IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

The House of Commons sesemhled thiv day, for the purpose
of swearing hon. members, which ceremony wee encoded

novelty requiring nottee.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Cloek.
We yesterday announced the capitulation of Fri-
burg, and gave the particulars of that event as they
appeared in the official organ of the French govern-
ment, together with the account of our own corres-
pondent. The receipt of further advices proves the
correctness, in every particular, of our correspondent's
version of the surrender, and manifests very clearly
the animus of the Journal des Debater. There was
no " sanguinary combat in front of Friburg ;" neither
had General Aalis-Soglio "penetrated into Argue,
and take possession of the important position of
Zofingen.' Both these statements, which ap-
peared officially in the DEbats, were equally
destitute of truth. Friburg surrendered almost
without a shot, on the 14th. The heights round the
city were all occupied by the Federal army on the
previous day, and the division of Colonel Ochsenbein
had taken up a position within three-quarters of a
league of Friburg, without a serious resistance
having been experienced upon any point. Tho
" bloody combat," says our Pans correspond-
ent, announced by the journals of M. Guizot
as preceding the surrender of Friburg, had for
its result four killed and eight wounded—total of
both parties! The commander-in-chief, having left
some companies in quiet occupation of Friburg, re-
turned, accompanied by the commander of the artil-
lery, the same afternoon to Berne, and so the " Fri-
barg" campaign is ended. The announcement, made
exclusively by the Journal des Debats, of a successful
diversion of the troope of the Souderbund, proves to be
unfounded. General Salis-Soglio, at the head of
some troops of Lucerne, advanced across the frontier,
and marched into the canton of Argau, where he met
with prompt and vigorous resistance, and was forced
to retreat into Lucerne, with the loss of 240 men,
chiefly killed. In fact all the diversions attempted
by the Sonderbund during the operation against Fri-
burg failed. The division which had penetrated, ac-
cording to former accounts, to Dieswyl, were met at
Gettwy, close to Mari, where a severe engagement
took place. The combat lasted half-an-hour, when
the invaders retired, leaving a number of dead and
wounded on the field. The federal Captain Fischer,
of Strengelbech, near Zofingen, was killed, and nine
wounded Argovians were removed to the hospital
of Aran. Several others, more severely injured, re-
mained at Muri.
The accounts from the sidelof Tessin and Uri were
also favourable to the government. The Uri
were shat up in St. Gothard, and would, in all troopsik
.
hood, be obliged to lay down their arms. The
paeses to that mountain canton were commanded by
the federalists.
It was reported that the federal troops had already
entered the canton of Lucerne. The Jesuits had all
taken flight from Friburg and sought refuge in Neuf-
chatel, before the surrender of the city on the 14th.
The Berne journals of the 16th say that the diet
met on that day, and, after receiving an official noti-
fication of the surrender of Friburg, and the condi-
tions of the capitulation, appointed, in virtue of
article 6, three federal representatives to proceed to
Friburg, and there adopt whatever measures they
might consider necessary in the interests of the federal
government. The three commissioners set oat for
Friburg immediately after the sitting of the diet. The
Vorort, immediately after the receipt of the news of
the capitulation of Friburg, ordered a portion of the
troops who had been sent against that place to marsh
towards Lucerne.

Our Paris despatches of Thursday have arrived.
They state that the ring of forts by which the French
capital is pretended to be protected from foreign ag-
gression, but the real purpose of which is effectually
to curb any popular movement within it, is about to
be rendered still more efficient. Several additional
" Bastille'," as they are called, are intended to be
erected. One is to be placed on the heights in the
park of St. Cloud ; another at Mendon ; and another
at Sevres. Surveys for these and others have been
made within the last ten days. To lessen the diffi-
culties which may arise on the subject in the Cham-
ber a part of the cost of their construction is to come
out of the funds of the civil list.

We have Madrid news to the 13th. The deputies
were arriving, and the moderados were to have had •
preliminary meeting on Saturday. It was expected
that M. Mon would be elected president of the repre-
sentative chamber. It was believed that the king
would accompany the Queen at the opening of the
legislative session. According to the Popular,
the Infante Don Francisco de Paula was pre-
paring to return to Madrid. The Prow states
that the queen was of late in a precarious state
of health, and that she was subject to frequent attacks
of melancholy. The Union Bank had suspended its
payments, but strong hopes were entertained of its
being able to resume.

A private letter from Liverpool, received by a mer-
chant in the City this mmuwg, announces that the
murderer of Major Mahon bad been discovered there,
and taken into custody.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN GROVER.—Died,lt Brune*
on the 6th inst., Captain Grover, F.H.B. Circumstances ars
yet fresh in the mind of the
.public connecting this gallant
officer with the indefatigable Dr. Wolff. By him the mission
of the worthy doctor toßokkara was projected, and his chi-
valrous conduct in raiaing. the Stoddart and Conolly
Fund" is well known. It is much to be feared that lus
exertions in that canoe contributed to his early death, since
it was observed by ilia friends that after that event he
appeared gradually to lase, his voice, and to fail in, bodily,
though he never scanted mental energyvd To ibis exertions
Dr. Wolff owes the preservation of hislife,44lOisinterven-
tion, at Bokhara, of the friendly power of Peria:e. Lord
Aberdeen will long remember his interviews with this able
officer. Educated at Soho, under Dr. Barrow, contemporary
with Air John Moore, he was well known for a gentleman of
higlr'acientitle pews% to *elate Captain Hunter, who left

MADRID, Nov. 13.
The Expeetador announoes the arrival of an Eng-
lish diplomatist with an important and delicate mission, 'of
which," adds the reduce prereeteta paw, "we wish not
to obstruct the Koreas by untimely remarks." I can only
suppose that this journal refers loth. ar:ival at Madrid of
Mr. Monektoa Milner.

The opening of the parliamentary session will take place
la the palace of the senate on Monday. Although the Queen
gents at the notion of reading the ministerial speech, end
aceording to some has absolutely refused, when I visited the
royal stables yesterday I saw them rubbing the wheels and
panels of the state carriages for the occasion, so that
minister', it seems, have no doubt of her giving in when it
comes to the push.
The act of impeachment against &Lunatics has, I hear,
been drawn up. A young hot heeded moderedo deputy
Moron, has engaged to undertake the task of laying it
before the If the accusation is brought forward,
Olosega will, I ear, move se an amendment, that the in-

Pavia arrived at Barcelona oath, night of the 7th, accom-
panied by General Perez, and a strong escort of cavalry.
Don Francisco, Fontanelle, the commissioner of the Bank
of San Fernando, will resume possession of all the govern-
ment funds belonging to that province.
The mercantile crisis continues. Various are the houses
whose credit is supposed to be compromised. The failure is
said to be imminent of a large establishment which, since
Wednesday, has neglected to fulfil its ongegnments with
pouctualit7.
- Gement Deurildme Ortega has been banished suddenly to
quarters at Coruna. He was sitting the night before last
with friends, when the government order to start the fol-
lowing morning for this distant destination reached him
This blow is cousin-german to the one dealt upon Alsiz
Ortega applied to the government te change his destination
from Comtism to Aragon, but was not listened to.
Andres Borrego was gestated yesterday as plenipotentiary
minister to the Swiss Diet.

THE BRITANNIA.—The Britannia steamer, Captain
Harrison, sailed from Liverpool yesterday, for Halifax and
Boston. She carries out no specie.
THE NEW PARLIAMENT.—The House of Commons,
which assembled for the first time on Thursday, is the fifth
Parliament of the new era of Reform. The last met for the
first time in August, 1841, and lasted six years. The present
Speaker, Mr. C. S. Lefevre, has now been elected to the
chair of the House of Commons for the third time. The
right hon. gentleman was originally proposed by the Mel-
bourne Ministry on the retirement of Mr. Abercromby, now
Lord Dunfermline, and only obtained the distinguished
poet which he has ever since so ably and impartially occu-
pied by the narrow majority of 18 votes over his opponent,
Mr. Ooulburn, the Es-Chancellor of the Exchenuer. This
occurred in May, 18.19. When Parliament was dissolved two
years afterwards (in June, 1841), it was pretty generally
expected that Mr. Lefevre would be relieved from his respon-
sibilities, and removed from the chair of the House by the
newly-acquired Tory majority. The event turned out other-
wise, for, in consequence of a representation or remonstrance
in favour of the ex-Speaker, which was presented to the
proximate Premier, Sir R. Peel, by a considerable number
of his supporters, no attempt was made to disturb Mr.
Lefevre in the possession of hie seat, and he was accordingly
re-elected nem dist. On Thursday the same gentleman once
more had the honour to be banded to the chair of the new
House of Commons, without:a voice:being raised against the
motion to seat him. In fact, since the memorable ejection of
the late Viscount Canterbury in 183,5, the re-election of the
ex-Speaker has never been opposed on the re-assembling of
the House of Commons.
A DINNER to celebrate the new maaterships of the
Quern and Cottesmore Hounds, by Sir Richard Sutton and
Mr. Greaves, took place at the George Hotel, Melton, on
Wednesday last. There was a good muster of the gentlemen
and farmers of the neighbourhood, but there were not many
of the members of either hunt present.
ANOTHER OPINION ON HEDGE-ROWS. At the
monthly meeting of the Peterborough Farmers' Club on the
13th inst., a discussion on the injurious effects of high hedges,
ani timber-trees in hedge-rows led to the following reeolu- I
tion :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that hedges
are generally injurious to the proper cultivation of arable
farms, but where hedges are necessary as division fences,
they ought to be kept low ; that trees in hedge-rows are a
still greater evil, and they occasion • serious loss to the
community, inasmuch as they prevent all corn or roots near
them growing to maturity, and even when suffered to stand
for 20 or 30 years, are themselves comparatively worthless.
Trees requisite for farming p¢ are therefore recom-
mended to be grown in detached groups, in positions peat_ I
liarlyJ adapted for them."
OOII3IIBBION OF LUNACT.—This morning a com-
mission of lunacy was opened at the Sheriff's-office, Red
Lion-square, before Francis Barlow, R.q., to inquire into the
state of mind of Alexander Weddell, gent., of William-street,
Regent's-park. No counsel, appeared on either side, and
the learned cossmiasioner briefly described the nature of the
ease as set forth in the affidavit on which the commission
was boned, from which it appeared that the unfortunate
gentleman was very advanced in age, being about 90, and
that there was such a great loss of memory that he was
decidedly of unsound mind, and almost help-
less. He was also at some times violent. Dr.
Tonlmin, of Blackheath, was called, and proved that be
visited Mr. Weddell professionally in October last, and he
had no hesitation in saying he (Mr. W.) was then in as un-
sound state of mind. He had attended him five or six years
ago, when he appeared to be breaking fast under the weight
of old age. He was now totally usable unable to take care
of himself, or manage his affairs.—Mr. Mott, surgeon, of
Howland-street. Fitzroy-square, gave similar evidence, hay.
ing attended Mr. Weddell for several months. Mr. Wed-
dell was present. and his answers clearly showed he was in
the state described, and the jury returned • verdict accord-

RAILWAYS.—There has scarcely been any busi-
ness in shoes, the large failure announced this
morning having indisposed dealers to specula*.
Prices however remain tolerably steady, and Scotch
lines are all in good demand, more especially North
British, Scottish Central, Caledonian, &c., &c.

CORN.—ELY, Nov. 18.—We had a large attend-
ance at our market to-day, and a moderate slimly of grabs;
the trade in general extremely dull ; and for all descriptions
prices had a downward tendency.
EXETIR, Nov. 19.—Great firmness has been shown by
holders of English Wheat, who have generally succeeded in
maintaining last week's prices. For beet samples, 7s. 9d. to
Be. per bushel, and 7e. to 7s. 6d. for inferior tarts. Foreign
Wheat has been offered by Mr. Fry: Petersburg, red, at 485.;
Polish Odessa, red, 52e. ; American white, 585.; and
Dantric whit*, at 625. per quarter. Barley, 4e. to 4s. 3d. ;

265. ; Tares, 7.. 6d. to Si. Bd. per bushel.

ROLL, Nov. 19.—The grain trade has been generally in.
active and where sales are made rather lower prices have to
be taken. The supply of English Wheat has been rather
large, and 2a. per qr. lower rates accepted. Barley slow of
sale, at Is. to 2s. per qr. decline. Coate being scarce, com-
mead Is. per qn advance. Beam and Peas were sold early
in the week at Is. per qr. decline ; but they are now firmer
again. Rye Meal command a good sale at 71. per ton.
Nitrate of Soda commands 12s. per cwt. Linseed Cakes
have been more inquired for, owing to the sudden change
in the weather, from being nild and open to snow and very
sharp frost; but the sales are principally confined to the beat
qualities of foreign and Hull-made. Rape Cakes
same as last week; alas Bones and Guano.
The arrival, of Linseed this week consist of 5,650 qrs. from
Kertoh ; 940 qrs. from Riga ; 1,175 qrs. from Konigsburg ;
and 1,600 qrs. Petersburg—together, 9,265 qrs. Thee. sup-
plies being moderato, end not pressed on the market, prices
have been wall supported in the sales effected. The demand
continues very. good from the crushers whose consumption is
now so extensive as to keep the market from being overdone
with supplies. Black Sea is worth 48s. • fine heavy Peters-
burg, 465.; middling quality, 425. to 4-4. ; down to 395. for
inferior • Archangel, 40e. es 415.: Riga, 41s. to 445.; no

40e. ; inferior, 365. to 37.. per qr. For arrival, an ad-
vance of 1.. to 2.. per quarter on them rates is required.
The shipments from the Upper Baltic ports may be con-
sidered to have oeased for this year, and even from the lower
porta nothing of consequence will now be sent off. The want
of confidence has materially curtailed the ehipments this
autumn, whilst a very extensive consumption is going on in
this country; and as no stocks have accumulated, we shall
have to rely upon large and continued arrivals nner the
winter, for the eupply of crashers' wants. Rapeseed. A
parcel of very fine Danish is offering at 271. 10.. per last.

LINCOLN, Noy. 19.—We hays bad a fair show of Wheat

than last Friday. Red, 60a. to 645. ; white, 60s. to 68s. A
small show of Barley, at last week's rates; very little doing
in Oats, at last week's pricer—may, 20e. to 24e. Beans, new,
44e. to '461.

LIVERPOOL, NOV. 19.—We continue to be scantily
supplied with any kind of produce coastwise and Ire-
land, and have nothing worth naming from America this
week ; whilst the only arrivals from the Continental ports of
Europe, since our last, consist merely of a few. parcels of
Wheat, Barley, and Indian Corn, all through the Mediter-
ranean. Since our market of the 16th mast., and up to this
date, Indian Cern and,Corn Meal have continued to meet a
fair inquiry on the full tern i then stated ; but for Wheat,
Flour' and all other articles of the Corn trade, the demand
has been languid, and prices rather easier. owing to the
general dullness in London, the downward tendency ex-
hibited in many of the provincial markets this week,
and the,abeenoe of any enlivening features for the moment.
At . this day's market the transactions in any description of
Wheat were upon a very limited scale and having few
country millers in attendance, even the best qualities of that
'grain were slightly depressed in value, and the general runs
of English, huh, and Foreign must be noted ld. to 2d. per
701 b. &taper. States and Canadian Flour, though not in
lively request, continued to meet some inquiry,. and prime
brands, being stiltvery scarce, fully supported late prices.
Irish and home-made nappies remain steady in value. Barley
and Malt ruled nearly the same as last noted. Beane and
Peas, upon a moderate sale, realised the extreme rata. of
Tuesday. Stood Irish Oats, of which we have very friezr
colsifresh in, WIPE rather more saleable, and the best
kinds the turn dearer ;' while undried and the several dames
of foreign remain unvaried. Oatmeal, with an improved de-
:nand, advanced 6d. per load. Indian Con, the stock here
becoming ler weakly, and having, a renewed inquiry for In-
land, several further tolerably large ease were effected this
moorrnninmgg,, and in some cases our last quotations were rather
exceeded. Corn Meal wan also a shade higher in value.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LOHDS.—FRIDAY, Nov. 19.
The Lords Comornierioners, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Earl Grey, the Earl of Auckland, Lord Langdale, and Lord
Campbell, took their seats at 2 o'clock.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, addressing Sir Augustus
Clifford, the usher of the black rod, said. Let the Com-
mons know that the Lords Commimioners desire theirattend-
.

anee immediately in this house.
The Commons, aseerdingly, headed by Mr. flaw Lefevre,
appearing at the bar,
Mr. S. LEFEVRE said: I have to acquaint your lord-
ships that in obedience to her Majesty's commands, and in
the exercise of their undoubted rights and privileges, her
Majesty's faithful Commons have proceeded to the election
of a Speaker, and as the object of that choice, however un-
worthy I now submit myself to her Majesty's approval.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said Mr. Shaw Leferre,
we are commanded by her Majesty to enure you that her
Majesty is so 'enable of your admirable sufficiency for the
discharge of the important duties which her Majesty's faith-
hal Commons have elected you to execute, that her Majesty
most fully approves and confirms you as their Speaker.
The SPEAKER said : My lords, it is with the deepest
gratitude that I bow to the deckion of the Rouse of Com-
mons, confirmed as it has been by her Majesty's most graci-
ous approval, and it now becomes my duty, in the name
and on the behalf of her May's faithful Commons of the
United Kingdom, to lay claim, by humble petition, to all
their ancient and undoubted rights and privileges, especially
those of freedom of arrest in their person or their servants,
freedom of debate, and free access to her Majesty whenever
occasion may require it. And I have also to ask that her
Majesty will be pleased to put the most favourable construc-
tion en all our words and actions, and that if any error be
committed, that error may be attributed to me alone, and
not to her Majesty's faithful Commons.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said . Mr. Speaker, we
have it further in command from her Majesty to inform
you that her Majesty most readily confirms all the rights
and privileges which have been ever granted and conferred
on the Commons by her Majesty, er by any of her Majesty's
royal predecessors. With respect to yourself, although her
Majesty is sensible that you stand in no need of any such
insurance, yet her Majesty will ever put the most favourable
construction upon your words and actions.
The Commons then withdrew, and the further sitting of
their was occupied with the sweeriag-in of peers.

HOUSE OF COMMONS —FBIDAY Nor. 19.

The house assembled in considerable numbers between
1 and 2 o'clock.
The Speaker took his seat at the table, the only mark of
official id nity which the right hon. gentleman assumed
being a barrister's wig, which, contrasted with the flowing
robes usually worn by him, presented rather an odd appear-
ance.
At 18 minutes part 2, Sir Augustus Clifford, the usher of
the black rod, appeared at the bar, sad, approaching the
table with the customary inclinations, said :—Mr. Speaker
The Lords Commissioners are authorised, by virtue of her
Majesty's commission, to require the immediate attendance
of this hon. house in the House of Peers.
The Speaker, conducted by Lord Seymour and Mr. J. A.
Smith, and preceded by his mace bearer, repaired to the
House of Lords, as soon as the black rod had disappeared.
A considerable cort4e of members accompanied the right
hon. gentleman. After an absence of about five minutes,
The Speaker returned in the same form, and took his
station on the step of his chair. He then said :—I
have to acquaint the house that I have been this day
to the House of Lords, when I communicated to the lords
nominated in her Majesty's commission that this house had
proceeded to its election of a Speaker, and that the choice
had for the third time fallen upon me. The Lords Commis-
sioners,
on behalf of her Msjeaty, have confirmed that choice,
and signified also her 'dainty's moat gracious approval. I
then laid claim, on the part of the house, to all the emus-
tomed and undoubted privileges possessed by this house—
the freedom from arrest for its members, the freedom of
debate, free access to her Majesty at all reasonable times, and
that her Majesty would place the most favourable constres-
tion on all our words and actions. My Lords Cemadmiesen
were authorised by her Majesty to concede all these desiasda
I cannot make this communication to the house withostten-
dering my thanks for having been again placed in the high
position which I occupy ; assuring the house that it will
be always alike my endeavour, as my desire, with its assist-
ance—and after the proceedings of yesterday, I feel confident
I shall always have that support—to uphold the dignity and
independent* of this house—(cheersl—and that respect for
its rules and orders, upon the prompt obedience to which
not only do public and private business depend, hut also the
character of the house itself. (Cheers.) I have now to
remind the house that the only business which can at present
be proceeded with is tho administering of the oaths required
by law.
The clerks at the table then proceeded to tender the cus-
tomary oaths, the solemnity being first completed by the
speaker, who signed afterwards the parliamentary roll and
the other declaration, after which the members were called
up by rota, according to the alphabetical list of counties.
The members for Bedkirdsaire were first called, and after-
wards those for Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Chester,
and Cornwall ; whereupon se many of theknights of the shire,
elitism and bargees", from theee counties as were present
made a circle round the table and took the oaths. Among
rtecthus formed we ebeerred Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Dia-
Kr. Law, Sir J. Jervis, the Hon. Mr. Campbell, OM-

they elymil the rolls of parliament. All the new sew
sweat in during the day were introduced to the Speaker by
the chief clerk, who repeated their names in a loud yoke
after they had pissed the table,whereupon they shook hands
with the right hoe. gentleman. The greatest part of the old
members also interchanged the usual salutations with tha
Speaker, wishing him health and patience to perform the
arduous duties of another parliament.
The next counties called in alphabetical order were Cum-
berland, Derby, Dorset, and Essex, when about 20 more hon.
members presented themselves, and went through the same
ceremonial. During the swearing in of this group an inci-
dent occurred which excited some little smusement. An
elderly member, new to the house, in ignorance of its
usages, before the speaker, and between the '
right hongentleman and the table. A load of Order,
order," from all parts of the house, ap asti to mish
the hon. offender, who looked around in some surprise,
as if to ascertain the cause of such exclamations at a
moment when no hon. member was addressing the house.
A whisper from a friend better acquainted than himself
with the farms of the house, suddenly awoke the new
representative to a fall sense of the seeming disrespect
to the chair which he had just unwittingly com-
mitted. The hon. gentleman, upon being introduced to the
Speaker shortly efterwards, appeared to apologise with much
earnestness and sincerity for his involuntary breach of
etiquette, and the speaker evidently receive the tiPlins,
don with great good humour.
Two tables covered with green baize were here brought in,
in order to allow of a greater number of members being
sworn at the same time. _ The_counties now called were

in idea, that parliaments of late years have generally
passed by almost acclamation the very measures which
their majority was especiallyelected to stifle and reject.
The history of each session tells the same story. Itopens
I with the apparition of some mighty spectre, hailed by
a small and liberal minority, but exorcised and
dreaded by the overwhelming mass of voices. As
the session advances, this spectre, be h religious
emancipation, electoral reform, or free trade, be-
comes more constant in its presence, more fami-
liar in its features, fascinating its enemies, para-
lysing and benumbing the efforts of those whose
adherence it cannot win; until at the eleventh
hour, too late for many of its beneficial effects, the
great popular opinion forces itself into the authority
and ascendancy of a parliamentary one ; and of six
hundred gentlemen more than one-halt: are found
busily and zealously undoing the political labour of
their lives. _ .

--- —.—
Were we, then, to be guided by the history of the
past, we should merely have to ask, at the opening of
a parliament's first session, what was the most
rooted, and at the same time the moat lofty
and prominent prejudice, that moat cherished and
toasted by the old tones, and the abrogation of which
was most loudly demanded by a small band of men,
vilified perhaps as radicals, and who have the misfortune
of always being some tensor fifteen years in advance of
their brethren. Could we fix upon such a prejudice,
such • monopoly, or such an abuse at present, in
this, the hour of a new parliament's birth,
we might fairly argue from the history of
the past that it had at most but six
years to live, if, indeed, the experience of the in-
expediency of resisting to the very last, and fighting
desperate and forlorn battles, did not warn the toriea
of the day, how much better it is to compromise all
such quarrels, and to make terms ere the battlements
of defence be battered about their ears..

The parliament now opening differ'', however, from
its predecessors in there being no great spectre, novery
great and prominent question of the kind. What
proses, is principally the removal of odds and ends
of old monopolies or antiquated intolerance, of

which the _ strength lies in their not being impor-
tant enough to arouse any general or popular resist-
ance to them. The questions likely to occupy parlia-
ment are more calculated to perplex by their intricacy,
than to interest strongly those party feelings, which
at least crush a difficulty by force, if it cannot be
solved or removed by patience or wisdom. The
currency question is not a party one, nor have all
the efforts of Birmingham rendered it popular and
intelligible. Ireland might be made a theme for
awakening the old rancour and prejudices of class
and creed; but in their decisions upon Irish politics
the great majority is more and more each day influ-
enced by purely economical arguments and motives,
wisely setting aside that mixture of political and
religious rancour which has so long shaded and
obscured a question intrinsically one of population,
employment, and food.
Those questions which now thrust themselves for-
ward at the premature opening of the session do not,
therefore, strike us as the great and permanently pro-
minent ones of the new parliament.
A much more vital and all-interesting question will
be the due imposition and equalisation of the burdens
of the country. It is a subject too vast to enter upon
here. But it is sufficient to characterise the entire

system as one, which presses with hundredfold weight
upon the earner, and spares idleneee to screw the
uttermost farthing out of industry ; proportioning the
burden, not to property, but to the efforts to amass
and acquire it. The income tax, about to expire, will,
with the inevitable deficiency of the revenue, open out
all these questions at an early period. The tones are
already buckling on their armour for it. They de-
nounce as menacing to their existence, any further
extension of direct taxation. And, if we mistake not,
the liberal party will be as opposed to the extension,
unless the tax be laid upon realised property.
If any question can be considered in the light of
those which were described at the commencement of
this article, it is the question of more equable
and wise taxation—one that implies relief bout the
vexations of excise and the superfluous intermeddling
of customs. That in the sixth session of the third par-
liament of Queen Vic ronin our tariff will be far
different from what it is, and our whole system
of taxation changed, who can doubt ? The only
doubt at present is, whether Lord JOHN RUSISELL or
Sir Rona= PEAL will make the fret and decisive
move. 'We have beard that both are this moment
meditating it.

We print in another column a letter from "A
Commissioner of Sewers," defending the Westminster
commiasion from certain strictures of ours contained
in an article of Wednesday last.
We are delighted to learn that our picture of the
Westminster commission is no longer a faithful one.
We are glad to be informed that at act of last session
has given to the commissioners that power to build
new sewers which we represented them as not pos-
sessing. We confess that we were not aware of such
anßactut oarbaying beennd nt Psaledcharg. es us with misrepre.
sentations, the disc edit of which, if misrepresenta-
tions they be, properly falls on the report of the Mary-
lebone committee, from which we quoted. On referring
to our article, it will be seen that our remarks on the
prohibition of drainage into existing sewers are made
to the past tense. They profess to describe what was
not what is. Our correspondent is very much in
error if he supposes us actuated by any peculiar hos-
tility to existing commissions. We complain, as we
have always complained, of the system, and not indi-
vidushi. have asserted, and believe, that if the
seven existing tZunmisaionfi were all that they could
be made, under th.' beet management, and with the
most ample powers, they mast still fail in their work
of effectually sewering the metropolis. They want
a machinery for co-operation. They are eared,
when they should he one. If they are to
remain seven, they should form • federal union
with a central body, composed of delegates from the
constituent boards. For the uniform action, which
would thus be rendered possible, all the most im-
portant materials are, it is true, still wanting. There
is no general survey of London, with the oontour
lines noes cry for ascertaining the levels at a glance.
But we should thus at once get rid of such drawbacks
as the non-coincidence of the present commissions

with the natural areas of drainage, and the resulting
want of command over the °Walls. The very
boundary lines between two neighbouring commis-
sions, as for instance between the Finsbary
and Holb '
orn, and the Westminater, are vague
and hardly ascertained. Our attacks have bean
on a system which perpetuates such absurdi-
ties as these. We have moreover, cried out
against theof large and irresponsi6:o
bodies doonnimioners. They fall into one of twe
- - -

vicious states. Either the work gradually becomes
monopolised by a few of their number, or when all
take part in it it is jobbed—dons at great
cost, and imperfectly. It is almost impossible
in such commisnons to overcome the tempta-
tions to snug arrangements, in which the con-
tracting pulses are benefited at the expense of the
public+. The rate-payers can have no real control over
commisoons nominated by the LORD CHANCELLOR.
Their members are virtually self-electing, and prima-
oally include a majority of persons utterly unfitted,
by bkbb and knowledge, for the work they are sup-
posed to perform.
