Ogoin Vgnwitia testifying thus to the *the and
policy of thaw principles which that Blushing
Astern= so long (intended for, and for the sake of
which he was hunted to death by the party who
now hold office without power. Of Lord Linn-
wrisfs speech it were superfluous to say that it was
fonible as it was faultless ih substance and in style.
Year after year rolls over that venerable head ; bat
the clearness of the intellect grows not dim, and the
vigour and the power of reasoning, sarcasm, and
exposition, grows not old. With the gentleness eta
master towards a favourite pupil, Lord LYNDHURST
exposed the errors of the CHANCELLOR and
warned the unwary not to be milled by
them. With still more grave and pregnant
force the Name of the House of Lords calmly ad-
monished that Assembly that it had already reached
the verge of its constitutional rights, and that it was
foot its duty to persist indefinitely in resistance to
overwhelming majorities of the House of Commons,
backed by the incontestable preponderance of opinion
est the part of the nation. But the Peers seem to
have been in no mood to listen to good advice ; and
between sinister desertion on one side, and stupid
fanaticism on the other, they have come to a vote
which, ere long, they will probably have deep cause
to regret.

nineteen. The Whig Opposition cannot indeed be
held responsible for the general result, nor can they
be reproached with having, in any instance that we
know of, changed their opinions. But they are
chargeable with the inexcusable withholding on
each a question of one in every nine of their avail-
able strength. We say withholding advisedly,
because it has been matter of surmise and
gossip for some time what part each aide of
the House would play ; and it was with
little concealment discussed in various clubs and
coteries how far it might or might not be politic to
allow the present Government to obtain the credit, if
they chose it, of practically settling the question.
Three members of the present Cabinet being favour.
able to the Bill, and several of the subordinate mem-
bers of the Administration having voted in its favour,
it was supposed, not perhaps without reason, that
Lord Daunt and several of his colleagues would be
well inclined to get rid of a cams of dimension and dif-
ficulty; and that they might, perchance, silently
dL-
snide some of their more manageable supporters from
personal attendance in the Lords while the Bill was
going through committee. Whether such mute hints
were ever actually given, whether if gives they were
in any particular case attended to, or whether, having
berme known, they provoked a counter activity
men the intolerant' of the party, such as seems to
have manifested itself last night, we do not under-
take to say. But we are ashamed to confess that
we entertain no great doubts as to the reason why
the minority present last night were fewer by eleven
than they were Int year. We speak now without
reference to individuals, because it is impossible,
until the division list shall have been published, to
know who were the deserters. Not would a lees
material discrepancy between the total number on
the two occasions lead as to draw any inference con-
nected with party motives. But coupling the noto-
riety of the factious caballing' we have alluded to
with that of the disparity in the figures
we have pointed out, it is impossible for
us to refrain from expressing our belief
that we have here another proof of the evil
counsels and wretched Motion by which the Liberal
Party ander its late leaders has been systematically
guided. Instead of a majority of twenty-eight
against the principle of toleration, which there would
have been had the friends of the let* Government
attended as well this year as they did last, there is
now a majority of thirty-nine against the DAMN ;
and this, be it observed, in a lees numerous House
than personally voted in the month of July last,
It is easy enough to see how the disheartening and
disreputable fact will be used by the enemies of the
muse when the question is raised anew in the Cam-
MOM ; yet raised it will unitedly be.
There was little in the debate of last night savour-
ing of novelty. With the exception of Lad Limn-
Bonn none of the great orators of the House took
part in the discussion. Lord OuLuaroan, owing
to his long connexion with the measure, and his re-
cent introduction into the House, was listened
to with cariosity ; and still greater interest ap-
pears to have been excited by the ciaut of a still
elder, a much abler, and a fez mere remarkable
man. Lord STIATIPORD as R1DCL1772.8 voice was
for the first time heard last night in the Home of
Peers. It was not the voice of eloquence or of wit,
but it was the voice of wisdom formed by experi-
ence, tempered by age, and firm in the ainertion of
the truth of freedom. Adverting modestly bat eig.
nificantly to the land where he so long resided
as the representative of his country, and
ea behalf of whose permeated races he
has fought so many a gallant battle against
bigotry and oppression, Lord STRATIVID bore
testimony, from his own personal observation,
to the moral effect which generous and just legisla-
tion in the Parliament of England imparts to the
diplomatic representations of England's Envoys
abroad, when they rue for mercy towards the via-
tica/ of superstition and despotism, and offer their
mediation and advise to mistakes and misruled.
" My hands would have been materially strength-
" mud on many oseesions," said the veteran diplo-
matin, " could I bus been able to point to the Con-
" dittos aftbe Jews in Enema as sae hie hem die-
" ability en aeon* of their MX" Hie lordship
added, in firm but sasfirred terms, Sir puma
convietion that these was se sound pelltieal or
serial reason why this last remnant of intole-
rance should not be removed. It is consolatory
to find the contemporary, relative, sad friend of

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2i;

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, TviaDAT.

The closing of the, odinar y mission of the two
Chambers took place to-day at the Royal Chateau.
The Minister President, Baron de Manteuffel, de-
livered a speech, in which he gave a ressinE of the
labours of the session. He stated that the vote relative
to the construction of the railway from Koenigsberg
to the Russian frontier had caused the government
to commence the works immediately. The law
which ham passed relative to the increase of a duty
upUn beetroot eager had been framed with doe
consideration to the wants of the treasury and of the
consumers. "Thank/ be to Providence," said the
Minister, " since the dangers of war have been
removed from our handers, the public prosperity
has not ceased to increase, in spite of the temporary
dearness of articles of food and the commercial
crisis, now happily at an end."
M. Mantenffel added that the King's full recovery
wes almost assured, and he concluded with eulo-
gising the Prince of Prussia for his devotedness in
discharging the functions to which unfortunate cir-
cumstances had summoned him.
