—" One thing is clear—that a man may speak very well in
the Rouse of Commons and fail very completely in the
House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite.
I intend in the course of my career, if I have time, to give
a specimen of both. In the Lower House, ' Don Juan'
may perhaps be our model ; in the Upper Rouse, ' Para-
dise lAnt.'"—The Young Duke, Book V., chap. 6.

TRZ fitIPZIVIRTON OP

The Daily Xeun does not apprehend that any advantage
will result from the quasi-judicial investigation into the
administration of joint-stock companies, provided for in
the bill brought in by Sir W. Hutt. The re-
port once presented, the matter end, there, as
far as the Board of Trade is concerned. If share-
holders or debenture holders wish to act upon the merits
of the case, they must do as they do now—go to the
Court of Chancery. It is almost certain that if a company
came to such a pass th►t this inspection was likely to be
demanded, the proprietors would take the affair into their
own hands at once without incurring the delay of the pre-
liminary intervention. There is nothing p incd in doing
the same work twin over.

Sir John Thwa itee, the chairman of the Metro-
politan Board of Works, declared a portion of the
Thames embankment open for the use of the public
on Saturday afternoon. It was done with the
scantiest possible ceremony, and possessed the
novelty of being a brief business-like procedure,
destitute of speech making and unaccompanied
with feasting. The part opened is a broad
pleasant gravelled walk, between Westminster and
Lambeth Bridges, skirted on one aide by the
glittering granite embankment wall, that looks so
white and smooth when seen from the Houses of
Parliament side, and on the other by a plain
pine hoarding that marks the site of St.
Thomas's Hospital, whose foundation stone the
Queen is to lay next Wednesday week. We be-
lieve the width of the promenade from the portion
opened on Saturday will not be uniformly 20 fbet
wide, but it will be continued in some shape
beybeyond the embankment to High-street. Another
and
lie convenience will be the widening of Vans-
hall-row roadway up to its junction with the new
Thames Embankment roadway, which is to extend
from Gun-house-alley to Westminster-bridge. By
these improvements there will be a 60 feet approach
between Westminster and Vauxhall bridge', in
continuation of Stamford-street at the east, and of
the several roads meeting at the western extremity
, of Vauxhall-bridge. This roadway will be formed
along the river side for a length of 600 yards, but
will div from it to join Vauxhall-row at one
end, and New-road at the other.

London, and 2291. at Cambridge. Mr. Cleubes metro-
