Lord PALMERSTON said it was his intention to
ask his right hon. friend at the head of the War De-
partment to request the Commander-in-Chief to let
them have some news every day. (Hear, hear.)
RECRUITING OF THE CAVALRY.
Colonel BOLDERO asked the First Lord of the
Treasury what arrangements had been made as regarded
the intended encampment at Aldershot, and whether
the force would consist of cavalry, yeomanry, artillery,
line, and militia regiments ?
Mr. F. PEEL said that, since last year, the cavalry
had been increased to double its force, and further
reinforcements, to the extent of 550 men, and double
that number of horses, were now on their way to the
Crimea. One steamer had been employed to take them
out, all the others being sailing vessels.
TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL.
Mr. DISRAELI, referring to the Testamentary Juris-
diction Bill, which stood in the paper for a second reading
that evening, observed that it was a bill of very great im-
portance, and that ho hoped it would not be left any longer
without a definite day being fixed for the second reading.
Lord PALMERSTON said that the Solicitor-General
was quite ready to bring on the measure, and that if the
discussion on the financial bills of the Government was
over by nine or half-past nine o'clock, the hon. and learned
gentleman would proceed with the bill.
EDUCATION IN SCOTLANI).
Mr. C. BRUCE asked whether it was the intention of
the Lord Advocate to bring on the bill for education in
Scotland to-morrow ?
The LORD ADVOCATE said the bill stood on the
paper as the first order of the day for to-morrow, and that
it was his intention to bring it on, if possible, but not
after half-past 10 o'clock.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
he should to-morrow proceed in the first instance with
the committee on those bills which the house might con-
sent to read a second time that night. When they were
disposed of the Lord Advocate could proceed with his bill.
Mr. DISRAELI inquired whether progress with the
bill for education in Scotland was to be made contingent
upon the progress made with other bills?
Lord PALMERSTON observed that every one who had
watched the proceedings of the house must see the extreme
difficulty of fixing any business beforehand. It was abso-
lutely necessary that the bills which might be read a
second time that night should be proceeded with in com-
mittee tomorrow ; but after they were over, provided the
hour were not too late, the house might proceed to consi-
der the Scottish Education Bill.
Mr. DISRAELI said that the noble lord at the head of
the Government had mistaken the nature of the inquiry he
had made. He (Mr. Disraeli) was aware that the finance
bills were of the greatest importance, and he knew that
it was the duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to pass
them as speedily as possible. He did not wish the noble
lord at the head of the Government to fix any hour for
taking the Education Bill for Scotland, but he wished to
say that it would be much to the convenience of the house
if the Government were to fix one day for the finance bills,
and another day for the Education Bill, so that the pro-
gress of the latter measure should not in any way depend
upon the former. He now begged to ask whether the noble
lord would fix any determinative day for the Scottish
Education Bill ?
Lord PALMERSTON—If we cannot go on with the bill
by nine o'clock to-morrow, another day will be then fixed
for proceeding.
THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.
Mr. BRIGHT asked when it was the intention of the
Government to lay upon the table of the house the papers
relating to the recent transactions at Vienna, so that the
whole subject might be brought under the consideration
of the house? He perceived that the Foreiga Minister, in
another place, had given an intimation on the subject, and
he (Mr. Bright) presumed that the House of Commons
would receive, at least, the same amount of information.
This was surely a reasonable proposition in the present cri-
tical state of the country. (Hear, hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said that any correspondence
communicated to the House of Lords was always simul-
taneously laid before the House of Commons, He could
not, for reasons which every ono would understand, name
a day for the production of the papers. The noble lord the

therefore impossible to say upon what day the papers could
be laid before the house. He could, however, assure the
hon. gentleman that no unnecessary delay should take
place in their production. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT said that, unless the papers were produced
upon an early day, he would make a specific motion on the

THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS inquired of the Secretary to the
Treasury whether the Government had any objection to
lay upon the table of the house the statement of the amount
that would be incurred for the expenditure of the present
year, including the cost of collecting the revenue.
Mr. WILSON replied that a statement had been prepared
showing the gross and net charges, and that he would lay
it upon the table of the house.
LOAN BILL.
The house then proceeded to the orders of the day.
The Loan Bill wasread a second time without discussion.
The second reading of the • Stamp Duties Bill (stamps
upon bankers' cheques) was postponed until next Friday
week.

Pouring from his pictured urn
Thoughts that breathe and words that burn :
the graceful precursor of the homelier reprint given
to the world since then by the daring and munifi-
cent enterprise of Mr. Routledge. Together with
these republic ations of popular favourites among
our novel writers—have there not been innumerable
others with which the throng have long since made
agreeable acquaintance, including among them the
wizardries of Harrison Ainsworth, and the comic-
alities of Albert Smith, and the roystering narra
tives of Dr. Lever, and the interminable chain o
stories by G. P. R. James, tales of remote chivalry
and midireval sentimentalism. Nay, the moralist,
too, has come out in like manner into the common
sunshine of the market place in the instance of Mr.
Warren—the annalist in that of Sir Archibald
Alison—the essayist in that of Mr. Macaulay. It
must be manifest, therefore, that Sydney Lady
Morgan is anything rathe than premature in re-
solving thus to test the strength of her continued
hold upon the popular interest, by giving to the
public in a new, and aggregate, and more accessible
form, the entire series of her various contributions
to polite literature. By some unaccountable freak
the work selected to lead off this new series of re-
publications is anything rather than the writer's
masterpiece. She herself almost apologises for the
selection in the prefatory remarks here introduced
by way of explanation—acknowledging that the
style of the book may be deemed rococo by the
" censors of the modern free-and-easy school," but
reminding these worthies—and that, let us say, at
once after the manner of a school rather more
free-and-easy, so to speak, than that of the cri-
tics Lady Morgan seems banteringly inclined
to propitiate—that " such as it is, it was the
style with which the author won her spurs under
the command of Field-Marshal O'Donnel, and
other heroes, native and foreign, who championed
to their utmost the sublime cause of right and their
country's independence." Censors of whatever
school we may be, assuredly it will be permitted us
to observe, in regard to any such extenuative
vapouring in the way of half-grotesque and half-
defiant excuse, that it savours rather of the blue-
booted than of the blue-stockinged. However this
may be, the public of to-day are evidently expected
to throw their caps into the air, as Sir Sydney
Morgan caracolles by with more than one feather
(none of them white) fluttering from the old bat-
tered helmet in which that chivalrous spirit gained
so many victories in an earlier age, when Pegasus had
somewhatless of the aspect of a Rosinante. Speaking
seriously, however, it is greatly to be lamented
that a happier choice than that of this same rococo
biography (we thank her knightly ladyship for
teaching us precisely the right phrase as applied
descriptively to her " Life of Rosa") should not
have introduced a younger generation of readers
than that for which our authoress wrote originally,
to the perusal of her numerous, varied, and some
of them singularly brilliant literary productions.
In penning the history of the life and times of Sal-
vator, Lady Morgar, has subordinated the artist to
the malcontent. She has regarded the age and the
genius of the great Painter through the distorting
lens of her own littls insular prejudices. She has
exulted less over the intellectual powers of the
man whose marvellous imagination rendered him
more than any one either before or since—the weird
romancist of the landscape ! Lady Morgan, we
say, in these memorial chapters, has exulted less
over these high intellectual capacities of Salvator
Rosa than over the discovery in his temperament
of some of the more eccentric attributes of a sort
of mongrel political Savanarola. Viewing him re-
verentially under this particular aspect she pro-
claims him to be the poet of Liberty, on the strength
of some mellifluous samples of mediocre versifica-
tion, enshrined in the classic pages of the Parnasso
Italiatio—ranking the name of Rosa with others no
less illustrious than those of Dante, and Pe-
trarch, and Tasso, and Filicaja ! So much
for the astute perceptivity of Salvator's Hi-
bernian biographer. Nevertheless it must be con-
fessed that through the haze of these outrage-
ous and utterly distorting exaggerations
there may be tracked out, in joltering intervals, the
advance, as am Artist, of Salvator Rosa from the
dead level of his early obscurity to the lofty height
of his matured reputation. It is pleasant to fol-
low a progress like this, even when delineated
thus perversely and disjointedly. From the even-
ings when the stripling painter was patted on the
head encouragingly by the homely but discerning
Francanzani, with the " Fruscia, fruscia, Salva-
toriello, the va buono !" to the day when Salvator
himself could say proudly to a Roman noble
who strove to drive a bargain with him for
his pictures—" Signor, io non pattegio
onenia °
i of
mio pennello !" It is unfortunate
that with a theme such as that afforded by the
" Life and Times" of this gloriously-gifted painter
Lady Morgan should have so little understood the
secret charm of the writings of Vasari as to have
Idrowned the gentle and genial voice of an artist's
biographer in the ragings and ravings of a petulant,
cap tious,denn-religious,senai-political, cross-grained
pamphleteer. A sweeter, purer, calmer, divine'
more vitalising atmosphere than that which hangs
mephitically over the whole of this elaborated
biography, envelopes the eternal fountains and
perennial verdure of the Forked Hill.

THE INCOME TAX.
The Income Tax Bill was read a second time withou
liscussion.

CUSTOMS DUTIES BILL.
Mr. JOHN MACGREGO R said that he would not op-
pose the second reading of this bill, but that he would op-
pose all its future stages, as he considered that the pro-
posed increase of duties upon the necessaries of life would
create great discontent through the-country.
Mr. BLACKBURN inquired of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer what was the reason that the increased duty
upod tea was to cease in one your after a treaty of peace
had been signed, and that the duties on coffee and' sugar
were to remain the same ? As far as colonial produce was
concerned, he thought it ought to have beim put at least
upon the same footing with tea, which is the growth of a
foreign country.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that I
the reason which had determined the Government to make
a distinction on tea was that the Act of Parliament, by
which the decline in the teL duties had been suspended,
was to be in opera Von for one year after a treaty of peace
was signed. The subject was, however, one for the dis-
cretion of the house, and, if the house wished to admit the
increase in sugar and coffee, which was very small, to the
flame privilege as tea, he would not oppose it.
Mr. HANKEY called attention to a statement whichhad
been made upon a previous evening by the Secretary to
the Treasury, to. the effect that the West India colonies
werein a condition of reviving prosperity. He (Mr. Han-
key) denied that such was the case. The quantity of sugar
produced in the island of Jamaica 20 years ago was 70,000
tons, while by the last return it appeared that the quantity
produced had fallen down to 22,000 tons. It was scarcely
fair, therefore, to say that the West India islands were in
a state of increasing prosperity.
Mr. GREGSON said that it was proposed to levy a
charge of 180 per cent. on Chinese goods, whilst we obliged
the Chinese to take our goods at 6 per cent. This was a
specimen of our system of reciprocity. These tremendous
duties on tea would impede our imports, and the consump-
tion ofithis country would necessarily fall off.
Mr. T. BARING said he regretted theartieles which the
right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer had
chosen for increased customs duties. The articles chosen
were those which entered largely into the consumption of
the humbler classes of the countri, and which were pro-
duced mainly by our own coloniet He readily acknow-
