LONDON, WEDNRSDAY, JUNE 28.

IN the House of LORDS, Earl Ge.asivars stated
that the government, after due consideration of
the state of private boluses, had come to the con-
clusion that the public interests required that the
dissolution of parliament should not be delayed
after public business had been concluded, and it was
their intention to bring the session to • close on
Thursday, 6th July.
The Prisons Bill was passed through oommitttee.
The Peace Preservation (Ireland) Act Amendment
Bill and the Greenwich Hospital Bill were read a
second time.
The Salmon Fishery Act Amendmentgtillowas
passed through committee.
The other bills were advanced a stage.
In answer to the Marquis of Wssrmaarn,
Earl Gasirvms said no permission was asked, or
required, to authorise a curtain to be drawn over
the Ten Oornmandmeits iu the Liverpool Prison
during the performance of the Roman catholic
service.
Earl Da Gas: said that the hymns in the book
entitled "Hymns, ancient and modern, for use in
the services of the church," were used in the ser-
vices for the army and navy.
The house then adjourned.

lx the House of COMMONS, at a morning sitting,
Colonel W. Parr:: called attention to the state
of the private business of the house, and to
the report of the committee on the Court of
Referees on Private Bills, and having stated
the various changes which had been made in the
mode of conducting private business in order to
meet its great Increase in the last seventeen years,
urged that the system had not worked efficiently. In
the course of last session an attempt at a remedy
bad been made, by appointing a court of
referees, which was to relieve committees
from the consideration of all engineer-
ing and statistical branches of inquiry.
A trial of this system having been made, the result
was, notwithstanding some conflict of opinion, that
it appeared that both tints and expense had been
saved ; and the committee which inquired into
the matter had decided to recommend that the
courts of referees should be continued ; and the
hon. gentleman moved a standing order to the
effectthat the chairman of ways and means, and
such other persona as the Speaker might appoint,
shall be referees to form one or more courts of at
least three members—the chairman of each court
to be a member of the house. He suggested that,
looking to the onerous nature of the duties, the
chairmen, though members of the house, should
be paid.
After a long discussion, in which much objec-
tion was made to coming to any decision on the
subject of tke payment of chairmen of the courts
of referees, and an opinion almost generally
a:premed that the only step which the present par-
liament at this time of the session was competent to
take was a mere continuance of the existing system
of referees for another year it was arranged that
the motion should be confined to a standing order
continuing the referees, and the question of pay-
ment of chairmen postponed to next session.
The Clerical Subscription Bill and the Turnpike
Acts Continuance Bill, as amended, were 001113i-
&fed.
The County Courts Equitable Jurisdiction Bill,
the Expiring Lulea Continuance Bill, and the
Poor-law Board Continuance Bill were read a third
time and passed.
At the evening sitting,
Mr. LONOPIILD called attention to the report
of the committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court,
and observed that brim within three months a
distinguished member of her Majesty's government
had caused formal inquiries to be made into the
distribution of the patronage at his disposal, and
had been known to have allowed officials to be
pus/ied from their places in order to bestow them
on members of his family. The honourable gen-
tleman then, at length, went into the circumstances
al the inquiry before the select committee, and
the transactions between Mr. Miller and Mr.
Wilde, Mr. R. Bothell, Mr. Welch, and the Rev.
(I. Hauling, in reference to the disposition of the
registrarship at Leeds, and the conduct of the Lord
Chancellor, against whom he spoke in the inset
unmcaaurcal terms, accusing the ,„noble and
learned lord of conniving at and 'el-
pating in a fraudulent and corrupt
for giving to Mr. Welch • place for w '
. .

- R-- -
Mr. Welch had paid money to 'Mr. Bethell, his
eon, and also in an attempt to transfer Mr. Welsh
to London, and place Mr. R. Bothell in office at
Leeds, which was not carried out because the Ed-
munds scandal had become matter of public noto-
riety. lie expressed his surprise that the noble
and learned lord was under these circumstances still
Lord Chancellor. He inquired what steps the
government proposed to take in consequence of the
report against the parties implicated by it. Had
she pension to Mr. Wilde been recalled, had Mr.
Welch and Mr. Miller been dismissed from their
offices, and bad the Lord Chancellor been asked to
retire on a pension
The ATTOILKET-GINIZAL protested against this
motion as prematurely made, before the evidence
taken by than/act committee was in the hands of
members ; and yet the house was asked to reverse
the decision of the essnmittee at once. He argued

that on the facts it must be taken thattisterflatint-
cello? was no party to the alleged amp. raveafi-'
menus between his son and the other parties taw-
owned, for the Lord Chancellor had for • long
time refrained from communication, either per-
' smelly or by letter, with his sou ; nor was be an-
swerable for any act of his son assuming ever-
to
I eine influence over his father. The appointment of
Mr. Welch by the Lord Chaneellor. was made on
grounds wholly unconnected with the corrupt teens-
actions in which his son we
pt m
and be
was influenced by no corrupt motive whatever,
and that was the opinion of the committee ; while
be distinctly refused to appoint his son to any
ethos, notwithstanding earnest solioitations which
were made to him. The whole charge admitted by
the committee against dm Lord Chancellor resolved
itself into one of want of care and caution in rati-
fying Mn Wilde's pension. The government had
determined to lay the evidence taken by the
committee before the law officers of the crown, to
decide whether the persons implicated could be
subjected to criminal prosecution and Mr. Welch
would be suspended during such Proceedings • and
as to Mr. Miller, the committee did not implicate
him in any corrupt transaction.
Mr. 13. HARDT was of opinion that by his own
admission the Lord Chancellor was blamable in
the distribution of the offices at his
t di
this matter
sposal ; and
be thought that it was necessary hat
should have been brought before the house.'
Mr. E. C. FAIRTON, a member of the committee,
protested evilest the house coming to any decision
before considering the evidence ; and be urged that
the evidence should immediately be published.
The LOILD•ADVOCATII, also a member of the com-
mittee, agreed in the opinion that the house should
await the evidence, and expressed his surprise
and regret at the time and course adopted by
Mr. Longfield ; and confidently defended the
Lord Chancellor against the charge of corrupt
motives or conduct.
Viscount Canseornitz defended Mr. Longfield
from the accusations made against him, and urged
that Mr. Miller was implicated in the setting up
for sale of the patronage of the Lord Chancellor,
and ought to be included in any proceedings which
might be taken against the persons implicated in
palpably corrupt transactions.
Mr. Dermas said that the government had
undertaken to do exactly what the noble lord bad
sunested. He observed that the committee had been
hardly dealt with by the course which had been

taken:
After brief observations from Mr. Hennessy, Mr.
Ayrton, and Mr. Scully,
Lord nixing:mu( expressed the pain and indig-
nation with which he bad listened to Mr. Long.
field's speechz while admitting the right of one party
to attack individuals of another ; yet be "Dust say
that such persons had always had fair play in
that house, which the Lord Chancellor had not re-
ceived. It appeared that Mr. Longfield had made
assertions not borne out by the evidence. He was
grieved at the bitterness of invective which
the hon. member threw into the charges which he
bad made against the Lord Chancellor, and he com-
plained of the manner in which the matter had been
brought under discussion, without due notice be-
yond that of a mere question. He regretted that
the hon. member had taken a course so unusual
in the house.
The subject then dropped.
In answer to Mr. C. FORSTER,
Lord Paissaacrox said that the prorogation
would take place on Thursday week, the 6th July.
The house then adjourned.

Two characteristics will probably strike a die.

_ -
passionate foreign reader of British °lento.
addresses--their sameness and their optimism.
Political students over the water who read these
laboured compositions must think us a very happy
people, and it is conceivable that they think us
also just a little Pharisaic, and just a little dull.
Was there ever such a "damnable iteration"
of stock phreass, cut and dried, and signifying
nothing Was there ever such an exhibition
before an admiring world of puny self-complacency
and sleek satisfaction ? Was there ever such
• chorus of sounding brass and tinkling cymbal 1
By what process, among the marvels of modern'
industry, is this vast and sudden production of
political shoddy thrown upon the market ? How I
are all these rags and bones of " principles "I
worked up into a jargon, which no " fellow " can
understand, but every " fellow " can write, it
seems, with ease and confidence. Surely, in an
age of mechanical invention, these election ad-
dresses must be turned out by a maohine, like
prayers in Japan. Or, are they constructed on
the same principle as ready-made MS. sermons ?
An interminable procession of barrel organs, all
playing variations on the same tune, could hardly
assail the public ear with a more delightful har-
mony. Here are candidates who have sat silent
in the House for six sessions, and were never known
to hold an idea in their heads or to be capable
of speaking or writing a single sentence of intel-
ligible English on any imaginable subject, who
burst all at once into syntax and sem*, and
come before constituencies as grave and earnest
thinkers, as solemn statesmen burdened with the
wisdom of experience and responsibility, as rulers
who have been preserving and strengthening and
enriching the country any time these six years,
while an ignorant public supposed them to be
lounging in the lobbies, or rushing in at the crack
of the whip to divisions, or relieving the tedium
of debate by boisterous after-dinner faction and
frolic. It is really fortunate that a dissolution
takes place every five or six years, or we should
never fully know by how much wisdom we are
governed, or at least " conserved."
As we read these addresses day after day, we
frankly confess our estimate of the amount of
legislative wisdom that sits mute or inarticulate
on both sides of the House from one general elec-
tion to another is wonderfully enlarged.
Yet, amidst all the sameness and iteration, two
distinct "motives " (to borrow a word from the
musical critics) seem to run through most of these
election addresses. And it is not very easy to de-
cide which of these two motives is the most re-
markable for originality and the least called for. Not
to disturb the existing institutions of the country
is the stern resolve of the rack of Conservative and
Liberal candidates alike, but especially of Liberal-
Conservatives; as if the hustings about to be erected
in every borough and county town were
to be erected as barriers and bulwarks against
some tremendous popular tempest, threatening
with instant destruction the throne, the altar, and
the constitution, while the very candidates—whether
Liberal or Conservative—who utter these alarming
protests and warnings, appeal in the same breath
to the order, contentment, and tranquillity around
them as evidences of the folly of advancing too fast,
or of the superior wild= of standing still. On
the other hand, every candidate, however conser-
vative, declares himself in favour of some " well-
" eonsidered," or safe, or moderate measure of
Reform. How is this, when Reform, as we have
so often been reminded, is nothing more than a
Radical cry, without an echo from any class of the
oommunity
There is a curious inconsistency in this mixture
of alarm and optimism, of complacency and nest-
le/mess, which so many candidates betray.
Perhaps it is that with the infinitesimal exception
of those who venture to think for themselves, can-
didates have on this occasion borrowed their ideas
from the select speeches of the monalasce for
Chippenham and Stroud. And as those speeches
were borrowed from the late Mr. Clams, this
strange confusion of fact and fancy belongs to an

era very different 15pliallinT*---111‘ w. 164-i•
now the happiness to live, sad elosald be dated
1828 instead of 1865. This oalrabows the silli-
ness of furbishing up your oonservative or liberal
principle* in 1865 from the wardrobes of such
political costumiers as Mr. Lows and Mr.
Homan..
' -• general election, however, is good for some-
thing more than the discovery of latent public
virtue. However vacant or meaningless may be
the programmes which candidates put forth, how-
ever destitute of original thought, they cannot fail
to be the cause of thought in others. They arouse
and stimulate the public mind. They stir the
stagnation of the public conscience. They invite
every peer by to a moment's reflection on the
duties and responsibilities of public men, and
on the (aurae and conduct of public affairs.
They enlarge and exalt for a moment the coarse
and creeping parochial mind, and strike the most
frivolous and the most selfish with something like
the sense of country and the sentiment of a na-
tional existence. Non-intervention, free trade,
reduced taxation, enlarged representation
of the people, economy and efficiency in
the national defences, abolition of religious testa
and disabilities—these are no mere abstractions,
but positive and tangible results of policy which
oome home to the understandings and to the ex-
perience of thousands of common taxpayers,
whether electors or non-electors. There can
hardly be a constituency in the kingdom so be-
nighted as not to own one elector at leaet3wbo
knows what these commonplaces of every
candidate's address really are, and what they
are not ; and who can bring the smooth
professions of a candidate to a short sharp test by
examining him as to what his party and the
leaders of bis party have done in office or out of
I office to promote or to obstruct these great re-
I sults. When a Conservative candidate declares
himself in favour of non-intervention, let us know
what his public language and votes were two years
ago during the strain and stress of the American
civil war. When he declares himself in favour of
a well-considered or judicious Reform Bill, let us
know how he spoke and voted whenever a bill
for enlarging the representation of the people has
been before the House. When he calls himself
a friend to religions liberty, let us know how he
I voted onthe Church-rate question, or on the Aboli-
tion of Tests in the Universities, or on the Catholic
Oath or the Clerical Subscription Bill. When he is
linsisting on administrative economy and efficiency,
let us examine his votes on the army and navy
estimates, or on the proposal to strike off five
I millions from the revenue, for the relief of the
Ibbriey growers. When be proclaims his adhesion to
Free Trade, let us hear bow be spoke or voted on
I the Commercial Treaty with France. When he pro-
tests his tender consideration for the unrepresented
poor, let us call to mind his speeches or his votes on
the Union Chargeability Bill. Deceit, we are told,
lurks in generalities. It will be the fault of the
Liberal constituencies if they allow candidates to
carry a contraband Toryism into power under a
neutral flag.

IT is just a year ago that the disorganization o►
the Liberal party in Ireland seemed to have reached
its worst and final stage. In the vote on the affairs
of Denmark, the Government had been deserted
by eighteen Irish members, and the majority of
these had made no secret of the fact that the part
they had taken in the division was decided, not by
the merits of the question, but by their fixed deter-
mination to put Lord P•ustaarot in a minority
if they could. And yet, even at that moment
there were not wanting sanguine politicians who
I asserted that things had already oome to their
wont—nay, that they were even then be-
, ginning to mend. The diagnosis of the disease had,
according to these observers, been made plain even
to Lord PLLMERBTON himself, and with this impor-
' tent preliminary secured it was thought there
would be little difficulty in devising an appropriate
remedy. On the aasumpticn that the Liberal leader
had at length learned, that if you want men to keep
you in office you must do something to keep them in
good humour, and that in order to obtain an
Irishman's vote conciliation is preferable to insult,
everything might be satisfactorily arranged. The
only question was whether the Palma Miturrta's
conversion was really as near as it was hoped, and
whether its genuineness would stand the test of
the succeeding parliamentary session. It certainly
looks as though these predictions were now
on the eve of turning out true. Incredible
as it would have seemed last July, people
are beginning to talk M the Government majority
being increased by an accession of strength from
Ireland, and even if we treat this particular specu-
lation as a mere item of sanguine gossip, it can
hardly be doubted that Ministers may count on
the support of the actual Irish contingent at the
opening of the new Parliament with greater cer-
tainty than they have been able to do for some
years. Ireland will no longer be an unknown
quantity in the political equation ; the wants of
her constituencies are ascertained, and therefore
the votes of her representatives may be secured.
The process by which this change has been
effected has not been very costly in its character.
The passage int* smooth water has not
demanded the sacrifice of a Ministerial Jonah.
The post of Chief Secretary for Ireland is still
filled by Sir Rosser PEEL, and the Irish members
seem to have condoned his disrespect to the Irish
Bishops on the not very severe condition of an ex-
pression of regret that he had shown it. Two con-
cessions have sufficed to calm this troubled ocean,
and when we consider how very small they are in
I themselves, we can hardly be enough surprised
that there could ever have been any hesitation
',about granting them. A hearty, though unano-
easeful support of a Bill introduced by a Roman
Catholic member, and • consent to allow • Roman
'Catholic college to be affiliated to the Qatari's
University—these are the only offers which the
Government has had to make for its pur-
chase ; and it certainly cannot be de-
nied that they have got Ireland cheap.
Of course it will be said by the Conservatives that
if • nation is to be had on such terms as these its
grievances can hardly be very serious. But it is
at least as obvious a remark that where this is all
'that is demanded there is the less excuse for
refusing it. The facility with which a wrong can
be redressed only adds to the obligation of redrew
lag it. It is a poor excuse for keeping a whole
people in a state of irritation that the causes of
their ill-will are too trifling to be worth doing away
with.

---
The reception which Mr. MONSILL'iI Bill has met
with from the Conservative leader is the Rouse of
Lords contrasts very curiously with the treatment
it had previously received from the Con-
servative leader in the Rouse of Commons.
A good deal of the difference may pro-
bably be attributed to Lord Dazev's nnoonquer-
rabies tendency to say whatever ootnes into his
head ; and the " Rupert of Debate" certainly never
did more to justify bin title than when he gave
vent to the astonishing Mania which served to re-
firm an unusually heavy speech. But Lord
,'Dszef's want of caution, startling as it must have

rag-ti his lieutenants, does not quite explain the
which has come over the attitude of hie
party towards Ireland. That change is in reality
only another %stenos of the perverse results which
commonly attend Mr. Drintalat's most earefully
planned schemes. Nothing could be more loge-
nious than the overtures to the Catholic Members
which he made in his speech on the Oath Bill. He
had to essay an exceedingly delioate manceovre, to de-
tech the IrishCatholievotefrom the government with-
out detaching at the same time the Irish Protestant
vote from himself ; and with this view he tried to
conciliate the one party by maintaining a supposed
safeguard of the Irish Church, while he did his best
to make terms with the other by holding out sha-
dowy insinuations that if the Tories had continued
in office a certain "venerable throne" might not
have been weakened. For anything we know be
might have succeeded, if it had not been for two
things—his ignorance of Ireland, and his exagge-
rated estimate of the value of Parlia-
mentary tactics. The latter quality has
probably done more to keep his party in oppo-
sition than all other causes put together, and
on the eve of • general election its action is pecu-
liarly detrimental. If members were returned for
life Mr. 'helium might be a greet politician, but
he seems utterly unable to realise the existence of
a public out of doors, and in the present instance
he made the further mistake of adapting his bid to
the views of the English Roman Catholics, who
return only one member, instead of to those of the
Irish Roman Catholics, who exercise a real parlia-
mentary influence. The former, as a body, care a
good deal for the temporal power of the POP. ; the
latter ere equally good Catholics, but
their religion is more allied to charity, in that
it begins nearer home. The removal of an
oath which makes them feel that their repreesn-
Wives are " muzzled," and, in so far as they are
so, incapable of representing them adequately, the
concession of • certain status to their own denomi-
national University, and the consequent improve-
ment of the educational opportunities of their
children, have • tangible value in their eyes
which outweighs a whole possible blue-book of
Lord MALMISBURYB unwritten despatches. Mr.
DISRAELI 0001. d. only have gained their support by
offering better terms than Lord PALKERSTON,
and to have done this would have been to sur-
render without • blow the entire Conservative
platform, and to throw his whole party into utter
sad irremediable confusion. Lord DIARY'S speech
on Monday wee a confession that the manoeuvre
had failed, and that nothing remained but to iden-
tify himself more prominently than ever with the
interests of political Protestantism in Ireland.
Hereafter men may look back to the closing debate
of the six years' Parliament as the first step in the
contest between the Commons and the Lords on
the question of the Irish Establishment. Lord
DERBY has not been fortunate in his policy of
parliamentary resistance, and we thankfully accept
the omen.

Tilt Dreeoximon.—Parliament is to be dis-
solved to-morrow (Thursday) week, the 6th of
July. We believe this resolution will give very
general satisfaction. The fear that any important
interest may' suffer by the limitation of the time
for transacting private business has been greatly ex-
aggerated, and, se Lord REDIVIDALE now admits,
there will be less injury done than has been com-
monly assumed. On the other hand, as Earl
Gnarrrixue observed last night, great inconvenience
is sustained by large classes of persons through
every day's delay of the dissolution, now that
the public business of the country has been
transacted. The House of Lords will sit to-mor-
row, and its standing orders relating to private
bills will be suspended for the remainder of the
session. A great number of private bills have
passed within the last few days, and in the opinion
of the Chairman of Committees, the parties to those
which remain in an unfinished state at the dis-
solution will have themselves obieily to blame. The
elections, early begun, will be the sooner over, and
when the battle of the ?dazzlers and anti-Muzzlers
is finished, we msy hope to settle down in the
enjoyment of quiet and of the bountiful harvest
which appears to be in store for us.
