PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1835.

The question of the Ballot was brought forward last
night in the House of Com Mons by Mr. GROTE, and nega-
tived by a majority of 173 ! This result will be anything
but satisfactory to the people, among whom the question
has made surprising progress during the last few months'
and who had every right to expect that the events which
had flashed conviction on their minds, should have produced
the same effect on those of their Representatives. Had
Ministers acted with proper foresight, they would at least
have affirmed the principle of Mr. GROTE'S motion, even
though they objected to it on the score of its being inexpe.
dient at the present juncture ; but to meet it with a flat
negative, with the recollection of the South Hants, South
Devon, and South Staffordshire elections staring them in
the face—what is all this but to say, We are the same Whigs
to-day, that we were last Session ; experience, that makes
even a Conservative wiser, works no change in us ; we will just
hoist sail, and set off again on the old tack : in other fords,
we will do enough to keep ourselves in office, and trust to the
Chapter of Accidents for escape from further annoyances.
This may not be very palateable language, but at any rate
it is the language of sincerity. We are no sycophants of
Ministers. We walk side by side with them, only so long as
they walk in the right path. When they show a disposi-
tion to stand still, or double, or retrograde, or sneak into
Conservative bye-ways and labyrinths, then we part com-
pany.

Lord Jour; RUSSELL'S speech last night was certainly
not such as we were prepared to expect from him. It
was not a manly answer to Mr. GROTE, but an evasion of a
difficulty—a begging of the question. True, he met it af-
terwards by a direct negative, but not before he had tried
the old Whig " neither this nor that" expedient of " vo-
ting for the previous question." Now, situated as Minis-
ters are at present, they should have adopted one of two
courses. Either they should have affirmed Mr. GraoTE's
principle, or at once have said to the people, " We will not
grant you the Ballot." But instead of this, they adopted
the shuffling manoeuvre of the previous question, and only
assumed a bolder front when driven to it by the sneers of
Lord STANLEY. This is an augury of ill omen for the peo-
ple, and still worse for the Whigs who, unless they redeem
themselves by their Municipal and Church Reforms, will
scarcely dine at the next Lord Mayor's Feast in the quality
of Ministers of the Crown. There is no blunder so de-
structive to Government as a shuffle. This was the
rock on which the late Ministry split. Their Tam-
worth Manifesto was an equivocation from first to last,
and not all their subsequent acts—not even their resolute
opposition to the Appropriation Clause—could convince the
people of their sincerity. Surely the present Ministers
should have been more sagacious, than to play the Tam-
worth-Manifesto game with the Ballot !
We hazard these remarks in no spirit of hostility, but
simply to put Ministers on their mettle. They cannot, in
periods of transition like the present, expect to continue at
the helm, solely on the strength of having granted two or
three popular measures. The Reform Bill has served them
long enough. The Corporation and Irish Church Acts will
carry them triumphantly through the session ; but these
great questions settled, others will arise, and to these
Ministers must give their attention, just as zealously—just
as unremittingly—as if they had still their characters to
establish. The man, whether author, statesman, soldier,
or lawyer, who trusts to his past achievements for popu-
larity, leans upon the most treacherous and unsubstantial
of props.,
Sir R. PEEL expressed himself strongly opposed to the
Ballot, influenced, no doubt, by the recollection of his own
snug pocket-borough of Tamworth, which might be apt to
prove refractory, were such a measure to become the law
of the land. He objected to it, he said, " because, if it
were intended for any thing, it was intended to destroy
the influence of property ;" but this objection Mr. GROTE
had previously disposed of so triumphantly, that we won-
der the Right Hon. Baronet bad the hardihood to revert
to it. _

The best speech of the night—though many able ones
were made—was decidedly Mr. GROTE'S, who left the op-
ponents of the Ballot without a leg to stand on. But, in-
deed so unanswerable were all the arguments adduced in
its favour, that had common sense been permitted fair play,
the majority would have been 173 for, instead of against
the Ballot.

The proceedings in the House of Lords, last night, were
enlivened by one of those not unfrequent exhibitions in
which the Marquis of LONDONDERRY delights to figure.
Has the Noble Marquis no friend to tell him that be is
getting rather too old for the cap and bells ? His friends
are bound to do• this, for their own sakes if not for his ;
for his freaks are infinitely more annoying to them than to
his enemies.

The Duke of WELUNGTON last night complained of the

awkwardness of the situation in which he had been placed 0
by his irregularity, and expressed a hope that he would in
future pay more attention to the usages of Parliament. The
Noble Marquis promised he would. We fear, however, he
is incorrigible. Wisdom, we suspect, is not to be acquired after
a certain age ; for the very moment after he had been re-
buked by the Duke, he comes up with the old story of the
Marquis WELLESLEY'S resignation, declaring that his only
desire in bringing it forward was to " free the character of
the Duke of CUMBERLAND from the slightest imputation."
This very desirable object is no doubt quite in keeping
with the Noble Marquis's chivalrous feelings, and we
heartily wish him success ; but we have our fears. Lord
LONDONDERRY next proceeded to present the celebrated
petition from the Protestants of Downshire, and delivered
a speech which we consider one of the most characteristic
specimens of the Noble Lord's eloquence on record. His
Lordship, as our readers are well aware, belongs to the
rambling school of oratory, the ruling maxim of which is
to introduce all manner of topics, provided they have no rela-
tion to the subject in hand. He may perhaps allege that there
was not only no impropriety, but an obvious consistency in
supporting a petition out of date, by arguments out of place,
and in this we agree with him. It might indeed have
puzzled a wiser head than his to find any thing of an ap-
propriate nature to say, in presenting on the 3d of
June a petition agreed to on the 21st of October.
There is, however, one topic that never can come
amiss to the Noble Marquis and his compeers. Mr.
O'CONNELL is a standing text—an inexhaustible fund
from which to draw supplies when other sources have
failed. To this permanent source of Orange eloquence
the Noble Lord resorted on this occasion, but whether
he did not draw rather too copiously, a little time will dis-
cover.

We cannot help being amused at the indignation dis-
played by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, at the term
sect being applied to the Irish Church. What is the
Irish or the English Church but a sect ? Accord-
ing to the Right Reverend Prelate's own definition,
it is a sect, and nothing else. " The term," he says,
" was with propriety only applied to a sect divided
from that acknowledged to be the Church. The Roman
Catholics were not a sect, they were a Church." Now, we
would ask the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, if the Church
of England itself—to say nothing of that of Ireland—did
not separate itself from the Mother of all the Christian
Churches, just as other Churches, in later times, have
separated from it ?

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Monday. The Court of Peers came to no decision during
its sitting on Sunday. The Court continued sitting till
five o'clock, when it adjourned till the day following at
noon, when their Lordships were again to assemble. The
KING has consulted several Marshals, in order to ascertain
the number of troops necessary, in case of an armed inter-
vention in the affairs of Spain. The general opinion was,
that an army of 25,000 men would suffice, but the KING
declared that he was confident less than 60,000 men would
be of no service to the QUEEN. The Bon Sens states that
the Ambassadors of the Great Northern Powers are
making the strictest inquiries as to what France intends
doing. One of the most able of these diplomatists put the
question directly to the KING, when his MAJESTY is re-
ported to have answered—" There will be no intervention
but at the last extremity ; and then only if England will
have it, and, in case of need, resolve to interfere without
us !" This answer, if correctly reported, is plain enough.
If England stirs, France will, because she must—not other-
wise. The following are extracts from the Journals :
" General Valdez has entered Vittoria with 30 battalions ; the
troops are said to be good, and only to want to be well commanded,
but the staff of the army appears to be destitute of energy. It is
said that the brave General Iriarte, and other distinguished com-
manders, have been removed, and succeeded by individuals the
choice of whom is not approved. It is affirmed that 8,000 men
have marched from Arragon to join Valdez.
" No action has lately taken place.
" Three Carlist officers having been taken, and carried into
Lequeitia, the commander sent a flag of truce to the place, to notify
the suspension of arms, concluded between the Generals and Chiefs
of the contending parties, and. to demand that it should be respected.
The three officers were however shot
" Zumalacarregui being informed of the violation of the treaty,
has demanded that the Governor of Lequeitia shall be given up to
him ; threatening, in case of refusal, to have ten officers of the
Christinos, now in his power, to be put to death by way of reprisal.
The answer of General Valdez is not yet known."—Messager,

The German Papers state, that Sir CHARLES BAGOT has
left Vienna for London. It is thought there that he will
be succeeded by Sir FREDERICK LAMB, and that he will
himself be sent to represent the English Government at St.
Petersburgh.

Advices from Belgrade of the 17th of May state, that
Albania is in a state of disquiet bordering on insurrection.
The absurd encomiums that are daily heaped upon tlse
Emperor FERDINAND, by most of the German Journalists,
expose the miserable state of dependence in which the
Press of Austria is held by the Imperial Government.
Slaves only could write, and tyrants only derive gratifica-
tion, from reading the most of these laudatory and adula-
tory panegyrics. We give the following conclusion of a
long article, on the piety of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, as an
instance. It is from the Aligemeine Zeitung, dated the
28th ult. Speaking of the EMPEROR'S sanctity, the writer
thus continues :—" His piety has long been known, and
was manifested on a late occasion. As the EMPEROR was
lately taking an airing, he met a priest carrying the Host to
a sick person. The EMPEROR immediately ordered the
carriage to stop,• alighted with the EMPRESS, and both
their MAJESTIES kneeling showed their respect for reli-
gion, to the great edification of all those who witnessed this
scene. The EMPRESS has given to the image of the
Virgin, in the Church of Mariahilf, a valuable robe, em-
broidered by her own hands."
Should the Holy See reward the petticoat-stitching piety
of FERDINAND VII. of Spain with a bull of canonization,
we earnestly beg that a similar post mortenz honour be
conferred on her Imperial Majesty, the reigning Empress
of AUSTRIA. The Austrians must, indeed, be a happy
people, when an Empress could find no more destitute
object on which to bestow her charity than a block of
wood. Enviable Nations ! in which Kings and Empresses
fulfil their high destiny, by becoming tailors and mantau-
makers to the carved representations of the Virgin. And
so Austrian piety consists in stripping the living images of
God, to clothe the wooden images of his Saints !

In the LORDS last night allusion was made by Lord Lori-
DONDERRY to some correspondence between the Duke. 0
CUMBERLAND and the Marquess of WELLESLEY on the subject
of the Lord-Lieutenant's public procession into Dublin. 9tl
the presentation of a petition from the county of Down, "due'
it appeared had been kept back by the Marquess of Lorivos'
DERRY for several months, Lord MELBOURNE remarked with
just severity on the extraordinary conduct of the noble Mar"
guess. The Islington Market Bill was read a second time.
In the COMMONS, Mr. GROTE brought forward his motion
for Vote by Ballot, with the discussion of which important
question the House was occupied nearly the whole of the
night. On a division the numbers, including tellers, were
146 in favor of, and 319 against the motion.
