A singular incongruity is apparent, almost at a
glance, upon scanning the particulars of the impor-
tant discussion which took place on Monday evening
in the House of Commons. A matter of a more
grave or solemnising character could hardly have
been brought under the consideration of the Legisla-
ture. Life and death, war or peace, are the alternatives
trembling in the balance for all neutrals, so long as
France and Prussia are contending in arms. Aware
of the momentous character of the crisis, the leader of
the Opposition rose on Monday evening to call the
attention of the House to the position of this country
with reference to the war on the European Conti-
nent. Throughout the discussion which ensued there
were intermittent manifestations of feeling as oddly
at variance with the occasion as that (shall we call it
hysterical?) exhiliration to which Lord BYRON
refers when speaking of those who are—

" full of fun,
Like mourning coaches when the funeral 's done."

Only, the wholesale funerals, here, unhappily, have
not yet even commenced. Mr. DISRAELI • provoked
the laughter of the House first of all by alluding
ironically to the war having, to all appearances,
originated "in a breach of etiquette at a watering-
place." His mention of the treaty guaranteeing
independence to Belgium as a document " not in-
herited from a dark period, when this country was
governed by PITT, or when its affairs were adminis-
tered by a CASTLEREAGH " elicited laughter in like
manner as did his subsequent assertion that it was
a modern diplomatic engagement created in " an age
of peace, reform, and retrenchment." Gayly face-
tious also was Mr. DISRAELI'S comment on the
'• young member's" (Mr. RYLAND'S) motion "for
abolishing the whole diplomatic service," as
was his reference to certain importaht statements
recently set forth, as vague, adding, serio-comically,
"and statements that are vague are sometimes
necessarily ambiguous." Later in the evening Mr.
BERNAL OSBORNE indulged in broad farce, when
hinting that the SECRETARY for WAR, while speak-
ing on Saturday night at the Mansion House, was
" perhaps under the exhiliarating influence of the
loving cup." In Sir HENRY BULWER'S remarks later
in the evening, there was wit as well
as wisdom. instance this, his caustic men-
tion of the NESTOR of the FOREIGN OFFICE, fol-
lowed by the remark, "I venture to say that any
gentleman who has within the last few years
travelled over Europe,' and who has not had his intel-
ligence obscured by official information (at which
there was of course laughter and cheering) has seen
the traces of, as it were, a train of gunpowder ex-
tending from Paris to Berlin, which it only required
an accidental spark to ignite." In spite of its seem-
ing incongruity, however, there was a significance in
the fitful laughter of the House of Commons, on
Monday evening, during this grave debate. It was
like the crackling of fire under the cauldron.
