will henoeforward be celebrated (stigmatized might
be the snore correct phrase) as the period of legis-
lative inaction—the do-nothing year. Every ques-
tion, with the one solitary exception, is treated with
the most contemptuous disregard. Except on Govern-
ment nights, Houses can scarcely be formed or kept to-
gether. Topics of the deepest interest and the utmost
importance to the welfare and prosperity of the country
cannot attract an audience, and it is not too much to
say, that one-half of that portion of the session which
has already elapsed has been uselessly squandered
away through a too rigid observance of the rules,
more particularly those relating to the adjournment
of debates, and the breaking up of the House if forty
Members be not present at any particular time,
when a scrutiny into the Members in attendance is
demanded.
As we have already frequently explained, these
regulations were established ter the purpose of pre-
venting measures of real importance from being car-
ried in a hasty and inconsiderate manner, and without
full time being allowed fur discussion, or by a
small and insignificant minority in the absence of the
great majority. If temperately and judiciously re-
sorted to, the privilege allowed to the minority was of
a very valuable character. But it has been
strangely perverted from its original purpose,
and carried to such an extent that the
remedy has become far worse than the
original disease. It was very proper that a minority
should be protected against an abuse of power by a
tyrannical majority; but the character of the evil
has completely altered. It is the majority that re-
quire protection against the proceedings of a factious
minority, who with a reckless disregard of public
opinion adopt a course wholly unprecedented and un-
warranted. They are thereby enabled to
annoy and delay the proceedings of their op-
nents, although they cannot possibly hope to succeed in
their struggle. They are well aware that they must
eventually be defeated, and that they are inflicting
serious injury upon the inhabitants of the United
Kingdom in general, but more especially upon their
own countryman, by stopping all progress and pre-
venting any new enactments from being carried,
except those mere formal measures which cannot be
dispensed with. But they persist in the line of
policy they had adopted, not perceiving that, to a
certain extent, they are playing the Ministerial game
in preventing the introduction of subjects
that might not be very acceptable to the.
Cabinet, and affording a valid excuse for any Minis-
terial failures timing the Parliamentary campaign of
Iliell.
On Tuesday evening the House again separated
wit hout doing anything, in consequence of 28 Alem-
bee s only being in attendance when the SPEAKER was
about to take the chair. The result would have been
ver y different if even the Hon. Gentlemen who had
not ices on the paper had been in attendance. There
is a n old adage, however, " that what's everybody's
but mess is nobody's business," and as it was a duty
thee devolved equally upon every Member it is
acs rcely surprising that the required numbers were
not forthcoming. Indeed, it frequently requires all
the powers of the Ministerial whipper-in, by persua-
eiori as well as by coercion, to collect the fqrcy I No
private Member can, however, accomplish the task,
unless a party question be on the lapis, and the result
is that many valuable days are lost through
" counting out" the House. Ministers, how-
ever, have hitherto supported these " countings
out" as convenient modes of getting rid
of inconvenient questions, and extinguishing the
rising elcquence of some enthusiastic Member. Ru-
mour hath it that the patronage Secretary of the
treasury occasionally changes his functions, and, in
piece of being a whipper-in, becomes a whipper-out.
This, however, is but a short-sighted policy, for the
persons thus deprived of the power of bringing for-
ward the grievances of which they complain in the
ordinary course, will avail themselves of their
unquestionable privilege of anticipating the Go-
vernment on supply nights. A double por-
tion of time is thus consumed. Hence the
numerous sacrifices perpetrated at the " An-
nual Massacre of the Innocents," and the emas-
culation of other measures through the want of time
to discuss proposed changes which cannot be emai-
-1 dered amendments.
A Special Committee some time since inquired into
these various rules, with a view to their reversion,
and had the benefit of the Right Honourable
Gentleman who so worthily fills the chair of the
House, and who is, perhaps, more competent to
speck respecting the inconveniences arising from
these rules, and the necessity for their mo-
dification, than any other person that could
be produced. Nothing, however, has since been
done, and we are now reaping the fruits of our
apathy and carelessness in the unparalleled waste of
time during the present session.
Whatever differences of opinion may heretofore
have existed respecting the propriety of introducing
some regulation analogous to La Cloture must be
comp letely removed by the conduct of the " Irish
party," who have also furnished sufficient
reasons for removing the power of renew-
ing the motions for adjournment until a
sufficient interval has elapsed to afford
a ret isonable expectation that the opinion of the ma-
jority on the subject had been changed. The non-
e eteadence of forty Members should also be made a
g Toteed for suspending the proceedings until the ne-
cessary number be present, and not for breaking up
the sitting. If these rules were ameliorated, so as to
p revs.nt further waste of time, and the Special Com-
p aittee on the Property and Income-tax, which was
v 0 ted a month since, but has not yet been nominated,
a le ould make a proper report on the important matter
c C ,Entuitted to their charge, we should not consider
t k te session of 1851 altogether wasted, although there
I e ()tad be but trifling additions to the national statute

regard to the probable influence of the National
Society for Promoting the Education of the
Poor. This, moreover, w© may remark, is
an opinion which may be uttered without
anything like disparagement of the labours, or of
the general efficiency of the association. For, ac-
cording to a very generally received belief, and one
the reasonableness of which must be apparent to the
most mediocre capacity, no scheme can by possibility
be adequate as a-means-Of affording education to the
masses which has not immediately emanated from, or
received the patronage of, the Supreme Government.
Individual efforts are ell well enough as methods of
bringing about certain local or provincial improve-
ments ; but it is altogether frivolous to imagine
for an instant that they can prove sufficient as a mode
of diffusing knowledge over the whole surface of the
population. Consequently, whatever may be the
success achieved by the society already particularised,
it must inevitably turn out to be inoperative as a plan
for the dissipation of popular ignorance.
Reformers of all times and of all classes have had
to battle with difficulties as numerous, and at starting
as apparently insurmountable as those which have in-
terrupted the progress of the advocates of
national education. It behoves them, therefore,
to be in no way discouraged by their repeated failures
both outside the walls of the Parliament and in the
bosom of the Imperial Legislature. Free-trade doe.
trines were ultimately triumphant over the doctrines
of Protection, notwithstanding the annual defeats
encountered by the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VIL-
LIERS : and Catholic Emancipation was at length
obtained in spite of the defeats endured again and
again by DANIEL O'CONNELL and his adherents.
It will be well consequently if the Member
for Oldham will bear continually in remembrance the
pertinacity displayed against all kinds of opposition
both by the Liberator and by the Representative of
Wolverhampton. So soon as the measure of the
evil has been tasted to the dregs, so soon, but no
sooner, will the constituted authorities consent to their
removal. Delayed the anticipated moment of change
may be beyond all conceivable conjecture, but arrive
it will in the end as by an infallible necessity, the
most obdurate antagonism yielding at length to
the force of a firm and conscientious per-
severance. An implicit confidence in this is the
secret upon which the ulterior victory of all re
formers is principally ,dependent. Mr. Fox should,
consequently, cherish it perpetually in his heart as a
consolation under every disappointment, and as an as-
surance of his tardy but inevitable success as a pro-
moter of enlightenment.

A circumstance which tended, of course, to lend an
air of importance to the meeting which took place yes-
terday, in Westminster, was the attendance (as chair-

man) of the Archbishop of CANTERZURY. Under the

auspices of the Venerable Primate of the Established

Church of England, the discussion was conducted

with an appearance of sobriety and earnestness in the
highest degree satisfactory. This may be recog-
nised, despite one or two momentary interruptions
by reference to the remarks delivered upon the occa-

sion by the reverend and honourable speakers. The

-
fact here notified cannot but be viewed as more than

ever encouraging, taking place, as the assemblage
did so very speedily after the decided defeat of Mr.
Fox's motion on the subject of education. Occur-

ring, moreover, as it did, in the vicinity of that palace
of the Legislature which had so recently witnessed
this disheartening, though not ignominious defeat, it
could not but be especially gratifying to all sincere
promoters of the cause who happen to be residents
within the boundaries of the city of Westminster.

The Gestrian Journal of Frankfort under date of
Vienna, 28th ult., says—" By the la :accouuts re-
ceived from Gallicia we learn that collisions have
taken place between the peasants and the gendarmes.
The latter had been called in by the authorities to
prevent the execution of Lynch law by the former,
when the gendarmes, attempting to disperse the pea-
sants, were disarmed. A reinforcement, however,
coming up at the time, the ringleaders of the peasants
were arrested.
The little town of Barlenstein (East Prussia) was
the scene of a terrible conflagration on the night of
the 24-25th Alay. In a few hours 21 houses and
48 barns tell a prey to the flames. This is the second
time within a very short period that that town has
been visited with such a calamity.

We have received the Raris journals of yesterday.
In the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday a discus-
sion arose on the subject of the iliftEslDßrifs speech
at Dijon. After the usual business had been dis-
posed of, the President, M. DIIPIN, made the following
announcement :
The President—M. Desmnusseaux de Givri de-
mands permission to put questions to the Minister of
the Interior, relative to the speech of the President of
the Republic at Dijon. What day will the Hon. Minister
fix for them?
M. Leon Faucher, the Minister of the Interior—Let
them come on immediately.
M. Desmousseaux de Givr6—l congratulate my-
self on having proposed the interpellations, for the
promptness with which the Minister accepts them proves
to me that there is no truth in what has been said of
there having been a phrase in the speech insulting to
the Assembly. The speech of General Changarnier,
which has been so well understood by the Assembly,
and which will also be so by the country—wear, hear)
—has furnished the Minister with an opportunity of
declaring that there is neither motive nor pretext for
calumniating the Assembly; but, if in fact the Presi-
dent did deliver the phrase which I have before me, it
would be a grave attack on the dignity of the Assembly.
In presence of the declarations ot the Hon. Minister, I
withdraw my demand tor interpellations. I will now
add a tew words—
The President—You say you withdraw your demand
and yet you continue.
M. Desmousseaux de Givi4.-I shall only speak on
the order of the da), and I. request the Assembly to
ecupy itseli with a proposition which I presented some
time since.—(lnterruption.)
The President—lt is en establie.ed fact that the
members of the Bureau have no official character out
of this Chamber.—(Agitation and exclamations.)
M. Piscatory—l do not intend to examine the ques-
tion as to whether the interpellations are useful or op-
portune, but when once the question is raised it ought
to be settled. It is not sufficient that the Minister de-
clares that there was nothing meant by the phrase
which was said to have been delivered, but he ought to
tell us whether or ifo it was delivered. I therefore ask
the Minister of the Interior positively whether or 1/0 it
was the case? (The Minister made no reply.) For
want of an answer I shall address myself to several ot
my Hon. Collesgues—
The President—You have no right to do so.
M. Piecatory—The Hon. President tells me I have no
right, but I will remark that the question regards the
dignity of the Assembly, and I declare that it I had
heard anything oMnsive used either against the Go-
vernment or the Assembly, I would frankly declare it.
Tho Minister of the Interior, with great emphasis—
The Government recognizes no other text of the speech
delivered by the President of the Republic than that in-
serted in the Moniker.
M. Desmousseaux de Givi4—lt is then, understood
that the phrase which I have now before me, and which
says, " The Assembly has given me its co-operation in
every measure of repression, but has failed me in all the
measures which I have conceived for the interest of the
people"—it is agreed,_ I say, that no one delivered this
phrase.—(Laughter and agitation.)
M. Piscatory—l am glad that I resumed the interpel-
lations, for, after the reply of the Government, the
phrase must be considered as null, or that, if it was de-
livered, it is withdrawn, or that the idea of it is retracted
by the Government.—(Hear, hear.) We do not in this
matter obey any party feeling. We do not wish either
directly or indirectly to attack the Government for a
party object. When the Ministers who were at Dijon
affirm that the phrase which excited the susceptibility
of so many Representatives does not exist we are boned
to believe them. There is now only one way of ter-
minating this discussion with dignity, and that is to pass
at once to the order of the day. That is the only
course, firm, politic, and honourable, that we can follow.
The order of the day was then put to the vote and
adopted.
A Voice on the Left—lt is a shameful termination.
(Noise.)

sued, and stones were thrown at the gendarmes, who
at last fired at the people, but without serious conse-
quences. The arrival of some Austrian troops soon
restored order. The church hes since been shut up.

The Weiner Zeitung of the Ist has the following :
‘‘ HERMANSTADT.—nIe Civil and Military Com-
mander, Field Marshal Lieu t. Prince Karl Sclawarzen berg,
has issued the following notice :
" His Majesty the Emperor having been most graci-
ously pleased to nominate mo as the successor of my
esteemed brother in arms, Field Marshal Lieut. Baran
Von Wohlgemuth, whose noble career has been cut
short by his untimely death, I am now charged with the
conduct of the affairs of civil and military commander of

mand of the 12 army corps.

to briny about the desired deliverance, according to the
cone' igutiou cif the collective monarchy.
" Your confidence, your ready coming forward, will
msterially advance the work, and the recept►on which I
have met with in your boundaries confirms my hopes.
"It is, however, with deep sorrow that I have re-
marked here and there on my tour through this other-
wise highly-favoured country, the still want of respect
for property, continued mistrust, and mutual enmity of
the different nationalities, the cons. queeces • of the revo-
lution and civil wars, which are soil slumbering, and
retarding the healing of the wounds inflicted.
" It will, therefore, be my first duty to procure once
more the inviolaole respect fur the laws, the long-looked
for peace and order for the country, and for every in-
oivieual the security to which he is entitled.
" The Government is most earnestly striving, with a
conscientious regard to every nationality, to promote the
welfare of these Crown lands in the interest of this
united empire. I shou'd, therefore, be compelled to treat
with the most inflexible severity any one who would
pie male to disseminate mistrust against the acts of the
Government, or who would under any pretence whatso-
ever excite dissatisfaction and disturbance-.
" Transylvanians! full of confidence I come amid you;
meet me with the same sincerity and good will.
" Cheerfully and with full assurance of success I enter
on my duties.
