LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1852.

Confusion was, last evening, " the order of the
day" in the Lower House of Parliament. It
seemed that there was submitted to the considera-
tion of the Legislature, not the solution of one
problem, but the settlement of an indefinite num-
ber of difficulties. Resolutions appeared to mul-
tiply ad infinitum, and out of these sprouted
amendment after amendment. The judgment of
the representatives became naturally bewildered
in the task of making a selection, among proposals
of such extraordinary contrariety. Besides the
motion originally submitted to the Commons by
the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton—there was
the amendment of the Right Hon. the CHANCEL-
LOR of the ExcnEenuu--and then there was the
amendment of the Noble Lord the Member
for Tiverton and then there were the
recommendations put forward now by the Hon.
Baronet the representative of the Tower Hamlets,
and now by the Right Hon. Baronet the repre-
sentative of Carlisle. Originating in a great
meattlure in the speeck of Sir JAMES GRAHAM yes-
terday—a speech like the autobiography of M.
de LAMAETINE only to be known as " Confidences"
the disorder which prevented the resumption of
the regular discussion adjourned from Tuesday
evening, became perceptibly more and more in-
volved by every successive suggestion. Several
of the earlier addresses of the night were
eminently conciliatory in their character—but
conciliation soon gave way to imputation,
and imputation to vituperation. The re-
criminative allusions thrown, at last, to and fro,
between the benches of the Opposition and of the
Government, roused the dormait passions of the
most phlegmatic, and warmed the new House of
Commons into its first genuine excitement. As
the preliminary skirmish, there came the incident
of Mr. COBDEI 'S call to order when Sir WILLIAM
CLAY attempted to offer a really charming alter-
native—hut one afterwards amusingly described
by Mr. DISRAELI as a contingency founded on a
hypothesis. Subsequently the House was enter-
tained by the politico-domestic revelations of Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, who, by a passing allusion, un-
intentionally called up Lord LOVAINE in vindica-
tion of the manner in which he had, during the
Course of the late general election, ousted Sir
GEORGE GREY from his seat in Northumberland.
Additional doubts were next thrown among the
errant reflections of the Commons—whether those
_
nunons were ranked with the triumphant Free-
traders .
by a n o,r with the discomfited Protectionists—

monopoly, no matter how obsolete they might be,
how impracticable, impolitic, or unpopular. The
