Lord J. RUSsELL presides over the legislative
destinies of England without almost the shadowy
phantom of a competition. Nor must it be pre-
sumed from this partial stagnation in the rivalry
of statesmanship that the Cabinet of the Noble
Lurd the Member for the City of London ex-
ists merely upon sufferance. In an infamous sense, it
has recently been said by M. ALPHONSE LAMAR-
TINE, in his magnificent " History of the Girondists,"
that ROBESPIERRE was the consummation of the Revo-
lution—that the Revolution, after embodying itself in
a variety of forms and personages, ended in RoBEs-
PIERRE. Ina noble and humanising sense, it may be said
that the prolonged struggle in political opinion which
has followed the passing of the Reform Bill, the moral
revolution of Great Britain has been consummated
in RUSSELL. And it is most fitting that this eminent
statesman should be the result of such a diversified
and triumphant contest against the abuses of the con-
stitution ; it is most fitting that the man who had the
immortal honour of introducing that renowned mea-
sure in the House of Commons should be the chief-
tain selected by the nation for the government of its
affairs when the full advantages of Parliamentary
reform were beginning to be realised.
Contented, however, with the benefits already en-
sured by the destruction of political party, the consti-
tuencies of the empire show signs of degenerating into
inertness. They seem to be impressed with a notion
that the requisite impulse has been given, and that
their work is consequently in a great measure accom-
plished. Probably it may be so. Probably the time
has actually gone by when there could be any chance
of retrogression. We believe that that time has gone
by. We believe that the triumph of liberality is se-
cured for ever, that the pathway of civilisation has
been trampled smooth in the very struggles of de-
fence and progression ; we believe that the wedge has
been so inserted in the upas of ignorance and
Toryism, that it must with every additional blow rive
the stem from the crown to the root. Still the deve-
lopement of the blessings of social advancement will
be better secured and expedited by the continu-
ance of popular activity: Inertness in the electors
conduces to indifference in the elected. Quietude
out of doors necessitates an abatement of energy
within the House. It has become proverbial, indeed,
that public opinion is the chief motor in the
mechanism of the Government. Without ardour and
consistency, and perseverance and precision in the
prime motor, the movements of that State machinery
naturally relax correspondently. The fire smoulders.,
the water becomes less heated, the piston flags in its
directing force, the rotation of the wheel slacken.
This is inevitable. It is inevitable, we maintain, that
unless there is an increased ardour among the consti-
tuencies, there will be a decreased energy among the r
Parliamentary representatives.
It is incumbent, therefore, upon the electors bf
I
England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, to best r
themselves betimes for the selection of the mo t
competent candidates among those who will solic t
their suffrages at the hustings; otherwise the
charaeter of the new Parliament must be neeeo-
- deteriorated by procrastination and carelesd-
ch ness. Precautions and preparations are cons -
quently requisite in every city, borough, an,
county.

We gladly direct attention to the meeting coni-
vened yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern bly
the Registration Association of this great city, is
lengthened report of which meeting is duly published
in another column. The course of the metropolitan
constituency is thereby mapped out beyond all p -
sibility of misconception, and certainly beyond ap
possibility of failure, providing the Liberal electors
are only true to themselves, and earnestly unanimo9s
in the great principles involved in the approaching
struggle. Considering that the registered majority
of Liberals over Conservatives is something approxi-
mating to two thousand, there can assuredly be little
hesitation as to the result of the election, in the
event of a general combination. Nor is there now
any uncertainty whatever as to particular candidates
deserving of the suffrages of the London constituents
—the candidates enumerated by the Registration
Association are at once distinguished men and eX-
treme Liberals : foremost amongst them the Prime
Minister of England; secondly, Sir GEORGE LAR-
PENT ; thirdly, Mr. JAMES PATTISON ; and, fourthly,
Baron LIONEL ROTHSCHILD. Let it not be forgotten
that thrice previously has the City of London sent
four Liberal representatives simultaneously to Par-
liament ; namely, in 1832, when the successful can-
didates were Alderman MATTHEW WOOD, Alderman
ROBERT WAITHMAN, Mr. GEORGE GROTE, and Sir
JOHN 11. BY ; in 1835, when the same Members were
returned, with the exception of Mr. WILLIAM
CRAWFORD in lieu of Sir JOHN KEY ; and in 1837,
when the successful candidates of the preceding elec-
tion were each of them victorious. To London
an immense number of the provincial constituencies
will look immediately upon the dissolution of
Parliament for an example as to the disposition
which should be evinced. What must not lie
the consequence of the visible unanimity of the
metropolitan electors in the triumphant return
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Of Sir GEORGE LARPENT,
of Mr. JAMES PArriscar, and of Baron LIONEL
ROTHSCHILD ? What must not be the contagion of that
enthusiastic manifestation of liberality ? Upon the
decision of the City of London depends therefore, to iL
considerable extent, the character of the new Par-
liament.

There can be no question as to the deep and serious
importance of the subject to which Lord BROUGHANI
on Monday directed the attention of the Upper
House. The enormous quantity of business an-
nually brought forward, the extensive interference
with the rights of property, and the weight and mag-
nitude of the interests involved in what has been
termed " private legislation " imperatively demand
submitted that t e tr i

of fraud or of corruption. The first question, there-
fore, that naturally arises is, are these points attained
by the present system ? and, secondly, if not, and
that great and glaring abuses are to be found in its
administration, what measure of reform is necessary
in order to obtain tribunals in every respect unobjec-
tionable—suitable for the grave and important
duties entrusted to their charge, and responsible for
the just and efficient discharge of these duties ?

The Noble aan Lear. T,nril gave an interest-
ing account of the ancient machinery brought
into operation, of the " recevours " and
" triours " to whom petitions were referred,
from whence it is manifest, that the same
absurd jealousy as to any interference with the legis-
lative functions, by persons not members of either
branch of the Legislature, that has recently prevailed,
had then no existence. The "recevours" were not ne-
cessarily members of either House, and the " triours"
were assisted by the judges and King's sergeants.
The Members of Parliament generally would no
more have acted in opposition to the judgment of
those learned persons than the lay Members of the
present House of Peers would interfere with the
law Lords in their judgment on a purely judicial
question. The cases, however, in which private legis-
lation was required were comparatively rare, and
when brought before Parliament generally com-
manded an universal assent; in fact, there was seldom,
if ever, controversy, either as to the law or the fact.
They were chiefly cases for the improvement of pri-
vate estates, the settling of doubtful titles, and others
of a similar description ; a greater degree of laxity in
consequence began to prevail. The judges or
sergeants were not called upon to give their assist-
ance in questions of such trivial importance and re-
quiring so little skill or learning to solve
their difficulties as those which generally
were to be adjudicated upon. The present
system, therefore, gradually sprung up, and
is continued, although 600 or 700 private Bills are
now annually brought forward—many of them, in-
deed the great majority, involving the decision of
disputed facts, the determining the relative weight
attachable to the evidence of witnesses of undoubted
integrity and of the highest scientific attainments, and,
finally, a judgment between conflicting claims which
should, if possible, be ever founded on fixed and in-
variable rules and principles, but which is required
from those wholly unacquainted with such rules or
principles, and who are in nowise qualified, either by
education,:practice, or attainments, for the discharge
of the judicial functions.

Private legislation had, in fact, the same relation

o proceedingh in equity that equity had to common
law. Our law courts, the Queen's Bench, Common
Pleas, and Exchequer were originally the only tri-
bunals in the country, and they judged according to
the common law and the statute law of the country.
It was found, however, that they were inadequate for
the exigencies of the nation. They could punish
wrong-doers, but they could not interpose to pre-
vent the commission of wrong ; they could impose
damages for a breach of contract, or a violation
of an agreement, but they could not enforce the
execution of that contract, or compel the specific per-
formance of that agreement. They had no cognisance
of, or jurisdiction over, cases binding on the conscience,
or connected with trusts. Necessity was, therefore,
speedily felt for the existence of another court pos-
sessing an extraordinary jurisdiction, and enabled
from its constitution to afford relief where it was
necessarily withheld in consequence of the strict
rules of the common law ; the courts of equity were
therefore constituted, and given a jurisdiction over
all cases of the latter description. There was still,
however, a further want ; from time to time cases
might and did arise where great hardship was sus-
tained by individuals, and sometimes by the public
generally, and yet no relief could be afforded, either
at law or in equity, Such cases could only be dealt
with by the highest tribunal of all—the Parliament.
Each was to a certain extent to be regulated by its
own peculiar features, but, as we have already said,
they were of comparatively rare occurrence, and
seldom possessed any points of intricacy or difficulty.
Still, it was prodded that the judges and sergeants
should render their assistance. There is no doubt
that if the questions had been of sufficient
magnitude or importance to call for or require the
constant employment and superintendence of learned
and competent judges, that such would have been ap-
pointed for the Parliamentary as well as for the
equity and law courts. Every precaution was
adopted to procure the most able, the most learned,
and the most impartial men to occupy the bench of
justice in the latter courts; men the integrity of
whose lives, the purity of whose characters, and
whose universally recognised attainments qualified
them for the task, and who were rendered inde-
pendent of the Crown, so that no political feeling or
undue leaning should be suffered to disturb
the even tenor of their way. In consequence
these duties are generally discharged in a man-
ner beyond all praise, and which defy the breath
of slander or calumny. Is this the case in Par-
liament ? and if not, why not ? A greater amount
of property, more important and conflicting
interests now come before the Committees than those
which are submitted to the courts of law or equity,
and surely care should be taken to obtain judges of
equal learning, ability, and integrity to adjudicate
thereon. •

A letter from Berne of the 24th, in the Constitu-
tionnel, says---" A grand meeting was held on the
21st at Brunnen, in the canton of Schwyz, on the
banks of the lake of Lucerne, between the delegates
of the seven Separatist cantons. The most violent
resolutions were adopted with a quasi unanimity,
signifying that the League relies in the last extremity
upon foreign intervention. Several Protestants of
note were remarked in the meeting. Hitherto, the
Conservatives of this creed have been, in general,
frugal of their hostile demonstrations on questions
which appear to be within the domain of religion.
This circumstance is enough to restore to the present
crisis its real character—that of an inveterate conflict
between the two great principles which divide the
political world."

A letter from Berlin of the 24th says—" Baron
DE CORNELIUS, author of the designs of the bas-reliefs
which ornament the silver and gold shield which
King FREDERICK WILLIAM lately sent as a baptismal
present to his god-son, the Prince of WALES, has re-
ceived an autograph letter of thanks in the German
language from Queen VICTORIA. Among other
things her MAJESTY says :—' I hope that one day my
son, in whose name I write, because he is not yet
able to write himself, will prove by his intelligence,
and by his love of the fine arts, that he is worthy of
the chef di ceuvre which his royal god-father has pre-
sented to him.'"

The Breslau Gazette states that a great many
persons have lately been arrested in Poland, and the
estates of several landholders confiscated by the
Imperial Government.

Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived.

The Co;rio denies the statement of the Faro, that
ESPARTERO has been restored to his rank and
honours. There was a rumour in Madrid that a
Narvaez-Serrano Cabinet was about to be formed•
GONZALES BRAVO, having been attacked by a Minis-
terial journal for his conduct in Portugal, has re-
signed his post of Member of the Royal Council.
The Estudiente, a Carlist chief, has appeared at the
head of a formidable band in the neighbourhood of
Burgos, and has seized a number of post-horses in the
various towns, and burned the telegraphs.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The consequences of Government interference to
keep down the price of bread, and to feed the people
of Paris, are now becoming manifest. For a Go-
vernment to feed an entire nation is manifestly im-
possible; and if it undertakes to feed any one portion
of the nation, it can only do so at the expense of the
rest, and those who are thus robbed in order that their
more fortunate brethren may be unjustly favoured,
will naturally grumble, and from grumbling be led
to consider what it is that has caused themselves to
be plundered for the benefit of another portion of
their fellow-subjects. The provincials of France
appear to be at present considering this question.
Why should Paris be so especially favoured ?" ask
they. The reply is obvious—" Lest an outbreak
should take place in Paris, and end in a revolution,
It is From fear—and fear alone—that the Govern-
ment provides for the sustenance of the people of
Paris." " Then let us try what
say the provincials ; and accordingly we find
that Mulhouse—the Manchester of France—was
on Saturday the scene of a food riot of the most
alarming description. The Moniteur publishes the
following account of the disturbance :
"A telegraphic dispatch from the Prefect of the Upper
Rhino announces that troubles have broken out at Mul-
houseu ainco yesterday morning. The price of bread
was the pretext for it. The crowd attacked successively
the shops of the bakers and the wine shops, which they
pillaged and ransacked. Misfortunes have to be de.
plored. During the pillage of a balc.r's shop, after
several warnings and reiterated summonses had remained
without result, the Lieutenant-Colonel of the 18th Light
Infantry, who commanded the detachment, seeing him
self assailed on all sides, was obliged to order the troops
to fire. Three or four pArcons mere killed. The Lieut..
Colonel was seriously wounded in the face. A great
number of persons have been arrested."

This it is to be feared is but the " beginning of the
end," and we shall not be surprised to hear of similar
disturbances breaking out in other provincial towns
of France.

Notice was given on Saturday to General Cu-
lamas, and to Messrs. TESTES PARMENTIER, and
PALLEPRA, of the decree of the Court of Peers
ordering them to be put upon their trial. M
PAILLET is engaged to defend M. TESTES and M:

It is sail in the salons of Paris that the French
Government is engagad in a series of intrigues hav-
ing for their object the elevation of the Duc DE MONT-
PENSIER to the throne of Spain. General NARVAE7,
it is said, is only waiting in Paris the completion of
the preliminary arrangements to proceed at once to
Madrid and assume the dictatorship of Spain, under
the protection of the Court of the Tuileries. The
report that the Duc n'AtimALE is to be appointed
Viceroy of Algiers has been revived.
