Changarnier and Lamoneo4re, from the
pen of M. Grimier de Cassagnac. " When rogues
fall out," you know the rest; and without applying
this term to General Changarnier, and still less
to Lamoriciere, the devotion of the former general
to the cause of legality would not have prevented
him from knocking the republic on the head, if he
had found a clear stage for performing the character
of Moab. This much at least was generally admitted
at the time; such a course might, for the rest, have
been dictated to General Changarnier by his con-
science as a duty; but on all hands • sole-
tion of the crisis was regarded as impossirebti,lialfid the
consequence was that all parties conspired. Out of
the reciprocal accusations of the leading men of these
parties, the best materials will be gathered for the
history of the crisis. Granier de eaasagnao beings
on the present occasion three distinct charges against
General Changarnier, which are perhaps 6n this ac-
count not undeserving of attention. First, he says:
Is March, 11/49, Gen. Changarnier applied to Prises

head of the state of what had takes piss. Is Ise, two
years running, General Cbesierater perstesied Prises Loyd'
Napoleon to obtain from him a written order to drive away
, the Amemblies.

Louis Napoleon has granted to M. de Persigny a
favour which may be taken u a pledge of the regard
which he entertains for the minister who is to be
honoured by an alliance with his house. The cha-
teau of Fontainbleau is to be placed at the disposal
of M. de Persigny and his bride during the honey-
moon. M. Fourtoul is to be Minister of the Interior
ad interim, during the absence of M. de Persigny.
In the sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-day the
adjourned debate on the Rehabilitation Bill was re-
sumed. M. Delapalme opposed Art. 623 in its en-
tirety. This article imposed on the convict seeking
his rehabilitation the obligation of proving that he had
paid all costs, fines, and damages to which he might
have been sentenced. it might happen that a worthy
person might not be able to do this. The object of
the existing laws upon the subject was that a crimi-
nal having undergone his punishment might be
restored to his place in society upon proof of his
me. al reform. The new law should not introduce
new severities. With regard to fraudulent bank-
ruptcy they should not make that offence blacker
than it really was. (Laughter.) An unfortunate
man might be declared a fraudulent bankrupt be-
cause he had concealed 150 francs' worth of his pro-
perty to satisfy the most pressing necessities of his
family. No doubt rehabilitation ought not alone
completely to restore a fraudulent bankrupt to his
commercial position, but the default of payment
ought not to be a positive bar to his rehabili-
tation. M. Langlais supported the article. The
two first clauses of the article were then passed.
The 3rd clause, which relates to fraudulent bank-
rupts, was opposed by MM. Remade and
Devinek, and supported by MM. Curvier and Lang-
Isis, but wu ultimately adopted. The remaining
articles were then adopted without opposition, and
on a division upon the whole bill it was palmed by 212
votes against 11. On the order of the day being read
for the discussion of the bill for the levy of 50,000
men of the class of 1862. M. Dumival said he did
not rise to speak against the law, but concerning it.
They had lately in their bureaux, upon the occasion
of discussing the budget, been made acquainted with
some serious facts. He alluded to the want of equi-
librium in the finances—to the deficit. He did not
wish to give a sombre hue to their position, but ho
thought it was their duty to search out the remedies'
for such a state of things. Several propositions had
already been made with this view. Some had asked'
for the re-imposition of the salt tax. Others were in
favour of an income tax. Others, again, of whom
he was one, were of opinion that the bait remedy
would be a reduction of their expenditure. He would
not defend himself against the accusation that he
wished to disparage the army. The army was the
pride and glory of all of them, and its honour and
consideration could not be brought in question
in a budget debate. But he thought it
worth examination whether the necessities of
the country required so numerous an army.
Who could deny that tranquillity was now
everywhere re-established. The laws were never,
more readily obeyed, at no time had institutions
been more universally respected. The head of the'
state had been raised to power by the acclamations
of the whole people. Where, then, was the necessity
for the maintuhanoe of such an imposing force as they
had? Without being an optimist, and admitting
that bad passions existed, as they always would ex-
ist, ho would ask where now was socialism? where
were its chiefs? Neither was there any danger to
apprehend from foreign countries. Regrets and
hopes there might be in certain quarters, but there

General Allard, a councillor of state,

by - President of the Republic to sup-
port the measure, said the question that had
bees raised would necessarily have to be considered
upon the discussion of the budget. The number of
80,000 had been fixed long since, but it would be
open to the house to reduce it should they object to
the expense. At present the objection was prema-
ture. (Applause.) The bill wu then voted unani-
mously, in a house of 220 members. After voting
several local bills the house adjourned eine die.
The following members of the Corps Legielatif
were elected today as the committee on the bill re-
lating to crimes committed by Frenchmen in foreign
countries: MM. Laffitto (Charles), Riche, O'Quin,
De la llaichois, Dubois de 11-auverger, Vernier.
Notwithstanding the decree which gives precedence
to the Corps Legislatif over the Council of State, it
seems that the ministerial bureaux lose no occasion of
inverting the order fixed by the President, and setting
the councillors of state above the deputies. Ihus, at the
sittings of the mixed commission appointed by the
Minister of the Interior to examine the question of
Ilse sate raised for hospitals upon the receipts of the
timbres, the clerks of the ministry gave precedence
le the councillors of state over the members of the
Corps Legislatif. This treatment, which seems a
sakulated system of insult, is bitterly complained of
by the deputies • and M. Billault has applied, on the
behalf of the body over which he presides, to Louis
Napoleon in person for redress.
General Parchappe has presented to the Legisla-
tive Body a report, in the name of the committee
charged to examine the bill authorising a levy in
18.53 of 80,000 men of the class of 1852. The re-
port states that, in order to keep up the armed force
of France at 500,000 men, it is necessary to call out
80,000, as has been done annually for twenty years
put; and, as an additional reason for the levy, it
says: " Foreign countries do not reduce their armies.
England feels great anxiety with respect to our pro-
gress and the firm and becoming attitude of the
country; her Chambers have voted subsidies for the
organisation of a numerous militia and the increase
of the navy. In Austria, the sovereign of that em-
pire and the Emperor of Russia have passed is
review the troops assembled at Vienna."
Two bills are about to be submitted to the exami-
nation of the Council of State, ono relative to the
sojouni of foreigners in Paris and Lyons, and the

It is said, by the Petrie, that 3,000,000 fr. are to

I mentioned yesterday that Louis Napoleon had
been accompanied in his view of the gallery of Mar-
shal &tilt by M. Fortoul, the minister of 'public in-
struction. A speech is reported to me by a person
who was present on this occasion, as having been
uttered by this minister, which affords an excellent
test of the civilisation of some of the highest tonne-
tionaries of the present government. Louis Napoleon
paused before the famous "Conception of the Virgin,"
of Murillo, the pearl of the collection, and asked M.
Fortoul his opinion of it. The minister of public
instruction, I bear, replied : " Mon Prince, n'achetez
pas une credto comme cello-la; je yowl trouverai
vingto brosseurs it Paris qui vous en feraient mieux
quo ga." This assurance reminds one of the famous
blonder of the Roman Consul Mummies, who
when he was informed of the destruction of the
famous pictures and statues in the sack of Corinth,
said that he would order fresh ones to be executed.
The modern Athenians, as the Parisians style them-
selves, laugh quite as heartily at the taste of M.
Fortoul, as the ancient ones did at the barbarism of
Roman consul.
