_ the course of t e North German
Parliament of the 28th Bismarck made
the following remarks establishment of an
upper house, as proposed several members :
usp
oit
ult.btinyn:choeofunt
" With regard to the motion for establishing an
Upper House of itself it can but be welcome in prin-
ciple to every Conservative. It is a drag attached to
the vehicle of State to prevent a too rapid descent
in slippery places ; it is a wore extensive participa-
tion in State affairs of those who have something to
lose, and of those who are not inclined to play too
high at the cost and danger of the State, because
their own stake is too large. It is the transfer to
our country of one of the principal advantages of
English institutions—an advantage I find in the fact
that there are in England a large number of almost
royal existences, by which I mean, of totally disinte-
rested persons who have nothing material in the
world to wish for that could lead them into judging
of the welfare of the State otherwise than according
to their own calm and settled convictions. I should
rather characterise them as contented persons who
have no desire to seek the satisfaction of social and
financial efforts in the department of politics.
consider that an extraordinary advantage for Eng-
land. People do not experiment in that country so
easily, while those who feel inclined to do so have a
very high stake of fortune and prosperity to lose.
Nevertheless we have not thought it advisable to
make the already complicated machinery of the
constitution we have laid before you still more cum-
brous by the interpolation of a third, or, if you like,
of a fourth element. 1 cannot easily picture to my-
self a German Upper House that could be interposed
between the Federal Council—Which, I repeat, is
altogether indispensable as the o"gan thron..lllo#4l
the sovereignty of the incliilifttal States continues to
find expression--that could be 'interposed between
this Federal Council and this Parliament, a middle
element to some extent superior to Parliament in
importance upon the social scale, and sufficiently
subordinate to the Federal Council and those whence
it derives its powers. We would not have sovereign
peers as members of the Assembly, who, on their
part are inclined to rival the lesser sovereigns in
social position. The Federal Council to a certain
extent represents an upper house, in which his Ma-
jesty of Prussia is primus inter pares, and in which
thatremnantof the high German nobility finds place
that has preserved its sovereignty. Now, I consi-
der it practically too difficult of execution to attempt
to complete this upper house by adding to it non-
sovereign members. And I consider it impossible
to depress this sovereign upper house in its ingre-
dients outside the presiding power so far that it
would resemble a House of Lords ; nor would I ever
venture even to suggest such a step in presence of a
gentleman like the King of Saxony. The principal
reason, however, why we have not proposed any
division of the Parliament into two houses remains
in our unwillingness too greatly to complicate the
machine. The legislation of the Bund can even now
be brought to a standstill by a lasting difference of
opinion
as between
may
occur the
anyF Federal Council
b system ; but
and Parlia-
ment,in a three-chamber system—if lam allowed to call
the Federal Council a chamber—the probability of
this standstill would be materially increased. We
should become too cumbrous."

PRICY 4d.
STAMPED sd.

United Stares mail waggons was pulled from his seat
by the mob and beaten ; his horses were stabbed,
and otherwise maltreated. The mail waggons have
by law the right of way on all occasions ; thedriver's
offence was an attempt to cross the line of the pro-
cession. At least 10,000 Irishmen participated in
the parade. The procession was of great length, a
large number of waggons having been pressed into
the service for the day. Consequently, during the
hours of the parade, all communication between the
upper and lower portions of the city was suspended.
Traffic was at a standstill. Any person venturing
to cross the line rendered himself an object of attack.
The Bowery and the parallel streets and avenues
were crowded with long lines of cars, detained by
the mob. As the better class of New Yorkers live
in the up-town streets, you can imagine the result
of the suspension of transit between the two ends of
the city. Many passengers for the ocean and
coastwise steamers sailing at noon yesterday were
left behind ; their baggage, however, having been
put on board the night before, was taken out to sea.
Never before were the Irish so insolent and arro-
gant. 'They seemed to have determined that the
Americans should suspend business on St. Patrick's-
day, nolens volens. Fancy our indignation at being
ordered about by drunken, brutal Irishmen, whose
only title to authority were the green badges they
had Placcd. in their button-holm,- and., the iTiertifi
and clubs they carried. And yet the mayor of the
city ostentatiously presented to the 69th RegimAt
(which led the procession) a stand of colours, com-
plimenting his " Irish fellow citizens" on their
patriotism and other virtues, and expressing his
warm sympathy with all their movements. Major
Hoffman's friends may say that this presentation
and speech took place before the riot. But after
the riot, after the mayor knew that the officers of
the law had been brutally assassinated by the mob,
he favoured a gathering of Irishmen with his pre-
sence, and " rejoiced to be able to speak in praise of
the splendid appearance of the men who on that day
paraded before him," some of whom must have
shown to him bloody hands as they passed and
saluted him. "He defied the world to produce a
better procession or a greater array of honest
faces !"

Agricultural Prospects.

.._ _

Last week opened with a fine dry day, at times
sunny, with the wind from the south-west. Monday
morning was fine, and it continuud dry up to
noon, when rain was experienced, with a wet after-
noon, but a starlight night ; wind S.S.W. to S. ;
thermometer 52 deg., barometer, 29.30. No field
work of any description .could be accomplished on this
day, not even on the lightest soils. Tuesday was a
fine bright and breezy day, after a heavy gale of
wind in the night, which was favourable for drying
the land, although this was still too wet to get on.
Our advices are—from Norfolk—" Since Saturday
last we have had a much higher temperature, with
the wind from the S.W." From Northumberland—
" The weather continued cold, with snow and sleet
up to Saturday, when it became a little milder, and
much rain fell. Since Sunday it has been flue and
spring-like ; the weather has veered from N.E. to
S.E. and S.W. Weather unsettled to-day." From
Lancashire—" The heavy fall of snow on Friday
last was followed on the succeeding day by a com-
plete thaw, and we have since had open weather and
a mild temperature, betokening the commencement
of a long protracted spring. Much agricultural
work has to be done, and the character of the season
during the month of April will be of the highest im-
portance to the agricultural interest, not oily in
these kingdoms, but on the continent of Europe,
where the same severity of weather and protraction
of field work have prevailed as we have experienced
tiFte. As regards the future course of the trade,
however, the more interesting question is involved
in the prospect of wheat supply for the half year
which in list elapse before next harvest becomes avail-
able. The past six months have furnished us with
equal to three-and-a-half millions of wheat and
flour, and it is generally admitted that an importa-
tion of five and a half millions more will be required
to provide for our necessities up to the close of the
cereal year ; it is therefore a matter of some import-
ance to consider whence this large quantity can be
furnished, and, if obtained, whether it can be forced
from abroad except by a considerable advance in the
range of prices. So many important sources of our
usual reliable supply have been in a situation similar
to our own as to exhausted stocks at the last harvest
time, deficient production, and a more or less preju-
diced quality, that it may be doubtful whether even
advanced prices will serve the purpose of effectu-
ally filling up the void." If these views should
prove correct, the farmers need not be afraid
of obtaining remunerating prices for the small stock
of what they are still supposed to hold. The condi-
tion of the samples will not have been improved dur-
ing the last week of March, and it is to be feared
that many soft lots will now be brought forward if
recently thrashed, and such a circumstance for the
moment is against " agricultural prospects ;" but
there will be a change with finer and drier weather.
Wednesday morning was thick and threatening, but
the day was sunny and cloudy at intervals, with
occasionally slight showers. Field work might be
proceeded with on light soils. The accounts from
the east coast of Scotland stated : " Since Saturday
we have had a fine change in the weather, and vege-
tation will now push on." From the west coast the
remarks were •to the same purport, stating : " Since
Saturday last the weather has changed to mild." On
Thursday morning a slight white frost was experi-
enced, with the wind from the W. to W.S.W. ;
thermometer at 41 deg. at 9 a.m., and 53 at mid-
day ; barometer down to 29.35 in. A good deal of
field work would be done. Our advices from Suffolk
ran : " Since our last we have had a decided change
in the weather, which is now mild and favourable
for the growing crops. The land, however, is still
too wet for much progress with spring tillage."
From Warwickshire our advices stated : " The
severe weather noted last week was followed on Fri-
day by a deep snow, which caused serious obstruc-
tion to traffic. On Satvrday a rapid thaw set in, with
a heavy fall of rain, causing the greatest flood which
has been known for years, and doing very consider-
able damage to property, as well as to the wheat
plant. Spring sowing is quite at a standstill for the
present, but the weather is now much milder, with
the wind S. and S.W." Friday was a favourable
day for field work on the light ssils, and a good
deal was accomplished. Our advices from the West
Riding:of Yorkshire says : " Since our last week's
report we have had some rain and frosty nights,
but the weather has been much milder than dur-
ing the previous week ; drier, however, is needed
for spring tillage." Saturday morning was fine,
but there were slight showers during the day,
and the evening had a rough appearance, with the
wind from the W.N.W., and some thunder was
experienced. On the whole, during this week, rather
more progress has been made with spring tillage,
particularly on the light lands, but much finer
weather is needed to give a nice finish. In some
counties provender is reported to be getting scarce
and dear ; at the leading ports there are, however,
good supplies, and whether for pigs or cattle there
is plenty. Brank is about as cheap as any other ar-
ticle, and can be bought at 28s. per qr., weight
501 b. per bushel. Grinding barley at 325., sane
weight. Other articles in proportion. Mal,ttinf;

In the sitting of the 29th Count Bismarck con-
cluded a speech against Deputy Lasker's amend-
ment—that true reports of Parliamentary proceed-
ings should not be liable to prosecution, in the fol-
lowing terms :
" One of the preceding speakers, the deputy for
Berlin, has taken this opportunity of complaining
that at times a hardly forced' tone of courtesy is
cast aside. If in this remark he alludes to a warm
discussion in which I engaged some days ago, I
should like to submit one point to his consideration.
When one has fought hard for five years and has
attained that which we are now debating ; when
one has sacrificed in so doing one's time, the best
years of one's life, and one's health ; when one re-

members the trouble it has cost to get 22 Govern-
ments to agree to one small paragraph, or even upon
a matter of punctuation ; when one has reached this
point, gentlemen who have heard little about these
conflicts, who can know nothing of official pro-

cedure, then step forward in a manner I can only
compare to somebody hurling a stone through my
closed window without knowing where I stand.
He does not know where he may hit me ;

he does not know what matters of busi-

ness may be in progress at that moment
which he impedes and what others he frustrates
altogether by this opposition. He does not know
what foreign questions hover in the balance which

would admit the different treatment upon energetic

support of the Government by the Parliament in

comparison with that they meet when people see
that Parliament does not go unconditionally with
the Government, and that very slight cause would
suffice to bring about a serious and deep breach.
Under such circumstances it is very easy, without
being artificially nervous, to get into a state of mind
I cannot better characterise for the hon. deputy
than by recommending him to read in one of the
early scenes of 'Henry the Fourth' what sort of an
impression Henry Percy felt when the lord there
spoken of came to him, demanded his prisoners, and
then inflicted upon him—wounded and battle-weary
—a lengthy oration as to weapons and internal
wounds. The passage is at the commencement of
the piece, and begins, do remember me that when
the fight was done, there came a certain lord,' &c.

I feel something like Percy felt when I hear these
sort of speeches made about things for which I have
suffered and fought, and necessarily understand

better."

Opening Public-Houses on Sunday.

The following is a copy of a bill respecting the
sale of liquors on Sunday, brought into the House
of Commons by Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr. Bailey, and
Mr. Baines. It is entitled " A bill for further re-
gulating the sale of fermented and distilled liquors
on Sunday in England and Wales.
" Whereas the restrictions on the sale in England
and Wales of fermentedand distilled liquors during
certain hours on the Lord's day and certain other
days imposed by an act of the session of the
eighteenth and nineteenth years of the reign of her
present Majesty, chapter 118, intituled An act to
repeal the act of the 17th and 18th years of the
reign of her present Majesty for further regulating
the sale of beer and other liquors on the Lord's-
day, and to substitute other provisions in lieu
thereof,' have been attended with great benefits,
and these benefits would be increased by an exten-
sion of the said act : Be it enacted by the Queen's
most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and
consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and
commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by authority of the same, as follows :
" 1. The provisions of the recited act imposing
in England and Wales restrictions on the opening
of houses and other places for the sale
of fermented and distilled liquors at certain
hours on Sunday, Christmas-day, Good Friday,

accordingly. Provided, that
where any person who

of his ordinary

vent such person from opening his house for the sale

TO THE ELECTORS OF MIDDLESEX.
GENTLEMEIsr,—
THE death of Mr. Hanbury has deprived you of
the services, of a highly-egteemed Representative in
the House of Commons.
For the vacancy thus sadly and unexpectedly occasioned
I venture to offer myself as a Candidate.
There are many among you, I flatter myself, to whom
my name is not unknown as a zealous supporter of the
Liberal causo, and at this important crisis I hold it essen-
tial that any candidate presuming to ask for the suffrages
of such an important and thoroughly Liberal constituency
as that of Middlesex should be able to give trustworthy
assurances of his devotion to the principles which they
hr

lave at heart.
I (Should you do me the honour to return me to Parlia-
ment it would be my first duty to co-operate with those
who desire to effect the passage of an honest and straight-
forward measure of Reform—such a measure as would
prove to the large body of artisans and working men, whom
I hold to be entitled to the franchise, that the House of
Commons is not afraid of the people, nor averse to the free
extension of political privileges, nor disposed to deny to
the intelligent operatives a share in the government of the
country, to whose burdens they are called upon to contri-
bute. If the Reform Bill proposed by the Tory Ministry
be not capable of adaptation to such an end, I should not
hesitate to give my adherence to any course which may
seem the most calculated to attain the desired object.
Respect to the memory of your late Representative will
not allow me for the next few days to take any further
steps to bring myself before the Electors, but 1 shall take
the earliest possible opportunity of meeting you in public
and giving you a detailed, and 1 trust satisfactory, account
of my views upon all the important political topics of the
day.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
HENRY D. LABOUCHERE.
