Oh ! o—h ! o—h ! oh !

Such ill-match'd craturs, in shape and faytures,
Were never muster'd since Pat Noah's ark,
From Peel, whose perch is not far from Birch's,
To the green Pelides that adorns Hyde-park.
Then for elevation, there's the Arch-Duke's station
On his long-legg'd steed, betwixt us and the skies,
And York lookin' solemn, from his Whatd'ye column,
On the ducks, and the Horseguards, and Hall's Bridge of Size !
Oh ! o—h ! o—h ! oh!

But sure they muster in the quarest cluster
All by the fountains in Trafalgar-square,
An' the National Gallery, that theme for raillery,
An' St. Martin's Church, too handsome to be there.
Faith I what a view it is of incongruities !
Stuck up promisc'ous, jilt like nothin' at all—
Ginerals and sailors, badly off for tailors,
An' the latest failures of great Benjie Hall !

London, England, 1858-05-15

But surely this involves the House in one very
obvious peril. It may turn out, and that in a very
few weeks, that Lord CANNING'S Proclamation
was a most ill-judged and perilous measure, and
that Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S Despatch was the
wisest and best way of dealing with it. This, we
say, might appear, even before a month had
elapsed, to be abundantly clear and certain. But
what, then, would be the position of the House
of Lords ? Would not Lord ELLENBOROUGH

have a right to say to their Lordships, " You
rushed in haste to condemn me for what proves
to have been right and wise ; but you abstained
from expressing any opinion on Lord CANNING'S
act, which was utterly wrong. You admitted
that you could not understand, and would not
pass any judgment on his Proclamation ; but you
went on to pass judgment on me, whose protest
hinged entirely upon his previous act. Could a
hostile animus or prejudice be more clearly or
strongly expressed ?"

But let us consider for a few momenta the
main quesilyx. This is not very simple, inas-
much as it includes four different points.
1. The state of (hide, and our position in that
country. 2. Lord CANNING'S Proclamation. 3.
Lord ELLENHOROUGH'S Despatch. 4. The present
publication of that Despatch in this country.
These four questions are independent of each
other. A jury might find for the plaintiff on
three of the issues, and for the defendant on the
fourth ; or for the defendant on three counts, and
for the plaintiff on the fourth.
Let us take up these four points in their
natural order. And, first, as to the state of
Oude, and our position in that country, morally
and politically. Much turns upon this, in forming
a judgment as to the equity or policy of Lord
CANNLNG's Proclamation.

The Record newspaper, as most people know, is
favourable to Lord PALMERSTON, and is not
favourable to the present Government. In
citing its opinions, therefore, recently expressed,
we are not citing the opinions of a friend, but of
one on the other side of the House. Now, within
these few weeks, the Record has thus spoken of
our position in the kingdom of Oude. On the
19th of February the Record wrote :
" The discussion which took place in regard to
Oude on Tuesday is one of the most melancholy
proofs of the evils of the present system. The
subject is one to which it may be useful here-
after to revert, but for the credit of the country,
and for the honour of professedly Christian rulers,
we could have desired that the whole of that
shameful story could have been buried in oblivion.
We fully sympathize with the indignant feeling
expressed by Lord JOHN MANNERS at the in-
structions of the Calcutta Council as to the man-
ner in which Colonel SLEEMAN was in 1855 to
explain how a treaty, solemnly entered into in 1837
with the King of Otrnz, had no existence. It had
been repudiated by the Directors, although, in
1839, it was treated as still in force, and, in 1845,
published as an existing treaty. That the annexa-

TIIE PEW SYSTEM.

Wu have received an application from the
"General Committee on the Pew System "-
1 the lion. COLIN LINDSAY, President—to give
their object our support. We respond, without
a moment's delay, that their object has our
wannest sympathy, and shall have the utmost
support that we can give it. But while we can
thus speak, unreservedly and without hesitation,
of the object itself we must reserve ourselves as
to some of the details. We think that the Com-
mittee, writing from a provincial town, have not
taken that view which would have presented
itself if they had dwelt in the metropolis. They
state their purpose, without circumlocution, to be,
that "all appropriation of seats, whether formal
" or tacit, shall be abandoned, and every comer
" feel himself free to take any place in a church
" which he may find vacant."
Now, in a village, where every inhabitant is
known, and where the ostler would not attempt
to seat himself by the side of the earl, this un-
limited application of the principle may be free
from danger. But it is otherwise in the metro-
polis. Does the lion. COLIN LINDSAY think that
a lady related to himself would feel at ease in one
of the churches of Belgravia, if she had reason to
suspect that the female who had just taken a
seat at her side was a frequenter of the Saloons;
or that the dashing blade who had placed him-
self on the bench behind her was one of the
"swell-mob"? The total abolition of all restric-
tions, and the recognition of the right of any one
to take any vacant seat, would shock existing
prejudices so severely, that Mr. LINDSAY may
assure himself of the impossibility of obtaining
so great a concession, at least in the metropolis.
But, again, the argument of the Committee
rests mainly upon this allegation,—that " parish

Her Majesty the Queen of Portugal and suite
arrived at Plymouth at six o'clock on Tuesday even•

they were met by the heads of the naval department.
On her Majesty's embarkation on board the Bartho-

fired by the shipping in port and the batteries upon
the shore.

The royal squadron sailed for Lisbon early on
`Wednesday morning.

James's-ball, Piccadilly, to hear an address from Mr.

count Burg occupied the chair, and among the vast
company thwt completely filled the room were noticed

field, Crawford, liar E. Perry, Sir James Graham,

MOVEMENT.
SUNDAY last ("the better day the better deed")
was allotted by the late Premier to the con-
coction of a new scheme for taking Downing-
street by storm. As we have already said, once
or twice, we do not think this line of conduct
defensible in Lord PALMERSTON. A total
change of Government, probably involving
a dissolution of Parliament, ought not to
be regarded as a light thing. He might,
in February, have called upon the House
of Commons to pause and reconsider its vote ;
but having submitted to it, and resigned
the Government, that resignation ought to have
been bond-fide ; and he, at least, ought to have
abstained from any active measures for the re-
sumption of office, at least until a decent period
of retirement had been completed.
Such abstinence, however, seems impossible to
Lord PALmEngroN, and he seizes the first occa-
sion to organize an attack upon the Government.
To put a better face upon the matter, Mr.
CARDWELL, a Peelite, and nephew to an Oxford
Head, is put forward to lead the attack in one
House, and Lord SHAFTESBURY in the other !
We are pained every day by hearing the remarks
which Lord SHAFTESBURY'S apparent connection
with such a meeting naturally elicits, both from
friends and foes. Not a post passes without our
receiving letters from country clergy and others,
asking, " Can you tell us whether Lord SHAFTES-
"BURY attended the Cambridge-house meeting
"of Sunday last ?"

However, let us come to the question itself.
And this is most singularly proposed, in the
Resolutions which are to be offered to the two
Houses, especially in that which is to be moved
in the House of Lords :—" That this House is
"unable to form a judgment on the Proclama-
"tion issued by Lord CANNING; but thinks it
"right to express its disapprobation of the pre-
mature publication by her Majesty's Ministers
"of the Despatch addressed to the Governor-
" General."

That is to say, a certain act was done by Lord
CANNING of which the House of Lords cannot
yet form a judgment. It may have been very
foolish, or very wicked—it may have imperilled
our empire in India. Of all this the House of
Lords will say nothing. But of what grew out
of it—.0t the rebuke administered to Lord CAN-
NLNG by the Home Government, the House will
express an opinion. A fault, or a folly, or a
Crime, may have been committed ; but that
Question the House postpones. It merely pounces
upon the censure pronounced, which censure is
not a heavy one ; and it proposes first to con-
demn the censure, and then to leave the main
question of whether that censure was deserved or
undeserved, to be dealt with at some future time!

NATIONAL GALLERY.

Mr. T . DUNCOMBE asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether he had succeeded in carrying
out arrangements for opening the National Gallery
on Saturday afternoons.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had great
pleasure in informing the hon. gentleman that he
had succeeded in accomplishing that object. He
was bound at the same time to say that he had
received from Sir Charles Eastlake great assistance
and sympathy in making the arrangements ; and
after some short time, which must necessarily elapse
before the arrangements could bo made complete,
the National Gallery would be open on Saturday
afternoons.

THE PRESS, AUGUST 7, 1858.

Her Majesty thankfully acknowledges the diligence and
perseverance which have enabled you, in a comparatively
short time, to pass these and other measures of inferior but
not insignificant importance.
Many of you, in returning to your respective counties,
have extensive influence to exercise, and duties to perform,
of hardly less value to the community than those from the
labours of which you are about t> be released; and her
Majesty entertains a confident assurance that, under the
guidance of Providence, that influence will be so employed,
and those duties so performed, es to redound to your own
honour, and to promote the general welfare and the happi-
ness of a loyal and contented people.

The clerk at the table having next read the Com.
mission of Prorogation,
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in her Majesty's name,
formally declared Pariament to stand prorogued to
Tuesday, the 19th of October next.
The Commons then retired to their own chamber,
and the Lords Commissioners and the other peers
present immediately afterwards dispersed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MoNDAT.

The Speaker took the chair shortly after half-past
one o'clock, when about fifty members had already
assembled in the house. Most of the members of
the present Government who have seats in the
House of Commons were present at the hour ap-
pointed for the meeting of the house, and with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer as their leader occupied
the usual places on the Treasury bench. Lord
Palmerston and Mr. Wilson, sitting on the chief
Opposition bench, represented the late Adminis-
tration. . . _

Sir W. CODRINGTON presented a petition from
Charlton Kings, Glocestershire, in favour of a grant
for scriptural education.

NOTICES OF MOTION.

Mr. WARREN gave notice that on an early day of
next session he should submit resolutions to the
house expressive of its opinion as to the principles
by which the Queen's Government in India should
be regulated with reference to the promotion of
education, and the adoption of such preparatory
measures as could be safely brought into action wish
a view ultimately to the extension of Christianity in
her Majesty's dominions in India.
Colonel NORTH gave notice that in next session he
would call the attention of the house to the present
position of chaplains in the army.
Mr. BRADY gave notice that in next session he
would move for leave to introduce a bill to repeal so
much of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill as
authorized the payment of the travelling expenses
of voters.

THE PARKS.

Lord PALMERSTON asked th 3 Chief Commissioner
of the Boards of Works whether it was his intention
to remove those abominable iron hurdles which at
present disfigured the parks, and prevented the
people from enjoying those places, which were main-
tained at the public expense simply for the purpose
of public enjoyment. His right hon. friend who was
at the head of the Board of Works under the late
Government assured him that they were to be
removed in the spring, and he understood the noble
lord opposite to say on a former occasion that it
was his intention also to remove them ; but there
they were still, and seemed likely to remain until the
iron should disappear by the process of time. Mean-
while the public were prevented from that free
expatiation over their own parks which was neces-
sary for their health and enjoyment. The object of
those iron hurdles was to prevent the people from
walking on the grass, but there was no purpose
in having grass there except to be walked upon,
and that advantage was lost if the grass was simply
maintained to be looked at. He wished, therefore,
to know from the noble lord when he meant to take
the people of the metropolis out of irons so far as
related to the parks.
Lord J. MANNERS replied that the hurdles had been
completely removed from Hyde-park, and it had been
his intention to remove all the hurdles from the
Green-park ; but there came a plague of insects,
which had the effect of destroying the grass there in
a most extraordinary manner, and therefore it became
necessary to inclose portions of that park. The park
bad now recovered from the effects of that plague,
and be would endeavour to remove the hurdles as
soon as possible.

PIEDMONT.

According to letters from Turin, the recent con-
ference between the Emperor of the French and
Count de Cavour at Plombieres was on the general
situation of the affairs of Italy, and terminated in a
strong recommendation from his Majesty to the
Minister to adopt a moderate and circumspect policy
both towards Austria and Naples.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
THE attempt to revive Herold's Zampa on Thursday
proved unsuccessful. Its announcement drew an in-
different house ; it was received from beginning to end
with extreme coldness, and the curain tell at its con-
clusion without a hand being lifted in the way of ap-
plause. Its ill success must have been owing w its own
demerits, and motto any fault in the performance. Mlle.
Parepa acted the part of a very insipid heroine with
great propriety, and sang some pretty music charm-
ingly. lamberlik played the hero, a reprobate of the
Don Juan stamp, with great energy, and exhibited
much vocal power. The parts of a comio soubrette

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Mr. Joss' Locice asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department when the copies of standards
of weights and measures were issued from the Exche-
quer under which 1,555 tradesmen were convicted by
the police for using false weights and measures in
1857, and whether the accuracy of the said copies of
standards had been !egally tested since first issued ;
and, if so, at what period. And, whether the police con-
stables now engaged as inspectors of weights and
measures were authorized to seize all weights and
measures indiscriminately under the Act 5 and 6
William IV., cap. 63, which deviated from the stan-
dards, or whether they were instructed to distinguish
between cases of intentional fraud and trifling inac-
curacies arising from friction, atmospheric influence,
or ordinary wear and tear. •
Mr. WALPoix was sorry to say that he had not yet
been able to obtain the desired information ; but as
the matter was of considerable importance he would
take care that due inquiry should be made respecting
it, and if any alteration should be required to have
the standards properly rectified he would take care
that it should be made.

GENERAL CHESNEY'S WORK.

Mr. WILSON asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether the sums voted in the present year in aid of
the expenses of bringing out General Chesney's work
was to be given with the understanding that the work
was to be completed ; and, also, whether the East
India Company had contributed any sum for the same
purpose.
Mr. HAMILTON could not give the assurance re-
quired. His impression was that three volumes of
the work had been published, copies of which, as

It is hoped that the proposed services in commemoration of
this great event will in many churches be followed by a collo°.
tlon. and it has been suggested to the Committee of the Society
for Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics, by one of
the London clergy, that on such an occasion no object for which
those collections might be made could be more appropriate than
the extension to Ireland of the blessings of the English Reforma-
tion. The COMMITTEE of the IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS
would earnestly appeal to the Clergy to take the opportunity of
mating a SPECIAL COLLECTION in AID of the SOCIETY,
as the exhaustion of its Funds threatens to curtail the great
work in which it has been so long and successfully engaged.

NINE FIRES occurred in various parts of the
metropolis in the course of Saturday and Sunday,
without, however, any very large amount of damage
being caused in the majority of cases.

PAUPERISM is on the decrease. In the fourth
week of September 811,362 paupers received relief in
England and Wales, against 816,195 in 1857, thus
exhibiting a decrease of 4,833, or 0.59 per cent. In
the third week the decline was 0.60 per cent., and in
the second week 0.19. In the first week there was an
increase of 0.06 per cent. These numbers exclude
lunatic paupers in asylums and licensed houses, and
vagrants, classes which form but a small portion of
the entire pauperism of the country.

A FATAL ACCIDENT BY FIREWORKS is recorded. It
appears that on the evening of the sth inst., Dr.
Thomas, a general practitioner, of Upper Norwood,
was killed in consequence of a display of fireworks
on the grounds of a gentleman at Crown bill, at the
top of the road leading from Streatham common to
Upper Norwood. Dr. Thomas was returning with
his daughter-in-law and ber child, from Streatham,
when the letting off of some rockets caused his
horse to take fright. The startled animal, becoming
quite unmanageable, rushed down the hill with great
velocity, and came in contact with a sand cart with
such violence as to precipitate the doctor and his
family against the cart. Dr. Thomas was killed
almost instantaneously, but his daughter•in-law and
her child escaped with their lives, though most
seriously injured.
A MOST DISTRESSING ACCIDENT occurred on
Friday night, the sth instant, at Oldham, from the
use of firearms. Mr. Shiers, of Greenhill, has made
a practice for some time of commemorating the sth
of November by having a large bonfire near his

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

PORTUGAL.
THE KING'S SPEECH.

The following letter was received by the Times
correspondent at Liverpool last evening, dated
Lisbon, Nov. 5 :

The King, accompanied by her Majesty the Queen,
opened the Cortes yesterday with a very short speech,
containing the following reference to the recent sur-
render of the Charles et Georges :
Friendly relations shave not, since last session, been
interrupted with the nations with whom we are allied. A.
serious misunderstanding, however, arose between my
Government and his Majesty the Emperor of the French,
in consequence of the capture of the French ship Charles
et Georges in the waters of Mozambique. This question
being taken from the field of right, in which my Govern-
ment sought to maintain it, my Government, having ex-
hausted the resources in which the letter of treaties
authorized it to have confidence, was obliged to cede to
the peremptory exaction of the delivery of that vessel and
the liberation of the captain.
All the documents relating to this deplorable conflict
will shortly be laid before you, and upon their examination
I hope you will approve the proceedings of my Govern-
ment, anti relieve it from the responsibility it was forced
to incur.

I understand the French Minister has not yet
received any communication from Paris in reply to
the Portuguese despatch relating to the delivery of
the Charles et Georges, nor has any account been yet
presented for the indemnification.
Her Majesty's steam corvette Racer, Captain
Pakenham, from Plymouth, called at Lisbon on the
Ist, and left on the 2nd for Gibraltar ; and on the
oth the Victor Emanuel and Racoon were left
anchored in the Tagus, as also the French war
steamer Coiigny.

EXECUTION OF lEEE ANANUT ALLEE.

A private letter from India states that Meer
Amanut Alice, Subadar Major of the Grenadier
Regiment Scindia's Contingent, who was elected, on
the breaking out of the mutiny, General.in•Chiet' of
the Gwalior Contingent, and who successfully drove
back our troops under Windham, near Cawnpore,
was captured and hanged very recently. Among
the strange facts connected with this great mutiny it
may be recorded that this leader was regarded for
many years as a most devoted and trustworthy
officer, a person singularly attached to the British
Government and to the European officers under
whom he served : yet he was the chosen chieftain of
a fine body of troops whose defection was marked in
the first instants by the massacre of officers, women,
and children in the Moorar cantonments near
Scindia's capital.

PRUSSIA.

The following telegram has been received, dated
Berlin, Friday, 6.51 p.m.:—

The elections took place to-day. More than half of the
electors of the first instance (Uriodhler) were present.
The result was almost entirely in favour of the new
Minister.

RUSSIA.

The following telegram has been received, dated
Petersburg, Friday evening :

The Neva has been closed with ice since this morning;
the navigation is consequently stopped.
INDIA.- -

The Calcutta mail arrived last night.. The rumour
of Jung Bahadoor's treachery is not confirmed. The
news published by our morning contemporaries has
been anticipated by the summaries which the tele-
graph has already presented. The Queen's procla-
mation was expected to be immediately published in
Calcutta.

CHINA.

Lord Elgin is at Shanghai, waiting, it is said, the
arrival of the Chinese Commissioners. At Canton
matters are assuming a favourable position.

THE TREATY WITH JAPAN.

WE extract from the Times the more important
stipulations of the treaty signed at Jeddo on the 26th
of August

This treaty, in the first place, engages that there shall
be perpetual peace and friendship between her British
Majesty and the Tycoon of Japan ; secondly, that her
Majesty may appoint a diplomatic agent to reside at Jeddo
and the Tycoon a diplomatic agent to reside in London,
both of them respectively to have the right of travelling
freely to any part of tho empire of Japan, and to any part
of Great Britain ; also, either power may appoint consuls
or consular agents at any or all the ports of the other.
The ports of Hakodadi, Kanagawa, and Nagasaki, in Japan,
are to be opened to British subjects on the Ist of July,
18.59. Nee•e-gate, or, if Nee•e•gata be unsuitable, another
convenient port on the west coast of Nipon, is to be opened
on the let of January, 1800; Hiogo on the Ist of Janaarv,
1883 ; and British subjects may permanently reside in all
the foregoing ports, may lease ground, purchase or erect
dwellings and warehouses, bat may not erect fortifications.
Within a certain distance of the specified ports they she!
be free to go where they please, or, speaking generally,
they have a tether of some twenty to thirty miles around
either of them. From the Ist of January, 1882, they will
be allowed to reside at Jeddo, and from the Ist of January,
1883, at Osaca, for the purposes of trade. All questions
