THE SUNG OF THE HOUSE.

(From Punch.)
With patience threadbare worn,
With eyelids heavy as load,
A member sat in the Commons' House
When he ought to have been in bad.
Sit ! sit ! sit !
In dory days, small-hours and frowse,
And as his place he couldn't quit,
He sang the song of the house.
" Talk ! talk ! talk'
In the morning from twelve till four !
And talk ! talk ! talk !
At evening for eight hours more 1
It's, oh, to be a slave
At words instead of work,
With Gladstone and Pam for Fox and Pitt,
And Bethell instead of Burke.
"Talk ! talk ! talk !
Till the painted windows swim ;
Talk ! talk ! talk !
Till the lights in the roof wax dim ;
Clause and section and line—
Line and section and clause—
Till on the benches we fall asleep,
And dream of making laws.
" Oh, men, with incomes clear,
Oh, men, with houses and wives,
What fools we are to be stewing here,
When we might lead easy lives.
Stick ! stick ! stick !
In the stench of the bone-boilers's dirt;
To hear Gladstone's taunts at Bethel,
And Bethell's rejoinders pert.
" Talk ! talk! talk!
Our labour lasts night and day;
And what are its wages—nothing a-year,
And election bills to pay;
The right to stand on this matted floor,
The right to address that chair,
And the Times a blank—for I'm not of the rank
To be reported there.
" Sit sit! sit !
From weary chime to chime !
Sit ! sit sit !
And to miss a division 's a crime.
Amend, divida, and report—
Itsport, divide, and amend—
Till each section 's a riddle, the Act a maze
And a muddle from end to end.
" Tak ! talk t talk !
In the blazing midsummer light;
midsummer night ;
Talk ! talk ! talk !
The bone-boilers' odours cling, -
WhileT ro

To mock us with dreams of the heathery hills,
Where the grouse are on the wing !
" Oh ! but to breathe the breath
Of the heather and gorse so sweet,
With my wide-awake en my head,
And my luncheon at my feet !
For only one short hour
To feel as I used to feel,
After a morning's blaze at the birds,
Fur an appetite for my meal !"
With patience threadbare worn,
With eyelids heavy as load,
A Member sat in the Commons' House
When he fain would have beau in bad.
Sit ! sit ! sit !
In dog-days, small-hours and frowse,
And as the debate he couldn't quit,
He tried to make the best of it,
By singing the Song of the House !

BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.
Sir E. PERRY, who had charge of the bill, in reply
to observations from hon. members, said that he pro-
posed to adopt the suggestion of the committee that
two justices should be entrusted with carrying out the
provision of the bill, instead of one as provided by the
bill. He would also adopt the suggestion that the act
of sale should be sworn to in the information before a
summons issued ; as well as an appeal to quarter sessions
from the decision of the justices.

On clause 1,
Mr. AYRTON proposed an amendment to insert
the words " for gain," to make the exhibition of offen-
sive paints, &c ,an ffence against the law.
Mr. ROEBUCK supported the amendment, and in
doing so read a letter he had received from Lord
Brougham, in confirmation of his (Mr. Roebuck's)
statement on a former occasion, that there
might be found in the body of justices men who
would be found to pervert the provision of an
act. The letter referred to the petition of four poor men
presented in 1841, to the Rouse of Lords, by Lord
Lyndhurst, wherein it was stated that they had been
fined Queen Elizabeth's shilling by certain justices for
non-attendance at church. They were brought be-
fore the justices on a charge of poaching, but
that charge failing, the justices interrogated them
relative to their attendance at church, and asked if they
attended the parish church on the previous Sunday.
Receiving an answer in the negative they pursued their
inquiries, and ascertained that the men had not attended
church for the four previous Sundays, on which they
fined them accordingly.

Sir GEORGE GREY assented to the amendment.
After some discussion the amendment was agreed to.
The bill after some amendments passed through corn-
mitteee.

TRADE IN OPIUM.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked the noble and
learned lord on the Woolsack when the opinion of the
officers of the Crown on the question submitted to them
with respect to the legality or illegality of the trade in
opium would be laid before their lordshipv.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the officers of the
Crown wera unanimously of opinion that there was no
illegality in the cultivation and sale of opium, and though
the export of opium to China was not at variance with
the treaty, nevertheless they thought it desirable that
some alteration should be made in the mode of exporting
it. He would take care that the opinion should be laid
on the table before Parliament separated.

THE DIVORCE BILL.

Lord REDESDALE gave notice that upon the com-
ing up of this bill he should move that the Commons'
amendments to the measure be taken into consideration
that day three months. From what he knew of
the alterations be felt convinced that it would be
utterly impossible to thorotighly consider the nature of
the amendment on the last day or two of the session.
Lori CAMPBELL said he felt it would be lament-
able if the labour of nearly the whole session was to be
thrown away by the postponement of the bill. If it was
necessary he hoped the session would be prolonged to
afford time for the consideration of this most important
measure.

Lord WYNFORDihought the reasons for postpone-
ment of such an important question were obvious, as the
bishops were now engaged in the business of their re-
spective dioceses, and it was absolutely necessary that
they should be present when the bill came back to their
lordships' house.
Lord MONTEAGLE hoped the Government would
mot extend this b,ll-to Ireland, where it was not wanted.
If such a measure was forced upon the sister country he
thought much discontent would be engendered.
The subject then dropped.
COMMITTEES.

The following bills passed through committee, viz. :
Dunbar Harbour Loan, Metropolitan Police Stations,
Militia Pay, Revising Barristers (Dublin), Probate and
Letters of Administration (Ireland), Mutiny (East
India), Joint Stack Companies Act (1856) Amendment,
Parochial Schoolmasters (Scotland), and the Pimlico
Improvements.

A letter from Vienna of the Gth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" Baron do Koller, Austrian mem-
ber of the Commission of the Principalities, who
lately arrived at Trieste, will proceed to Milan,
and then return to this capital with Count 13no1.
As the commission is not to assemble until the3oth
March, Baron de Koller will remain hero long
enough to be able to carry back with him to
Bucharest all the necessary instructions for his
conduct."
The Berlin Correspondence says :—" We learn
that negotiations have been going on for some time
t etween Prussia and Austria, on a proposition to
be made by them in common to the German Diet,
relative to the Danish question. The reply of the
Cabinet of Copenhagen to the last notes of the
German powers Lai not yet arrived, but it is woll
known what the purport of it will be."

CLOSE OF THE POLL.

Weguelin
Butler
Andrews
These numbers will probably be I.lightly altered to-day,
at the declaration, but there cannot be a doubt that Mr.
Weguelin is at the head of the poll.
While Mr. Weguelin was addressing the crowd, yes-
terday, after 4 o'clock, a large omnibus, fi Lid with a set
of roughs exhibiting Sir Edward Butler's colours, and
"Harry Broome" and "Jerry Noon," the prize-fighters
from London, mounted on the box, drove up, but could
not pass through the crowd. They then dismounted
from the vehicle, and commenced fighting right and
left, when two policemen came up and manfully collared
one of the "gentlemen of the P. R." and amid the
cheers of the populace carried him off to the station-
house, where he now remains.

AMERICA.

The steam-ship Constitution arrived yesterday at
Cowes, on her way to Antwerp, with the mail from
the United Statei.

She brings a'lvices from New York to the 25th
ult., being one day later than those by the Emeu.
The news by the Persia, from Liverpool, received
on the 24th, checked sales in cotton, which on that
day were confined to a few hundred halts, the mar-
ket closing quiet and rather unsettled. Flour was
inactive, and with moderate sales, closing at easier
rates for common State and Western brands.
There were no transactions of sufficient magnitude
after the receipt of the Persia's news to show its
effect upon the market for breadstuffs.

At Washington, on the 24th Chester,
the refractory correspondent of the Philadelphia
t nquirer, was brought before the har of the house,
and asked by the Speaker why he failed to appear
before the committee of investigation when sub-
pcenaed ? He asked and obtained leave to make
his answer in writing, under oath. The new law
of compulsory testimony was approved, and Mr.
Simonton would appear before the committee on
the following day, to be examined under its penal
provisions.
The steam-ship James Adger arrived at New York
on the 24th, from San Juan, Nicaragua. The advices
from Walker's head-quarters are to the 29th Dec.,
and consist mainly of details of operations previous
to that date. Walker's position, as reported by his
partisans, was good. He had 1,200 men, and plenty
of munitions and supplies of provisions. Three
hundred filibusters occupied Punta Arenas. The
Costa Ricans still held possession of the San Juan

Captain Thos. H. Gifford, of the ship Patrick
Henry, arrived at New York from London, Eng-
land, reports that he fell in with the English brig
Princess Louisa, in lat. 39, long. 72.30. She was
short of both water and provisions, with which
Captain Gifford supplied her. She had experienced
very heavy weather ; had been on the coast close
to the highlands of Nevisink five times, but was
obliged to put to sea again in consequence of not
being able to find a pilot. Daring the gale of Sun-
day, the 18th inst., she lost fore and main yard,
and had her sails all torn to shreds. Eight of her
crew were frostbitten, and bad been greAly reduced
from want of provisions, water, and fuel. The
captain of the Prince Louisa desired Captain Gif-
ford, on his arrival in port, to report his condition
and procure assistance, as it would be impossible
without it to reach port.

THE GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

A t a meeting of the Geographical Society, held last
night, senile interesting e•Hinnunications were made re-
specting that poi tion of Per. is where warlike o?erations
ere now being carried on, and where they will proeably
be
extended should the war couthiue. The I,r iceedings cern-
tueoced wit'l the reading of a paler from Gen, Moettith,
which described the position of Boshite and the surround-
ing country. Bushier, itself is scantilysuppl eit with water,
nor can a goodsupply beobtaiued at a less distance than 2
to I -a. Al )ng the shores, for a distance varying hem 10
to 30 miles, there is a tract of lew arid lied at the foot
of the meuntains, which rise immediately from it Those
mountains present a formidahla appearance but Ger eral
Monteith is of opinion they are flat so impracticable for
en army as they appear to'be, as there, are several passes
through which artillery might be transported without
much difficulty. The height of the highest passes is
computed to be about 5,000 feet. Gen. Alonteith eta'ed
that the mountain, tribes are warlike and friendly to the
English, and, being in a great degree indep,ndent of
Persia, he believes that they weuld join our standard.
At the concluidon of Gee. Monteith's paper,
Sir 11. IlewerNsoN spoke at censiderable length in illustration of the ancue t hist. ry, the physical genera
play, and the productiveness of the country. Refer, ing,
in the c runtoencement, to Reshire, where the British
troops first came in eillision with the Persians, he said
it was one of the most interesting spots to the antiqua-
rian in the whole of Asia. The ruins of a temple bad
been diseovere' there, one of the bricks from which he
exhiliited to the meeting that bail been built in the
time of Sennacherib, and numerous interesting inscrip-
tions in the cuneiform ell:intr.-der bad been found there.
lie stated that in those ancient times the Persian Gulf
and the Red S,a were both known by the same charac•
reri,eie name, derived from the red men who inhabited
their shores. After sketching the history cf the country to
he present time, Sir LI. Rae linson described its general
appearance. All al lug the western shore the land is ex-
ceedingly arid, but en the north of the Gulf thile is a
large extent of the most fertile couetry in the woill, ex-
ten:di g to Schen, near the foot of the e ountains.
This fertile tract Las been formed by alluvial deposition:,
from the mountains, which are brought down by the
Euphrates and by other rivers, and being met by a pre.
valmt north-ea-it wind, there is an advance of land into
the sea at the rate of or.e mile in fatty years. If the war
should continue, this portion of the country would in all
probability be taken possession of by our artnics, as it is
rely accessible, and capable of being occupied with ad-
vantage. It was a mistaken notion to suppose that the
English intended to enter Persia by crossinie the moun-
tain range to the east of Bushire, which Sir 11, RAw.

Majority for Codrington
At the close of the poll General CODNINGTON pre-
sented himself to the electors, and was received with
great cheering, not unmingled with less grateful sounds.
The gallant general briefly returned thanks for the honour
which had been conferred upon him, and retired amid
considerable cheering,
Colonel Sleigh next addressed the meeting, declaring
his intention of petitioning the Hoube of Commons
against the return of General Codriogtoa on the ground
of bribery ; and, having remarked upon Government
influence and intimidation in the borough, said the peti-
tion would be so successlul, that within one fortnight he
should take his seat as the representative of the borough

This announcement was received with ♦ery consider-
able hilarity, and the proceedings terminated.

The polling took place yesterday, acid, after a hard
day's fight, Mr. Kennard, the Tory candidate, has been
returned at the head of the poll, having poled 271 to
Mr. Seely's 251, leaving about 100 voters unpolled,
principally Liberals, that the Sunday question had
driven from Mr. Seely's camp. Had he not expressed in
his address his determination to vote for the opening
of the Crystal Palace, the National Galltry, and the
British Museum, he would have been returned by a large
majority, many Radicals even having voted against him
on. that account. Many attempts were made by his
friends to prevail on him to give in on this point, but he
would not.
