thus presented to the monotony of his daily laborious '
employments. Infinite associations,too, of the most gene-
rous and refining character,;may connect the poor man
with the well-remembered haunts of his infancy, or his
boyhood, by ties as powerful as any which ever can bind
the rich to any favourite locality of theirs. Of such
scenes the poor man himself, and his fathers before
him, have been the free denizens, at liberty to wander
unchallenged and uninterrupted. Does Lord:LiricoLN
imagine it is nothing to this poor man to deprive him
of so valued a privilege ? Or does he really suppose
it is anything short of mockery, after so successfully
experimenting on the poor man's indigence as to carry
on such a Bill, in spite of all his protests and his de-
precations against its principle, to talk to him about
the value of a detail which will allow of his establish-
ing his rights at a " small cost," forsooth, who has
not been able previously to command money enough
to prevent those rights from being attacked ? Since
the Commons have allowed the Bill, (which, as if
further condemnation were needed for it, is stigma-

tized by the warm support of Sir JAMES GRA-
HAM)—since the Commons have allowed the
Bill to go into Committee, we must hope that the
Lords will not neglect the case of the unrepresented
poor, but signalise themselves by discharging that
duty towards a class which the Commons appear to
be so much disposed to neglect. In the meantime,
we should really like to see in the House of the latter
some of these Noble, Right Honourable, and Honour-
able Legislators, who, on other occasions, somewhat
obtrusively and pharisaically, put forward their pre-
tensions to be considered the especial champions of a
cheap abstract humanity, come forward and declare
themselves on this question of a practical grievance,
by arresting, even at this late hour, the further pro-
gress of the Bill, and kicking it out of that House,
which ought never to have permitted it to proceed to
the stage which it has reached.
Lord LizzcoLN's championship of such a Bill seems
to us in perfect keeping with that fidgetty desire to be
doing, which is common to men so young when
called to offices of high respectability. He would
rather commit an injury on a most interesting,

though humble order of society, than not exercise his
official jurisdiction. Not to originate ex officio Biils,
be their scope and objects never so invidious, appears
to-be more objectionable,:inhis view, than to set in mo-
tion the functions of his office, even though their ac-
tion be to prejudice and extinguish the poor man's
rights of common and waste. How much it is to be
lamented, looking to the quarters which project and
conduct these Inclosure Bills, that the voice of no
manly aristocrat, like that of a WYNDHAM, survives
in the Commons to shame and banish from within its
walls this pitiful petty-larceny sort of -legislation
against the old rights of the poor—incidental rights,
if you please, for, whether they be or be not absolute,
we care not one rush. Their force and character are
as clear under the prescription of centuries
as any title of the PELHAMS, and FIEN
NESES, and CLINTONS, among all the parchments
in their muniment chests. It is melancholy, how-
ever; to see the heir of the house of Newcastle iden-
tifying himself with legislative effbrts as little to be
commended for their constitutional or equitable cha-
racter as the " Public Works," especially within the
same jurisdiction in Trafalgar-square, which associate
a foreigner's notions of British taste and magnificence
in the adornment of a grand site for national display
with all that is paltry in conception, contemptible in
art, scandalous in execution, and ludicrous in effect.
Pigmy fountains, not allowed to play at night, for
fear of the derangements incident to the night air ;
colossal basins, in which the granite dolphins, and
basins and all, seem to be swimming about, like
atomic wreck, "ingurgite vasto," and a pavement, or
Platform, which, in point of material, would disgrace
the inner court of a prison, or the works of a mock

asphaltum company. The Earl of LINCOLN should
be advised to strike into some new line. He will
derive no more credit from his attempts at commons'
inclosure legislation than he is destined to reap from
the preposterous failures that have attended the
mouse. producing inclosure of Trafalgar-square.

The Peninsular mail brings intelligence from Lisbon
to the 30th. Preparations were going on there with
great activity for the ensuing elections, and the Oppo-
sition party professed to be confident of success. From
all accounts, however, the Ministry are too powerful for
them, and seem determined to leave no scheme un-
tried to accomplish their purpose. The elections com-
mence on the 3d of August. The railway projects re-
mained in nearly the same state, though it is said the
plan proposed by General BACON for a line to the
Spanish frontier, had been favourably entertained by the
Government.

Madrid journals of the 29thult. have been received. On
he previous day a report prevailed that a Carlist insurrec-
tion had brcket]L out at Astorga, and the troops of the gar-
rison were in consequence kept under arms during the night.
The report being unfounded, the precautionary measures next
day were discontinued. The names of several officers ex-
pelled from the QUEEN'S regiment, on account of Carlist
opinions, had been published in the bulletins of the army.
On the 28th the Three per Cents. closed at 31% fur cash,
and 3214 for the 10th of August ; the Five per Cents., at
20% for cash, and at 214 at 60 days, and the Coupons at
25 9-16 at 60 days.

The French Chamber of Deputies have passed the
budget of receipts—the last business of the session—and
their labours are therefore brought to a close. They
adjourned for some days, in order to give the Peers time
to pass certain Bills sent to the Upper Chamber, and in
all probability the prorogation will take place towards
the end of the present w, ek. In that Chamber, on the
discussion of the army stimates, Count DE CASTELLANI
complained of the large sums of money *wallowed up by
the colony of Algeria. Far from the country being Con-
quered, the tribes had lately revolted, and cost the lives
of many brave soldiers of France. Even the Committee
had declared itself against the manner in which the
colonisation of Algeria was conducted. Baron DUPIN
declared that though great expenses were incurred, they
were not unproductive, and that ultimately the colony
would become a source of revenue to the mother country.
Even at present national property had been created in Al-
geria which gave a return of not less than three millions a
year, and the other revenues amounted to at least fifteen
millions. The Noble Peer defended the razzias as indipens-
able. The Prince DE MOSCOWA agreed with Baron DUPIN
SS to the military operations, and believed that a complete
pacification would soon be achieved. Marshal SOULT
defended the course pursued in Algeria. Razzias were
an evil inherent in the species of war that was neces-
sarily carried on in that country. The vote was agreed
to by a vast majority.
According to the I'resse, LOUIS PHILIPPE has been
completely successful with the Court of Rome in refer-
ence to the Jesuits in France. That journal says
We had not relied too much on the profound political
sense, and high wisdom of the Court of Rome. The
mission of M. Rossi has been crowned with complete
success. The Superior of the Order of Jesuits has en-
joined all the houses of that Society now existing in
France to dissolve themselves, renounce all noviciates,
and proceed to the sale of their real property."

The Duke DE RIANZARES, Queen CHRISTINA'S hus-
band, has arrived at Paris, and alighted at the Hotel
de Courcelles, where all was prepared for his reception.
The following picture of the state of political parties
in Spain appears in the National:—

" It appears that affairs beyond the Pyrenees have become most
singularly embroiled. All parties are expecting an explosion which
may burst, no one can tell in what manner or where, and which may
end nobody can tell how. The Moderados are tearing each other
to pieces—the Carlists are beginning to agitate again, while the
Progressists remain in quiet observation of what is going on.
Christina, with all the zeal of a repentant sinner, adheres to the
marriage of her daughter with the son of Don Carlos. Narvaez,
on the contrary, opposes to this project an indomitable resistance.
Christina is anxious that her daughter should visit the Basque
provinces. Narvaez, who with good reason dreads some Carlist
matrimonial conjuration, wishes the young Queen to return direct
to Madrid from Saragossa. Christina brings forward the physicians,
who declare that her Majesty will be lost if she does not take cer-
tain mineral waters of incomparable efficacy, and which, let it be
observed, are only to be found in Navarre. Narvaez replies that
physicians are not infallible, and that sea baths are worth all the
mineral waters to be found in all Spain. Christina insists. Nar-
vaez loses all temper, and begins to find that Mme. Munoz is too
difficult for him to manage, and that things will never go well in
Spain until she has joined her husband in France. The situation of
the present dictator in Spain is singular. The rival of Espartero,
he is reduced to copy him whom he has overthrown. Espartero
ingratiated himself with the army, and, by its means, raised himself
and maintained his power until the day of his fall. It was by the
army that Narvaez obtained the government; that he has kept,
and will keep it, in spite of all the aversion of which heis the ob-
ject. Espartero, who, by his sword, so long supported the re-
gency of Christina, found himself at last constrained to abandon
her, and drive her away into France. Narvaez, after having re-
called Christina, and, in effect, restored her to her former position,
both political and pecuniary, is probably on the point of finding
himself compelled to use violence and expel this ambitious and
turbulent woman again from Spain, into which she returned only
through him."
