ANOTHER DUEL.--Trvo Chinamen, having had a dif-
ficulty about a woman, concluded to imitate the example
of their betters, and fight it out. They accordingly
selected their friends, and went out near the Lake-house
to settle it. The weapons used on this extraordinary
occasion were heavy bamboo sticks, about six feet in
length. The combatants proceeded to lay it on each
other most beautifully, and cracked skulls would have
been the result had not one of them run off, " his legs
doing their speedy Utmost."—California Commercial

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1854.

preceding Sessions on the part of the representa-
tives of free and independent constituencies.
Lord Jonar Russmr, attempted to ride off on
a collateral point, to make the question one of
" Confidence" or "No Confidence." He said,
" If we are fit to be Ministers of the Crown we are
fit to have that discretion. If we are not fit to have
that discretion, on the other hand we are no longer
fit to remain Ministers of the Crown !" Now, we
must earnestly and emphatically protest against such
an argument—one, indeed, that might be pushed
to any extent, even to making the lives and pro-
perties of the people dependent on the will and
pleasure of the Minister for the time being. We
are well aware of the efficacy of so very signifi-
cant a hint respecting a change of Ministry—a
hint carrying with it not merely the " delicious
treat of an autumnal session," but the inestimable
blessing of a general election, with all its noise and

turmoil, and its innumerable demands on the

time, the patience, the energies, and the pockets
of those who are to determine the matter, and
many of whom would be guilty of an act of poli-

tical suicide, signing their own death warrants as
public men. We repeat, then, that it is not fair

to make use of such a threat in order to induce

the guardians of the public purse not merely to
abdicate their functions, but to transfer the power
constitutionally reposed in them to any Ministry,
however popular. As we have already stated,
" the most trusted, and the most trust-
worthy, should not demand so great a sacri-
fice, nor should the chosen representatives
of the people, disgrace themselves by establishing
a precedent so fraught with danger to popular
rights and privileges."
The dangerous example has, however, been set—

the " precedent has been established." The three
millions now granted may be quadrupled, or more
than quadrupled, another time. A still greater
responsibility than that so boldly assumed may
be encountered by future Ministries, more un-
limited confidence (if that be possible) may be re-
posed in the discretion of Ministers, until the
liberties of the people be sacrificed to the magni-
tude of a discretion more suited to a Turkish
Vizier than a First Lord of the Treasury of the
United Kingdom !
A similar "discretion" will, we suppose, this
evening be insisted on for capitalists who are prac-

tically to be allowed to raise funds for the uwe of
the AUTOCRAT if the dividends offered be deemed
satisfactory. That " discretion," as we have
already explained, may operate very prejudicially
to the interests of the tax-payers of Great Britain
and to the cause of European Civilisation. And, in
like manner, the unlimited discretion of rulers
must promote the cause of " despotism." What,
in fact, is the principle of " Autocracy" but " un-
Limited discretion " for the ruler to do as he
thinks proper, without being accountable to any
person or persons whatever--to "do as he likes
with his own "—without let or hindrance. And
this is the course in which the House of Com-
mons has made a very decided step by its
vote of last night. We trust that the time will
speedily arrive when the voters, aye, and non-
voters, of the United Kingdom may express their
opinions on the propriety of such a proceeding.
The fear of a dissolution is the true secret why
members have neglected their duty. But their
time is coming—and that soon !

A reviewer, in the Edinburgh has manifestly not
followed the advice of Sir JAMES GRAHA.M ; but
has, with wonderful industry, been carefully
" pottering over blue-books ;" and this, more-
, over, in reference to the very subject in regard to
which this same pottering was originally depre-
cated, namely, in reference to the Diplomatic
History of the Eastern Question now ripened into
a war between the Russian and the Allied Go-
vernments. The first article in this recently-pub-
lished number of our great Whig contemporary
is nothing less than an elaborate piece of special
pleading, to prove that the matter here particu-
larised has been treated from first to last with the
most consummate ability, and the most high-
minded patriotism, by the members of her MA-

Well, the Vote of Credit has been carried—and TESTY'S present Administration. A rather diffi-
of cult thesis to have selected truly—one, the

Pounds sterling are placed at the disposal of the difficulty of which the Edinburgh Reviewer atonce virtually acknowledges by the exquisite dis-
" excellent" ABERDEEN, to deal with as he thinks play of preparatory caution with which he adven-

propose for the purpose of redeeming the obliga-
signated the Braggart of Candour. Never was
tion thus contracted. Lord ABERDEEN is virtually
there a more blusterous affectation of lucidity, a
dictator for six calendar months. He may act, more obtrusively paraded anxiety to be clear and
explicit. The effort destroys itself. Any reader

concurrence of other Powers." He ma would inevitably be roused into suspicion as to the
