THE NEW ROUSE.
814 G. GREY mid is many hen. mesabets bad expressed a
wish that some trial should be made of the new house it had
been suggested that they should have a morakg sitting
on Thu.Mey ant. And, u a desire had been espumed
that ea early day should be taken for the third reading et
the Eieetioas (Ireland) Bill, it probably would not be in-
convenient to take that bi'l then. (A laugh.)
Mr. GOULBURN asked if the house use to sit the
whole of the day on Thursday in the new house ?
Se 0. GREY said no ; he propoeed that the house should
meet there (ia the old house) at du o'clock, and go on
with the basin...

Mr. GLADSTONE said the debate on the conunitsion
relating to univenities was Rued for Thursday. It wee
highly improbable that it would came on on that day, but it
was important that they should understand when it was to
home on.
Lewd J. RUSSELL said it was not a government pro-
position ; and he could only say that whenever it did home
on he should move an adjournment of the debate for three
months.

French revolution. If this be the dreaded philosophy
of the PROUDIIONS and the &metes SUES, it cannot
require the changing of the fundamental law, the gag-
ging of the press, and the restriction of universal
suffrage, to control it. This socialism we have bad
among ourselves for a long time, and still have. Nay,
we have many others of the kind, which, when they
show themselves, are effectually combated by pub-
licity, and argument, and ridicule. The idea of
establishirg the Jesuits, rendering the police omnipo-
tent, and encamping the army under tents in the
squares of Paris, in order to defend society against an
insurrection of bank notes, would never have entered
the head of a sober Englishman.

Is
i reply to questions from several honourable
rs memben the 'lows of C 302010118 yesterday,
Lord Jour IttISSELL formally announced the
appr.acuing retirement of Lord COTTENHAM
from the high p *Won he so long has filled
with honour to himself and satisfaction to the
public. No prospect any longer being reasonably
afforded of his regaining the physical strength which
is necessary for the discharge of the onerous duties
connected with his office, the venerable j edge has placed
the great seal at the disposal of the prime minister.
Ile retains it ad interim only fur :he purpose of concha-
big the heartvg of certain case. in his list, in order that
parties may not be put to the vexatious delay and
expense of a rehearing before his successor. But these
matters once coucludel, Lord COTTENtiAM withdraws
into private life to nernit by case and quiet his some-
what impaired frame, and to enjoy the respect of all
who value as they merit the claims of private in-
tegrity and public worth.
An at empt is made by one of the organs of the
proteciimists to turn this natural and inevitable occur-
rence to account by way of reproach to the First Minister.
A tale of circumstantial commonplace is given, ith
wondrous inuendo thereunto &wended, in order to
prove that L erd COTTENTIAM, albeit the very best
'of chancellors, was unwilling to perform the act of
abdication, and tio.t he required an official hint that
the time for his doing so was come, before he could
bo induced to take that final step. Our scandal-loving
contemporary scruples not, moreover, to intimate in
terms not over nice, that the aforesaid hint was given
in • manner the least considerate and ambiguous.
For our parts we are free to own that not being
either skilled it experienced in the ways of
obtaining each intelligence, we know not what
communications may have passed on a given dey
between the private dwellings of two high person-
ages : nor do we believe that the right-thinking mass
of the community have the slightest cariosity on
the subject. All the public are concerned to
know is, whether an exalted judicial office has loom
vacated a good and sufficient reason. In the pre-
sent instance there can be no doubt that such has
been the case. No honest friend or admirer of Lord
Correanam would suggest that, having ceased to be
abie to do his duty, he rrquirel to be reminded that
he ought to resign ; and it is equally impossible that
any one who has the least conception of the moral
and political responsibilities attaching to the office
of Prime Minister could deubt the propriety of
the act, if requisite to be performed, which Lord
JOHN RUSSELL is aseaiied for performing.
Either the whole story is a tissue of vul-
gar gossip, destitute alike of sense or founds-
ation, or the Minis'ar hu proved himself in the
painful circumstances of a peculiar case, less mindful
of private feelings than of pub' c interests, and as
such entitled to anything rather than censure. But
in any case, it is the emptie st sham of sympathy or
consideration for the retiring functionary to affect con-
cern en his account, when the story implies a lack of
promptitude or self-denial on his part in the perform-
ance of a palpable act of duty.
We turn to more profitable subjects of inquiry.
What is to be done with the Oreot Seal ? and upon
what terms is it in future to be held P

A very prevalent rumour has bctn that no appoint-
ment to the Woolsack would take place at present.
The urger of business in the Court of Cnancery could
probably be cleared off as speedily, if not as satifac-
tardy, were the seal placed in commission. The ex-
pedient is an easy, although we own we think some-
what an objectionable, one. No great mischief that w •
are aware of, has ever oeen alleged as the result of a re-
sort to this course on former occasions. It serves to
fill an interval of suspense, during which the fitness
and claims of the candidates fee the highest secular
dignity in the realm may be maturely weighed ; and
there are many considerations why the choice of a
new Chancellor may be incoavelient in the
middle of a parliamentary session. On the other
hand it is difficult to understand why individual pre-
tensions should not have been practically weighed
and determined ere the actual necessity has arisen ; or
if not, why they might not be brought to a speedy and
definite adjustment. A protracted period of suspense
is, in other words, a prolonged opportunity for in-
trigue. No suitor in Chancery would, in all probabi-
lity choose, had he the choice, to have his suit deter-
mined by the judgment of three commissioners,
instead of a Lord Chancellor: and undoubtedly the
public seam of uncertainty as to the destined occu-
pant of the Woolsack is felt by the public to be in
witty ways an evil.
In the present instance, however, there are peculiar
circumstances that may excuse if they do not neces-
sitate some degree of delay. In answer to a question
from Mr. WILSON PATTEN, the Chairman of the
Select Committee on Public Salaries, Lord JOHN
ltusseu. stated that the practicability of dissevering
the political from the judicial functions of the chan-
cellorship was under the consideration of the govern-
ment. A very strong desire has long been enter-
tained in favour of this alteration, and it is obvious
that if it be resolved upon, a different selection would
possibly bo made from that which upon the old footing
is likely to occur. The amount of salary, retiring al-
lowance, &c., will necessarily be modified thereby; and
without pointing to individuals of eminent station as
illustrations of our meaning, eve ry one will easily
imagine the different degrees of attraction which the
office, as it stands, must possess, from that which
either half of it would present, were it to be parti-
tioned. _ _ .

Until this prior question, therefore, is definitively
settled, all speculation as to the persons on whom the
gilts ut fortune may descend, must be premature. Our
only wishes on the aukject are that the judicial may
he divided from the political responsibilities hereto-
fore conjoined, and that the beat men who can be
found will be eLlected for each function, without re-
gard to interest or faction.
