LONDON. MONDAY, 713. 7.

ltfretteeas hays gives meth* of their immediate
intention to intrudes* semmteen Bills on as many
different subjects. They have also announced that
it is slot their intention at present to introduce a
Reform Bill. The reason assigned for the indefinite
postponement of the latter is that it had better be
deferred " until the urgent buiiness of the country
tt shall have been disposed of." For some hours
people were wondering what the urgent business
could be that formed a sufficient excuse for each
unexpected delay in dealing with a subject which
of all others has been for some time confeseedlyupper-
most in men's thoughts. We have now, however, the
explanation before us. There are seventeen questions
of such national urgency, that they must be enter-
tained by Parliament before anything elm. The settle-
ment of a question upon which the hearta of the
industrious and intelligent community have long
been fixed, may be deemed by some men important;
but its importance is nought when compared with
the disposal of the seventeen pressing particular'
disclosed on Friday night, concerning the most of
which it would probably be too much to say that
one-Neventeenth part of the community felt the
seventeenth part of a sensation. If we except them-
tice given for leave to introduce a Church Rate Bill,
and that which regards the transfer of land,
there is not one affecting England which can be
designated as occupying a place in popular srxpee-
tation ; and out of six notices of Bills having special
reference to Ireland, there is but one about which it
can be contended that any general interest in that
country is felt. We are not now discussing the
probable merits or demerits of any of the measures
forthshadowed. They may be good, bad, or in-
different; when we see them we shall be able to tell.
But what we have to do with here is to weigh them
in their collective capacity—a capacity which foe
their own sake and that of their authors we
regret should have been unnecessarily imparted
to them. A Bill to regulate the sale of
Poisons may possibly be desirable, and a Bill to
amend the leer regarding Lunatics in private asy-
lum/ no doubt is so; but why pre-indispose all
plain-dealing people to listen to arguments in favour
of one or the other, by thrusting these unpolitical
projects in the way of political change, and labelling
them "matters of urgency"? An Act for the com-
pulsory Registration of Deeds may or may not be •
useful addition to the Statute-book; and au Act for
the extension of the Encumbered Estates Court to
Great Britain may perhaps be deemed advisable.
But it is nurse than a farce to endorse either the
one or the other, " pressing and immediate." The
same remark applies to the notice given by the
Arruefree-Oxiies: it for leave to introduce a mea-
sure fee the complete consolidation and classifica-
tion of the Criminal Laws of England and Ireland.
Theoretically, nothing can be considered as more
expedient ; practically, few things that could be at-
tempted are likely to call forth a greater amount of
diversity of opinion. Only one thing is clear—that
nobody unconnected with Government dreamt of
such a proposal being made at the commencement of

the maim, if at all ; and that since the defeat of the
Conspiracy Bill, badly anyone has troubled his
head about the assimilation which that ill-starred
measure sought iu one instance to effect. With all
its faults, however, the Conspiracy Bill could with
truth be tanned a matter of urgency; not so in any
sense or form the huge measure of Criminal Codifi-
cation which Parliament is now called on to
consider.

The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Amendment Bill
is to be introduced this evening by the LORD CHAN-
CRLLoR in the Upper House. This we are willing to
subtract, t hers Lae, tram the catalogue of obstructive
measures. Bat with this exception, and that of the
Church lire Bill in the Lower House, we feel com-
pelled to say that a more suspicious-looking list we
have seldom perused at the commencement of •
session. Nor is this all. Ministers have already
spread these stop-the-way measures over every Go-
vernment night for the next fortnight. By the name{
the Ileum they arc entitled to give questions of ways
or means, or minietterial motions like that on Indian
Finance, prsret,ence of the orders of the day. The
last named !opie has already been died for this night
week, and a st.temtnt by the First Lord of the
Admiralty regarding the navy is genemlly expected
on an estly dxy. The result is, that while the
seventeen urge rat Hill, are kept upon the threatening
notice paper, their discussion may be deferred from
night to n Ott. ar.,l from week to week until the
present month is spent. Then will come of necessity
Committee of Supply, and the unavoidable dis-
cussions on the &tuna's for military and naval pur-
ports during the current year ; so that if the House
consents to he tri!led withAstock ofexemes is already
provided for nut entertaining the question of Re-
form until after Easter. But will the House submit
to be dealt with in this fashion? The divisions which
have hitherto existed io the Liberal party may to •
certain extant still weaken its capability of use-
fulness I bet it is Mill • decisive majority in the
House of Commons, and it is still animated by in-
stincts and prucipies irrtooneileably at variance
with the c turas which Government appears unad-
visedly bent on adopting. We do not wish to see
a sudden or premature collision take place
within the walls of Parliament. We think
there are some one or two matters of a
special and exceptional nature which ought to
be dealt with promptly, and if possible with calm-
ness and in a spirit of unanimity. The financial

tonal change. Never were men treated more con-
siderately or generously than they have been.
After yeses of weary waiting and procras-
tination the people cemented to give them
another twelve menthe to consider what they
would do shoat Reform. If they do not know by
this time they will never know ; and if they have
made up their minds, and are prepared with a mea-
sure, the sooner they lay it on the table the better.
Bat to expect to be entrusted with the disposal of
large additional votes in expenditure before they
have redeemed their word to the country is not to
be endured; and the House of Commons would
abandon its duty if it were to sit down at such a
juncture as the present and occupy itself with the
Addle-fiddle of legislation to the exclusion and
soglost of the great and urgent business of the hour.
