LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 6.

To-Ninny the last party battle of the Session is
to be fought, lost and won in the House of Commons.
For a week past the whips on both aides have been
driving in their scattered forces. From far and
near railways and steamers are hurrying their
contingents of parliamentary patriotism to the ap-
pointed
scene of encounter. By remonstrant
importunity, dyspep,ic politicians who had pre-
maturely retired in disgust from the camp at
Westminster have been persuaded to promise
sulkily to "ran up to town for the division ;" while
the invincibly indolent and idle who betook them-
selves three weeks ago to German watering•places
or Italian lakes have been worked upon bya curious
variety of inducements to come back to England a
whole week before the grouse are ready for shoot-
ing, and three weeks too soon for the partridges.
To suppose that three out of every four of those
who are to vote on the new resolutions concerning
the paper duties this evening comprehend the real
meaning of the proposition, or care one farthing
about the five farthings protective duty they are
asked to repeal, would be absurd. They know,
and want to know, nothing about it. They were
not elected for any such object, nor have they
affected to have it in view. They were doffed
into the representation at the last dissolution,
some by their fathers, uncles, or grandmothers
—some by the rival managers and seat-jobbers of
Pall-mall—to vote humbly and dutifully for the
hereditary section of Staguationista to which the/
happen individually to belong, and to vote toge-
ther and as one man against everything calculated
materially to strengthen the power or increase the I
happiness of the people. In the main they have kept
their word. They have made on two or three occasions a
show of differing upon party points of honour;
Lut for the rest, the course of the session his been
ono of sluggish but steady reaction ; and now,
when there is once more the rattle and rumble of
preparation for a faction-fray, every one goes
about protesting that after all no change of policy
is intended by the Opposition or apprehended by
Government. The very terms of Mr. Prunes
'intendment indicate the resolve that in every
contingency the Commercial Treaty with France
is to be maintained ; and that were the Derbyites
restored to office to-morrow, they would not
dream of undoing the policy of Free Trade.
Eitially loud are the protestations of the
same party that they do not particularly
wish to come in just now. They profess
to be quite satisfied with having been suf-
fered to draw the charges out of the Whig guns ;
and they say, with too much reason, that, as far as
political progress is concerned, the people conld not
have been more completely sold, had they been
themselves in power. On the other hand, the
obstructives who ut behind Ministers do not dis-
guise their more than half-heartedness in all that
needs to be done to carry out the details of the
Treaty ; and their conviction that if Conservatives,
so-called, have only a little sense and patience, the
day will securely and speedily come for a general
combination of all the leading friends of resistance
to further change, and the formation of such a
government as the Court, the Horse Guards, and
the West-end Clubs may concur in supporting.
To this consummation many indeed believe
that we are drifting fast, and the chief point
of difference between the intriguers who in
rival liveries are conspiring to bring it about
is whether a first step ought or not to-night to be
taken, by putting a wanton affront on Mr. GLAD-
immt, and so, as is hoped, driving him out of the
Cabinet. As for cheap paper, or the question of
foreign rags, or the propriety of keeping faith
with France, men cannot be got to listen with-
out yawning to what they feel to be mere
irrelevancies.

But there is a sentiment of unison among the
sham combatants which will in the end be found
to neutralize all tendencies to disagreement or
disunion. Before all things it is necessary to
prevent the present Parliamentfrom beingdissolved.
Practically it }nu' been put to the proof, and found
ripe to rottenness for the anti-national work it is
wanted to do. Lord PALIILISToN and Sir Cnanias
Wouu cannot wish for a better, and with all their'
confidence in the gullibility of constituencies they
have a certain vague idea that they might go
Luther for a House of Commons, and fare worse.
Yix they feel that there is a limit of decency be-
-30111 •hich even they cannot venture to go;
and having just solemnly pledged themselves
to sustain Mr. li.sourroaz in this last effort
to make • show of carrying out the comae:,
cMI treaty in principle, they could not refuse to
allow the CHANCLLIA.II of the EV/IF:QUER to appeal
to the country, were that principle now deliberately
ignored by the House of Commons. Neither to
suffer him to resign nor to take the opinion of the
nation, after all that has been said and done, would
be plainly impossible. Fair warning has therefore
been given to all whose seats have cost them
dear, that however lightly they might think of the
Government Resolutions, their rejection would in
all probability lead to a dissolution. To counter-
act this impression the Opposition whips, with
filial fidelity to the great first lesson in the art of
temptation, go about whispering in every doubtful
ear—" Ye shall not surely die ;" and if their
wheedling were not very generally effectual, there
would not to-day be the centripetal action towards
town to which we hare already alluded.
Lord PALMEXSTON has called a meeting for this
afternoon of his friends and supporters, in order
that he may have au opportunity of explaining to
them beforehand the consequences, in a ministerial

sense, of a hostile vote on the Paper Duty. • The
reasons of public policy are for the lime, the
reasons of private interest are for the logerhan-
room of the Panetta. There are but two threats
which under such circumstances a Minister can use,
and they present alternatives sunciently startling
to the weak nerves of gentlemen who have sur-
rendered hustings pledges and canvassing vows not
yet a year and a half old. Of two things one—
either a dissolution of Parliament, or a dissolution
of the Administration. It will no doubt be dith-

cult for the great parliamentary humourist to con-
vince his hearers that he is serious in either. To
go to the country with no other cry than that of
the Customs Duty on Paper sounds too unlike
reality to be credible ; and we have still to learn
what else the Cabinet have in hand as electioneer-
ing capital. As for resignation, the men
who have in six short months hauled down
one after another every flag around which
they enlisted the majority that bore them
into power, are not to be suspected of a morbid
propensity to self-immolation. We set no store on
these menaces, but we do set store upon the fact
that this is the last occasion on which the House
of Commons will be able to express an opinion this
year on the worth and wisdom of Free Trade as
a governing principle. Miserable and mercenary
as their conduct has been of late, we do not believe
that a majority of even the present House of
Commons will be brought to stultify in so many
words the application of that principle.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

GAigniuwa voLutrruas IN CALABRIA.
The Morienctito of Genoa published an extraor-
dinary edition on Saturday evening, announcing
that the let and 13th Neapolitan regiments had
mutinied in Calabria to the cry of " Viva Gari-
baldi. ' Stoooo had disembarked with 1,500 volun-
teers, aad had met with as enthusiastic reoeption
from the people. The Neapolitan government was
in a state of consternation, and Garibaldi was
almost hourly expected.
ThePatrie and the Pays of last evening also state
that a despatch has been received in Paris an-
nouncing the unopposed disembarkation of 1,500
Garibaldiau volunteers in Calabria.

According to the same despatch Garibaldi is
expected to arrive very shortly at Naples, he hav-
ing been summoned thither by the Garibaldi com-
mittee of that city to assume the direction of the
government.

PALERMO, Ammer 4.
Decrees bearing the signatures of Signors De-
pretis and Crispi, and promulgating the Sardinian
statutes in Sicily, will be published to-morrow.
The Council of State and the tribunals will be
reorganised.

A programme will be issued expressing devoted-
ness to King Victor Emmanuel, and to the cause
of national unity.

MALTA. AUGLIIT 1.
Garibaldi has about 20,000 good fighting men at
Meaaina and its neighbourhood. He has erected a
fort at the point of Sicily nearest Calabria, and
under its protection has collected near 1,000 boats.
It is said that he crosses this day to Calabria,
and from thence marches on to Naples and Rome.
The citadel at Messina remains (on July 31) in
the hands of the Neapolitans ; but they have
signed a convention, by which neither party are to
fire upon the other. Their lines are quite close
enough to allow of conversation, and the Neapoli-
tans are great gossips, so they commence a chat,
which generally ends by the Neapolitans marching
over and joining Garibaldi. The patriot soldiers
generally adroitly back their persuasions by the
offer of an onion—an irresistible temptation to a
Neapolitan soldier.

It is reported that the King of Naples has
42,000 soldiers at Reggio, opposite Messina, and
these troops, it is confidently reported, intend to
join Garibaldi the moment he lauds. At Naples
and Rome he is waited for with impatience.
