LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1852.

Again the unfortunate Militia Bill is to be consi-
dered in Committee, and no less than thirteen amend-
ments are down among the notices of motion for
this evening. There is every probability, therefore,
of a still further protracted discussion. Aware, it would
almost seem, that no betteropportunity is likely to pre-
sent itself to them for the frittering away of public time,
the representatives of the people are apparently resolved
to make the most of the present opportunity. The
House of Commons, indeed, has, during the last few
sessions, fellen so much into the habit of being in-
dustrious in doing nothing, that its Members appear
to be reluctant to allow the session of 1852 to termi-
nate prematurely, before they have consumed a rea-
sonable number of nights in debating, and adjourn-
ing, and dividing, and bitting in Committees, and going
through all the various Parliamentary maueeavres by
which our Legislators are accustomed to carry
out the grand pulley of wholesale and retail
procrastination. If ever it was manifest that little
remained to be accomplished by the Houses of Parlia-
ment during a session but recently commenced, it was
upon the occasion of last February, when were wit-
nessed the resignation of Lord Jonei RUAELL and his
Ministerial colleagues, and the elevation of the Earl of
DERBY to the leadership of her MAJESTY'S Government.
Almost, all the labour of the session devolved, indeed,
upon the House of Commons—its Members being, of
course, required to vote the supplies as
speedily as was at all practicable, and then, having
listened as complacently as might be desired to what-
ever financial statement was submitted to their consi-
deration by the new CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER,
to hurry through the absolutely essential business of
the country, so as to prepare the way with all speed
for the manifestly unavoidable dissolution I Con-
scious that such were the duties demanded from them
immediately after the inauguration of the Conserva-
tive Cabinet, the representatives began, after some
factious squabbling, to grant the estimates with a
rapidity altogether unprecedented. Thousands upon
thousands were voted with the customary muni-
ficence of the nation, for the support of the various
•departments of the public service, almost as sum-
marily, in fact, as the moneys were voted by the
newly appointed legislators of the French Republic;
or rather by the comprehensive (lc cree which
one morning appeared in the columns of the
Afoniteur. Having eielded the supplies, the
`••
•
Commons began with scarcely less good-
will to get through the other business already re-
ferred to as devolving upon their hands, and yet re-
maining to be accomplished: when—as if bethinking
themselves that this rapid system of action might
ultimately resolve itself into a rather inconvenient
precedent—the lower branch of the Legislature
seemed to look about it for some opportunity for a
little pleasant procrastination. Without this the ses-
sion would really be in danger of appearing to be no
session at all. The case was, moreover, urgent—for
Ministers,upen all the broad principles of Government,
were in a minority in the House of Commons, and
it was consevently manifest that there must (with-
out the interposition of some timely impediment) be
a speedy dissolution, followed by an appeal to the
country, and the appeal to the country, in its turn,
followed by the assembling of a new Parliament at
Westminster.

Thereupon the newly introducedlitis Bill of the
Hone SECRETARY, or rather of the HOME SECRETARY
speaking in the mime of her Maassrr's Government,
was seized upon as precisely the measure calculated to
carry on the desired delay until such time as the
Legislature might die wi h something like its cus-
tomary dignity, namely, after a series of most unne-
cessary discussions and still more unnecessary aclj ;urn-
meats. Such has actually been the course pursued
by the Members of that Parliament which is
doomed, before many weeks have elapsed, to
destruction. As we Lave pointed out re-
repeatedly prior to the debates, each succes-
sive evening devoted to the consideration of the
Militia Bill has been distinguished on the Parliament-
ary vote papers by a cluster of threatened amend-,
ments. To-n►gb*, as we have already intimated, is
rendered more remarkable by the increase visible in
the number of thsse same amendments—all of their,
Or, at any rate, most of them, introduced simply
with a view to the still later postponement of the final
determination of the Legislature. There are the
promised suggestions of the Hon. Members for Rich-
mond, for Reading, for West Kent, for Colchester
for Bury S'. Edmunds, for Westminster, for Eve-
sham, for Oldham, for Bsdford, for Iladdingtonshire,
for Lincoln, and two (namely, Clauses 16 and 21)
of the Right Lion. Gentleman the representative Of
Alauchsster. By such efforts have members cf the
Government enabled the Members of the Rouse of
Commons, whether sitting behind the Treasury
benches or among the ranks of the Opposition, to pro-
tract the session until long after the Easter vacation
without any clearly visible prospect of an immediate
dissolution. The long-suffering of the nation may,
nevertheless, be exhausted before any such result is
anticipated. It i 3 earnestly to be hoped, therefore,
that if we.are_still to continue doubtful as to the in-
tended policy of the new Cabinet, we may forthwith
obtain some accurate knowledge of the time likely to
be selected for the dissolution.

Electioneering addresses have now become matters
'of such everyday occurrence, that some, which under
.other circumstancte, would attract extraordinary at-
tention, are now only regarded by the electors, whose
most sweet voices they are intended to inrflinucpieincees.,
tie:l.dt
present we can only look to general principles,
cannot enter into details. These minor topics must
be reserved for the local committees, whose business
it is to exalt their own favourites and to de-
preciate their opponents ; and as the latter
is, generally speaking, the easier and more
congenial duty, it is tolerably certain " that
every document will be minutely dissected, and sub-
jected to the most searching criticism in the district
to which it is more particularly directed. There are
some few cases, however, worthy of more general
attention, where the issuer may be regarded as the
head of a parTicular party or section, giving expres-
sion to, or at least indicating the line of policy which
his followers may be-expected to adopt in the new
Parliament, or where some new test is recommended
or principle enunciated that may serve as a general
criterion for all candidates and constituencies through-
out the entire country.
The address of Sir JAMES GRAHAM to the electors
of the city of Carlisle is worthy of especial notice on
both grounds. The Right Honourable Baronet may
now be considered the recognised leader and the ex-
ponent of the views and feelings of the liberal Peel-
walls
