LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH it

Ties House of Lords have at length had an op-
portunity of displaying the superior wisdom to
which they lay claim in affairs of high policy, by
discussing in all its varied aspects the Commercial
Treaty with France. The public, however, will
hardly consider that in this instance their Lordships
have shewu that they poems either deeper saga-
city or keener wit than their less pretentious
fellow-legislators of the Commons. With few
exceptions the arguments on both sides used last
night in the Upper House were the seen that we
have had so often reiterated during the last six
weeks in the Lower, and for the most part with
their point worn off. On the government side
this was in some degree inevitable. An Adminis-
tration, when it has to carry &great measure through
two Houses of Parliament which sit separately but
nnitiguoualy, and distinctly yet practically in pre-
sence of one another, cannot venture to vary much
the reasoning or the language it makes use of. Whe-
ther it be good or whether it be bad it is safer to
stick to one story than to try the efficacy of different
tales. This is so in any case, but especially so in
the present, where the tone having been once set
by the great musician of international concord, it
would have been worse than folly to strike any
note in another key for mere sake of novelty, as
far ea his colleagues or supporters were coucerned.
Considering the persusaive power Kr. Gl.arsrtuea's
arguments have been found to poems in one
Assembly, it warn not to be expiated that Lord
Woi.rmoras and the Duke of ARGYLL would ven-
ture to depart from them materially when ad-
dressing the other. Yet, considering on the other
hand the dismal and iliseistrons faihsre of the line
of reasoning urged by the Opposition in the Com-
ment it aught have been anticipated that Lord
Ilair would be able to do something better than
Kr. Honsinaw, and that Lord DERBY would have
endeavoured to obliterate the recollection of Mr.
Dniamixes recent failures. Our readers, how-
ever, will find little beyond a compilation
of the arguments with which they have been
familiarised of late on the general policy of the
Treaty and the Budget. It was quite right that
the subject should be once more debated, and that
before anal dismissal to the shelf of contemporary
history it should undergo the scrutiny of a body of
critics so far removed from ordinary commercial
iIIHUCILOS as the ifouso of Lords; and it is emi-
nently satisfactory to tied that it has passed through
that ordeal without the detection of any Saw or
defect that might have escaped the notice of a
more excitable body of jurors.

The Address in the Peers was appropriately
moved by Lord Termites, who for so many years
had filled the afire a President of the Board of
Trade, and by whom the repeal of the Navigation
Laws was carried ten years ago. The maiden
speech in the Upper House of a veteran debater,
recently SUlslartuned from the Lower, has a
peculiar interest for those who care for
the personal characteristics of Parliament. To
our thinking Lonl Tat PITON has improved
upon Mr. Lasso .'area : no one certainly could
have performed the task assigned to hint with more
judgment, good taste, and efficiency than the
newly-created baron. The seconder of the Ad-
dress, Lord Coss, could hardly be expected to'
command the same degree of attention ; but there
are evidences of promise about the noble earl'.
speech, and proofs that he is not wanting in the
intellectual qualities to which he has hereditary
claims. The ablest, if not the pleasantest speech
of the night was that of Earl Gasv. Its design
&reins to have been that of a comprehensive suns- '
:nary of objections to con 1111111111 l treaties and
popular budgets in general, and to Mr. CUSDIJIriII
Treaty and Mr. Guinevoet's Budget of the pre-
sent year us particular. And it cannot be denied
that Lord I:siry contrived to repeat in the enures
of an hour and a half nearly all the disagreeable
thimp that we have heard a.. often said already on
the eubject. But tln-re was neither the
spice of Sir Htou CAlttn«, nor the spite
of Mr. Homaxe. He lordship's speech reads
lumberingly. It 'es like a heavy - laden
train up an incline, the engine working at low
premium, plenty of smoke, less man than usual,
and not the least danger of getting off the rails.
Lord Hese moved no amendment, but was simply
Conant to be Nee-contrait. Re did not choose
that the House of Lords should sham the moral
responsibility of Ministers ; but he was still snore I
unwillusg to take epee himself the individual
responsibility of alienating a counter-scheme of
