or rather, we should say, with sheer abuse, arti-
culated in a succession of violent expletives, that
the strength of the argument degenerates into
positive weakness. Besides all which, iu regard to
the mere style of the composition—the sentences
are so plenteously freckled with inverted commas,
the phraseology employed is so industrously un-
derlined into italics—that, beyond all manner of
doubt, its writer ought henceforth to be nutn-
bered amongst those who were, once upon a time,
happily designated the Forcible reobles by the
Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for
Buckinghamshire.
A hurried glance down this remarkable commu-
nication will illustrate plainly and readily enough
what we have said in regard to its extravagance
in the way of vituperation. According to Mr.
MOORE, the 'Home of Commons is---"obsequious,"
"servile," and "profligate." According to him
many of the questions he Was required to answer
in 1853 before the Committee were---" invidious,"
" disgraceful," and devoid of "deannoy." According
to him the honourable gentleman thprepresentative
of Perthshire made an attack characterised by the
following string of epithets—" unfair," "disin-
genuous," " unwarrantable," " ignoble," and
" underhand." According to Mr. MOOR; the
Prime Minister of England is charged with "in-
sincerity, vulgarity, and insolence," with speaking
what is "false," with uttering what - is a " gross
slander," with having neither " the spirit of a
man," nor "the feelings of a gentleman." Now
really this doe's appear to us—just by the merest
trifle, of course,—overdone. It seems something
more even than a 'waste of power. It has a sort
of a resemblance in its way to that vaulting
ambition which overleaps itself, and which we
take to be the Most poetic of all extant definitions
of a summersault. It appears to us, in fact, for
all the world Precisely what the Rev. CHARLES
Kr/fouler somewhere horridly calls (in the lan-
guage of the most pedantic of pedagogues) no-
miety or over-muchness !
The worst of it all being that, apart from his
adjectives, apart from his expletives, apart from
his personalities and vituperations—Mr. MORRIS
MOORE is decidedly in the right, having the full
swing, the entire monopoly, the unlimited com-
mand of the best side of the argument ! Instead of
simply availing himself of which, he damages
a good cause by writing as we have indicated, as
our readers may have already seen for themselves.
In point of fact there is a description, in the cur-
rent number of the Edinburgh Review, of Mr.
RusKues first appearance as a fine arts' critic (in
the character of au Oxford Graduate idolising
TURNER) that in one or two particulars, to our
thinking, fits this recent apparition of Mr. MOORE
to' a nicety. The Edinbtu-gk Reviewer hav-
ing observed incidentally that Mr. Rusxiar
" branded as idiots, ruffians, and liars, the
VANDERVELDES, SALV.ATORS, and CLAUDES," thas
continues—" And the preacher snatching up
Truth and Nature as his, watchword, but forget
ting that these also imply Love, Charity, and
Reverence, rushed into the Arena—Malay fashion
—thrusting here, smiting there, foaming at the
mouth, to establish Lis professional sanctity."
Edin. Review, April, 1856, p. 538. Mr. MORRIS
MOORE—to a T I Truth, in his hand,

while within his grasp—Truth ! The rights of the
base es to the squabble between himself and Mr.
STIRLING, the =Member for Perthshire, are best
known of course to themselves individually. But it
dose appear to ,ns, nevertheless, as hardly fair on

A House whose most graceful. act was obscurely to
insinuate at the outset of the War that it meant to

be quickened to livelier apprehensions of the
CREATOR'S wisdom and goodness, but would shut
them up in a penfold on that day if it were safe,
and it would insure at the hands of the "Maw-
worm" section of its constituents its re-elec-
tion. A House whose "count-out " last night is
satisfactory proof that before a measure of Parlia-
mentary Reform can be introduced it must be
dissolved into its ignoble elements. A " horrid

One of the most important conditions in the
treaty of peace is that the forts on the Circassian

In short, the status quo on the coasts -of. the
Black Sea is to be maintained.
This is authentic.

it, synonymous with the sub rasa regarded as

Whence--be sure of that !—we cannot but con-
jecture that, from this time forth, the historian
of the " Cloister Life of the Emperor CHARLES

has evidently done heretofore the reserve and

he has admirably celebrated in a masterly contri-

" What a horrid House of Commons this, is l"
was the exclamation of a lady on reading there
was a " count-out" last night—an expression of
opinion in the justice of which Sir JOSHUA. WALMS-
LET will not be indisposed to concur, for his
;notion for the etension of the franchise and the
amendment of the representation in England and
Wales was apparently shelved thereby for the
remainder of the session.
A "horrid House of Commons" indeed--a House
that, like a roue gambler on his last legs, is only
anxious to procrastinate the
,period of its dissolu-
tion, knowing, as its members do, they may go
further and fare wOrse. A House effete, incap-
able of doing any good for the country, and
haunted by the reflection that it has done
none, and mezits nothing at the hands of the con-
stituencies bat rejection. A House that will be
for ever more memorable as the not unworthy
counterpart of that distinguished assembly of
which " Praise GOD BAREBONES" VMS so illustrious
an ornament. A House that more than tolerated
the senilities, if not worse, of an ABERDEEN, and
drivelled like a dotard over the pukish twaddle
and recondite nonsense of a GLiDSTONE.
A House that, in its desire to make things
pleasant, buried manliness and honesty under the
designation of political rivalry in a napkin, and
having suffered the country to drift into war
without remonstrance, and to hive its energies
wasted without complaint, waited with dumb
acquiescence for a Peace patched up in the inte-
rest of its enemies. A House impatient of deli.
beration, dubious of integrity, incapable of patri-
otic resolution, and alike blind and indifferent to
the necessities of th, times. A House whose god
is self, and whose High Priest is a German, whose
divinity was brightened at college with an ever-
lasting half-crown in his breeches' pocket, entrusted
to his keeping as pocket money, and who has
nothing Znglieh in his composition, save the bone,
