to sink all petty jealousies, personal resentments, political
idiosyncrasies, &c., in a patriotic desire to promote the
common cause. In the mean time, we cannot allow our-
selves to believe that Mr. O'CoNNELL is correct in imputing
the Learned Member for Southwark's strange conduct on
this occasion to " miserable resentment and disappoint-
ment," although there was a general cheer from the Mi-
nisterial side of the House when that sentiment was uttered.
We have been told that Mr. HARVEY was promised the Se-
cretaryship to the Charity Commission, and that the appoint_
ment had actually been made out—nothing but the signa-
ture being wanting—when it was intimated to the then
LORD CHANCELLOR that, were such an arrangement per-
sisted in, all%the Commissioners would resign. Now this,
we submit, is no reason for a man of sense and prin-
ciple, as Mr. HARVEY is, to wreak his vengeance on
the Government, who, it must be clear are quite
innocent of any offence against him. There is, we
apprehend, another person, who is a much greater
enemy to Mr. HARVEY'S promotion than any Member of
the Government, present or past. Who this person is we
-must leave to him to find out. The task is not difficult.

The Bishopric of Durham Bill was again brought under
the notice of the House of Lords last. night, on which oc-
casion that irresistible wag, the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY—whom may HEAVEN long spare, in order to fur-
nish us, in these plodding days, with food for inex-
tinguishable laughter—made another of those facetious
exhibitions, in which GRIMALDI alone can rival him.
GRIMALDI and LONDONDERRY ! We never think of the
one, but the recollection of the other is instantly forced on
our mind. Such is the power of association ! The Noble
Marquis accused the Duke of WELLINGTON of having
deserted and disappointed him ; because, forsooth, he
had approved of the Report of the Ecclesiastical Com-
mission, which recommended certain necessary changes
in the constitution of the diocese of Durham ;
whereupon his Grace boldly declared that he was,
if any, the deserted and disappointed party ; for that
the Noble Marquis, " during the time that he was in
power, had actually concurred with him in the propriety of
appointing the Commission." This is not the first rub
that Holdernesse House .has received at the hands of
Apsley House ; and we think we may safely venture
to predict that it will not be the last. Never, indeed, was
Peer so universally snubbed, as he who rejoices in the sono-
rous title of LONDONDERRY. He seems ..to be the butt of
all parties. Earl GREY quizzes him to-day, the Duke of
WELLINGTON to-morrow ; now he is twitted by a Bishop
and now by a Law Lord ; while all alike agree in opinion
that his head presents that phenomenon which nature is
said to abhor so much—namely, a Vacuum. Why does
the Noble Marquis object to the Ecclesiastical Commission,
that it is pursuing a course of " parsimonious economy"—
emphatic words these, by-the-bye, and peculiarly London-
derryish—when the Archbishop of CANTERBURY is himself
one of its chief supporters ? Is VANE more High Church
than CANTUAR ? Is the latter, who has abridged his in-

come to fifteen thousand per annum, by way of setting an
example of clerical economy, too parsimonious for the
former ? But it is clear the Noble Marquis is joking, and
really considering from whom the jest proceeds, it is
not so much 'amiss. The only other point worth,

alluding to in this discussion, is the declaration of
Lord LYNDHURST, that "he was anxious that the
Durham Court of Pleas should not be abolished, because
the general feeling was, that justice was promptly and ef-
fectually administered in that Court." This is an important
fact ; and yet the man who here bears such strong, unsoli-
cited testimony to the advantages of Local Courts of Jug•
tice, is the very same who, but two years since, opposed
Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill on the subject I Talk after this, of
Lord LYNDHURST'S patriotic abhorrence of faction ! Why,
the man is dyed as deep in it, as ever was Parson RYDER
in the blood of Rathcormac.

The Paris Papers of Thursday, received this morning,
bring the conclusion of M. THIERS' speech on Wednesday
in the Chamber of Deputies, in which he vindicated the
French and English alliance so bitterly denounced by the
Carlist Duke de FITZJAMES. The President of the Coun-
cil's oration was such as to convince the Chamber that he
had read history to some purpose. He disproved altoge-
ther the statement made by the Duke de FITZJAMES of the
existence of natural enmities between nations. He showed
that nations consulted their own interests in all friendly
pacts, and that no relative position. served to prolong their
friendships after opportunities offered for breaking off all
connection with them with advantage. France and Spain
were now friends and allies—yet for one hundred and fifty
years they had been the bitterest foes. Their sentiments
changed with a change in their interests, Prussia had been
the ally of France against Austria—the Prussians and the
French talked of natural friendships—yet Prussia leagued
with Austria against France. Why ? It was her in-
terest to adopt that course, and she adopted it. Austria
had long been considered as the natural ally of England,
Prussia as the natural enemy of Austria ; and yet Prussia
had leagued with Austria against England. Why had
Europe been so long desolated with cruel wars ? Because
France and England had hitherto misunderstood their real
interests—because they had mistaken each other for natu-
ral enemies, when, in point of fact, it was not only their in-
terest, but that of Europe, that they should remain the best
friends. Let but the armies of France and the wealth of
England be thrown into the one scale, and all Europe placed
in the other could not move it. While France and Eng-
land remained together, the peace of Europe could not be
endangered. Nor did any grounds for disturbing that happy
alliance exist. On the Belgian question—the Portuguese
question—the Spanish question—and the Turkish question
—the views of the Cabinets of London and Paris were pre-
cisely the same. The President of the Council then pro-
ceeded to speak of the sympathy shown by England in fa-
vour of the Revolution of July ; and likewise of his own
experience of the kindness which he received at the
hands of the people of England, while sojourning in
this country. Instead of prejudices he had during his
stay, only witnessed the absence of them. He next
spoke of the zeal with which certain deputies sought to
make the Chamber draw a veil over the Revolution of 1830,
as if there was something disgraceful in being connected
with it. For his own part he gloried in it—it was from it
he dated, and would always date, his political origin. It
was by abiding by it that France had rendered herself re-
spectable in the eyes of the most absolute Courts in
Europe. The President of the Council's speech occupied
two hours in the delivery, and was, on the whole, well re-
ceived by the Chamber.
MM. DE SADE, DE LAMARTINE, and MAUGUIN fol-
lowed, each more or less in favour of the French and Eng-
lish Alliance. After, a debate of five hours, the further
consideration of the question was adjourned. -
The following official communication from the Moniteur
of Thursday, includes all that is important respecting Spain
in the Paris Journals of that date :-

" Intelligence has been received from Madrid, dated May
26th. The accounts are still very good. The decree for the
convocation of the Cortes according to the new electoral law
was to be published on the following day. They are to as-
semble on Alio 20th of August. The Carlists had established
on the Bidassoa, very near
.the French shore, a floating bat-
tery, armed with 24 guns, for the purpose of attacking the
bridge and the fort. General Harispe, whose instructions do
not permit him to suffer such demonstrations so dose to the
French frontier, ordered General Nogucs to take possession
of the battery and destroy it. General ?Vogues immediately
executed the command given him. The Carlists, though they
were very numerous, made very little resistance."
The advices received direct from St. Sebastian are to
the 27th ult. No further movement towards Iran had
taken place. The Carlists had not re-appeared in the
neighbourhood of Passages.
PARIS,' JUNE 2.—A letter from Algiers of the 2d of May
says that the troops entrenched in the camp of the Tafna are
abundantly supplied with.provision and ammunition, but they
arc not at all molested by the enemy, and that under cover of
their entrenchments, which are strongly fortified, they have
nothing to apprehend from his attacks.—Moniteur.
The Gazette of Lucerne thinks it has good authority far
saying that a convention concerning the affairs of Switzerland
has been concluded and signed at Paris by the Ambassadors of
the great European Powers on the one part, and by M. Tillers
in the name of France en the other, We learn from Geneva that
it is seriously in contemplation to restore the jury abolished in
1824, through a spirit of opposition to all institutions, introduced
under the dominion of France, It has also been proposed,
with some hopes of success,
to establish a Court of essation
on the same basis as that of France, but with more extensive
C
powers, on account of the impossibility of referring to another
tribunal a sentence annulled for a defect of' form. Delacol-
longe was joined on the 27th of May to the chain, which was
to set out on the following day from Dijon for Brest. As
