LIiVDON, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 18G8.

The House had last night more interesting sub-
jects of consideration. Mr. DISRAELI moved that
an address be presented to her MAJESTY on the
birth of a princess, and declared that additional
satisfaction was imparted by the knowledge that
the Princess of WALES had been restored to health;
and Mr. GLADSTONE seconded the motion with great
cordiality, and described in eloquent terms the gra-
tification experienced by all classes of the commu-
nity in witnessing the happiness of the Royal
family, and the increased security of that dynasty
being preserved under which this country has flou-
rished and its liberties been preserved. Since her
arrival among us the PRINCESS has always been a
favourite, and her long and painful illness rendered
her still more an object of interest to all, and there
can be no doubt that the unanimity of the thus()
only presented the general feeling of the nation at
large. A message was received from the QUEEN,
which declared that Her Majesty bad taken into
consideration the important set vicei rendered by
Sir ROBERT NAPIER in the conduct of the recent
expedition to Abyssinia, and was desirous to confer
some signal mark of her favour. The House
of Commons is therefore recommended to

make provision to secure to Sir ROBERT
NAPIER, and to the next surviving heir
a pension of £2,000 per annum. To-day the
Premier will move that the House take into consi-
deration in committee her MAJESTY'S most gracious
message. It is indeed a source of great satisfac-
tion that the services rendered by Sir R. NAPIER
should have been at once recognised in the proper
form. The public will rejoice that such is the case,
and the Government have shown their good judg-
ment in this instance. So brilliant a campaign and
so satisfactory an expedition merit indeed a more
than ordinary meed of approval, and we are glad
that the present case is not similar to some
in which so much dilatoriness was displayed in the
acknowledgment of their services that the chief
part of the complaint was lost and the effect pro-
duced much lessened.

A Ministerial statement was made by the right
Lon. gentleman at the head of the Government on
the subject of Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill.
The view which the committee (ALA the other night
brought the bill virtually back to the origin d
scheme of the Government, but time presses and it
will be difficult to carry out the plan indicated by
the committee. The Ministry have, however, con-
trived to get out of the difficulty with tolerable suc-
cess, and the policy sketched by Mr. DISRAELI will
answer all the desired ends. The common law
judges are to appoint a judge from each of the su-
perior courts to try election petitions. In case of
pressure of business from a general elec'tion or
otherwise, a fourth jadge may be taken from the
Court of Exchequer. In order to expedite
business a morning sitting will be held
to-day to pass these clauses. Mr. Avrt-
TON did not like so summary a proceeding, but
Mr. GLADSTONE said that, under the peculiar cir-
cumstances of the case, they must consent to the
proposal of the Government and lose no time. It
is a matter of congratulation that the affair should
have been so well disposed of, and we feel no doubt
that the Government will proceed to-day in the
same determined spirit as was evinced by the leader
of the House yesterday. If so the Corrupt Prac-
tices Bill will be speedily got through, an I much to
to the credit of Parliament. It his been of late so
much the fashion to declare off every measure
before the House that it cannot pass any par.ticular
one that survives the struggle is in some respects a
marvel. The House as a body must, we should
think, be glad of an opportunity of putting some
check upon bribery, and to-day they will have the
opportunity presented to them of testifying their
sincerity. Amid so many hints and inuendoes, not
of the most polite kind, and occasionally not dis-
tinguished for truthfulness, here is a case in point
that the Government has done something and per-
sisted in carrying its point in spite of a good deal
of opposition, and some obstacles of; a serious
character to encounter.
The Lords' amendments to the Scotch Reform
Bill were agreed to, with one exception. The Army
Estimates were taken into consideration, and the
Reorganisation scheme was discussed. The Mar-
quis of Hartington very truly said that too much
was made about it. If the Controllers-in-Chief
were made of so much consequence as some wished,
what would be the use of a Secretary of State?
Further on in the evening, however, the noble lord
made an attack on the military expenditure sys-
tem, and provoked some spirited replies from Gen.
NIEL and SirJ. PAKINGTON. The latter declared that
the Major would find it impossible to prove the
charge of expenditure which he had made to his
constituents. Major ANsoN was unsuccessful iu
his attemp to reduce the sum requird for new ma-
chinery, and the whole of the estimates were voted
except that of rating allowances, which was put
off to a future occasion. The House adjourned at
ten o'clock, having got through a great of business
and forwarded several important matters. More
is done in a day nom than in a month at the earlier
part of the session.

The representation of Liverpool in the new Par-
liament is undoubtedly a matter of some importance
to all parties. From its large and constantly in-
creasing population, its position as the second city
in the kingdom, its constant, communication with
other ports, and its wealth and intelligence, Liver-
pool occupiee a very high place among the eo:n-
mercial cities of the world. Lancashire its:ll is
always a great stronghold of political opinion. Its
people aro highly advanced in political intelli-
gence and knowledge, and though there is the same
variety to be found among them as there is
in most large bodies of independent men,
thvo i 3 on the whole little prejudice and
