LEGISLATING IN TIIE DARK--Some shorys,,;ae
Member (Mr. Hume, we think) complained of the velerieg
lighting of the House. We should say that, cons, there
hesr very obscure most of the public measures were,.,bieX
was a sad deficiency of light in the House of Commons, "fit of
prevented Members seeing things as clearly as peePie,%-d of
doors. The light seems to come all from one side-A 1"0
party light-which may account for such one-sided viitio
being always taken of the laws of the country by tiler,. to
have been legislating in the dark. There appears to uthit
Tory light, the Whig light, and the Radical light, and over
farthing rushlight, the Protectionist light. Now, the 5, ‘a•
these lights are merge,i. into one, and a good central
troduced, by which Members shall be able to see the ash„
on all sides of the House, the better it will be for those
have an antipathy to taxes. We do not know of a bet"ef
one than the light of truth. It is cheap-requires no snelllll.
-trims itself-never goes out, and gives the light of we don

know how many million candles? Will any tallow-chandler
