condition in which—early marriages bong perhaps Mare

this is by so means the failing whi.it is commonly aesertsd—

On the desiraldeness of incressieg the number of Houses

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The Sunday Times " believes" that the Right
lion. Mr. Fitzroy, M.P., the present claim= of " Wort

aad Moans," will be the Secretmy for Ireland, In the plaoe

of Mr. Horeteen . According to ;nother rennet', the fence

gssitlawita hu be ukod to withdraw his resigUtios.

The Press gives the story of Sir Robert Peel's
retirement in this wise:—"The Irish chief secretaryship,
vacated by Mr. llorsman, has caused ministers considerable
embarrassment. Amongst the English members of parlia-
ment who (it is mid) solicited the office, is that sage Senator
Sr Robert Peel! His father wee ones chief secretary, and
why should not the present member for Tamworth obtain
the past ? But the cabinet did not respand to his ambitious
preteusions, and Sir Robert Peel resigned his lordship of the
Admiralty. Such, and not the contemplated arrival of the
Grand Duke, was the real cause of Lis withdrawal from
office."

The United Serriee Gazette says that at tho Ad-
e:al:shy Sir R. Peas departure, unlike Mr. litines Imes
taking, is a matter of mine regret. " Sir Robert will nut be
mimed se an Atrial, but se a gentleman ; for with •11 his
wealuseeme he is Mewed with a good dispoition, end kriowe
how to treat gentian= connected with him in busbies. with
proper reepert."
The Jew Bill will, it is believed (says the Weekly
DispaeA), be introduced into the Hume of Commas by the
Premier Idniself, and into the House of Lida, probably, by
Earl Onamle, or perhaps *ma Lord Lyndhurst. It will
condi imply in the repeal of the Oath of Abjuration.

"The gossip about the Lord Chancellor's retire-
meat" mys the Lender, " Is very vogue se yet ; better law is
wentsdon the woolsack than Lord Cranworthsuppilea, sa well
as • more authoritative reputation ; but wo do not credit the
rumour that it is contemplated to appoint Chief holies Cock-
burn his successor. Chief Justice Cockburn possibly aspires
to the portfolio of justice, should that department be crested ;
but the great seal would probably be the price of Sir Richard
Bothell or Sir William Page Wool. Sir Richard Bethel'
should be promoted. Mr. l'hinn might practically explain his
meson for giving up his post as permanent secretary to the
Admiralty, by assuming the Attorney or Solicitor-General-
ship. That is to say, unless he has flied his eye upon the
mak of the bench that is to be vacated, it is ssid, by Mr.
mastics:Coleridge. Lord Pancoure's secession from tge
ministry la also problematical, as well as the appointment of
Mr. Sidney Herbert in his plsoo. It Is understood, how-
ever, that Lord Panmuro is weary of his duties, and Mr.
Sidney Herbert, an enthusiastic army reformer, and strong
personal friend of the Premier, certainly has pretensions to
be his sueoresor."

Irt some circles it is stated that the Lord Chan-
cellor will at once retire, and will be racceeded by Sir R.
Bothell, the previa Attorney-General, in which event Mr.
Edwin Jams, Q.C., will be Attorney or Solicitor-Gement'
. . . .

, -
and Mr. Keating or Mr. Collyer fill some legal appointment.
The directorship of the East India Company,
vacated by Major Oliphant, will be filled up by the appoint-
ment of another government nominee, and not by the
proprietors. By cisme 6of the late act for the government
of India, the first three vacancies in the directors—not
nominated by the crown—are to be filled by the crown, so as
to make sin government nominees and twelve elected by the
proprietors.

During the present session of parliament, it is
expected that there will not only be a committee open bank-
ing, but that there will also be a bill to regulate joint-stock
hankie, and another for the purpose of reaching by just
punishment such bands ea have been recently equaled. The
Esetionst, in en article treating of the various suggestions
which b►rs bean nude in the treatment of this subject,
comas to the modulate with regard to auditing, that the
only nal guarantee that the public can have must be looked
for in the character of the directors and managers of banks,
and in the care with which shareholders watch their own
intimate. "AU sew attempts at protection on the pert of
the State will fell, as others have done, to give any security
for the integrity of the management or the success of the
business of such establishments."
On the question rinsed in the House of Lords as to
the right or propriety of any officer's mewing= opinion's
to the conduct of his General, the Moiled &MAI Seattle
says :—" Either officers should or should not be permitted to
speak publicly of their seniors ; but if they as to be restrained
the nabietku should be general. No praise should be yes-
Wiled in books or newspapers or at public dinners or moot-

rious to the military service of this country if the ail tarsi-
fart, nil filsperra•i were to become the rigid rule of action,
To the latitude aims enjoy with impunity we owe the
truth. Good men may perhaps fail to get their deserts, be
their deeds ever so much lauded; but imposters cannot
nourish for any length of time, even though protected by
Secretaries of State for the War Department."
The Saturday Review is of opinion that the whole
•

sore of the opening of the now yorliensent was irresistibly
ocasicel. During the impeachment of Raiding*, Sheridan
hate bring forward a charge which was to be supported by
documentary widest,. When he came to the House of
Louie be had never teed the papers, so he opened an imagi-
nary Cale. The Chancellor celled for the documents,
which, it is seedless to Pay, were not forthcoming.
Ilia bag, It wee said, had been mislaid. The ma•
nape still proceeded in his Invective, end advanced
new chergee—the Chancellor again called for the papers.
Fresh expreema were despatched to seek for the missing bag.
Mr. Fox grew uneasy at the accident which had befallen his
friend's papas, end proposed to Michael Angelo Taylor to
go and look fur the beg. But Michael Angelo, who was in
the acme, whispered to Fon in a tone of indescribable hu-
mour, " Why, the man Us no bag: " "As we listened,"
says the Satrirdny &rim, "to the opening' of the First
I Min otter of the Crown on Thursday night, we could not help
repeating to ourselves ' Why, the man has no bag and we
felt almost ethanied that wo ourselves, in common with all
the rest of the world, thought it only a capital joke."
The Spectator, urging the establishment of a
school for the education of staff-officers in the British army
on the principle of competition, observes .—" During the war
in the Crimea, there was a loud outcry for an educated
staff. But now that the peril is over, the nation is likely to
forget the wisdom and duty of calling forth scientific officers;
just es Napier tells um, that so soon aa the Peninsular
war was finished, England lost ' all memory of its veterans'
services' Will the nation continue to labour under this
serious reproach ? Rather should wo ask, will the go-
vernment, knowing the danger, remain open to the serious
Amiga of shrinking tron carrying measures that would
disetnelly mime the army, held tack by the fear
of evades patronage from her stronghold ? The appeal
mat be mods to the Have of Commons, by whose potent
latimitima ministers slaw are swayed, to insist on the esta-
blishment, eta eta Baled on the principle of competition,
cedar that s mans reelewional character and mere prefes-
missal knowledge may be imparted to thcea who fellow what
