THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

The Parliament will formally assim•bie tminorrow, het th • more
Important business will not continence till tike Titesti..iy following
(the 2tl of November), when his Majiiity will it: State to
the House of Lords, and open the Sessioa with t Speech from
the Throne. As usual, all sorts of reports are abroad as to the
subjects to which he will apply himself. it is expected by mate that
he will strongly recommend Retrenchment and Lemomy ; and aka
some Reforms in the state of the Representation. We shall itriifly
re% iew some of the points connected with the meeting of the Moises,
which ate at this moment of great interest. Of these, the first stoic!)
claims attention, is the elate of

PARTIEs Ilf PAILLIANENT—Ther; never was a period in Pat-lia-
mentary history wherein it was so difficult to mark out the distinctions
of party or partizans as the present. The ca:l-boy has gone his weary
round, but, it is said, not with his wonted success. The Treasury
Benches will present a far less formidable array than thee have done
heretofore—the vets:atm will, probably, return to their quarters once
more, and, perhaps, some score of raw recruits, not yet halt drilled, will
be • thinly scattered to make up a show."' The Opposition, oe the
party to whom that epithet was formerly assigned, is it. little better con-
dition—it has been divided and subdivided into so many fractional parts
that it presents but the shadow of its former substance. The antici.
pawl disposition of the House of Commons has been quaintly de-
scribed by one of its most intelligent members, in these terms
—" You will have," said he, " a Minister fearful of the sue-
eess of his measures, because he can repose but little confi-
dence in his men, from whose injudicious advocacy more is to be dreaded
than the direct hostility of his opponents. You have tot one but
several opposition parties, each striving to erect some favourite poll.
Beal structure, so that I fear, amidst such a Babel of sounds, the
great fundamental principles of legislation will be forgotten, if not
wholly lost. The Ministerial leader is aware of this division in the
enemy's camp, and will seek to ferment rather than allay it. Divide
impera is an establised maxim in State politics, and in the present
case there is no doubt that it will be strictly adhered to. The !neutral
Benches, if from no other cause than thetpositive indecision of some,
and the cautious tardiness of other members, will be thickly filled,
though it is probable that after their respective parties shall have ac-
quired something of a definitive tone, many of the neutrals will rally
under particular standards, but enough will remain to keep up a gall-
ing cross-fire against the two great rival factions. For my own part all
places are alike, in the present state of affairs." This is the description'
given by one conversant in the secrets of the " prison-house," and we
believe it will be found tolerably correct. The melancholy event which
has withdrawn Mr. Huskiseon from his labours, leaves his party with-
out a head ; but it is nAt improbable that Mr. Charles Grant may as-
sume that station, although his views in regard to the reciprocity sys-
tem do not go to the same extent as did those of the late member for
Liverpool. It was supposed some time back that the present Speaker
would have been called to the House of Peers, and a contest for the
chair was anticipated ; but all such idea has been abandoned, Mr.
Manners Sutton having expressed his willingness to retain his high
station, at least for another session.

PUBLIC BusixEss —The NEW Parliament will sit, it is
presumed, till about the 14th of December, when an adjournment
will take place until the customary period of meeting, the 4th or sth of
February. The swearing of the members, and the qualification of of.
fic.ens, together with various other matters consequent on the assembling
of a new Parliament, will occupy the whole of the first week. The re.
minder of the time before the Christmas holidays will be devoted to
the consideration of that pint of the public business standing over from
last session, namely, the Civil List, and the unvotcd Miscellaneous Es.
timates. These, of course, will be confined to the House of Commons
but in the House of Peers their Lordships will have an ample field for
debate on the Regency Question, which is expected to excite the most
powerful interest, as it has become the rallying point with the Opposi.
Lion party, who are said to be in considerable strength.
STATI or THE Narrox.--The first subject which will be pressed
on the attention of the legislature, after the recess, will be the Internal
State of the Country, and it is generally supposed that it will be brought
forward by a distinct proposition for the appointment of a select com-
mittee.

PARLIADENTADY Rzrome.--There are not leas than that or fite
schemes for Reform of Parliament in embryo, not one of which are
likely to be adopted; however, it is generally believed that the elective
franchise will be extended to some of the most important and populous
towns, and we know that some attempt will be made to bring about an
alteration in the laws relating to elections, so as to diminish the ruinous
expenses attendant thereon, and to ensure a more perfect system of po-
puha. representation.
Coax Laws AND CIIRDENCY,—That both these subjects will be
mooted is quite certain; but whatever may be attempted by the advo-
cates of free trade in corn, will be warmly opposed by the stickler► for
high rents, who consider a return to the exploded monetory system a
panacea for every evil under which the country is smarting. Few that
recollect the misery produced by that system in the memorable panic of
182.5.6, will consent to its adoption in the present instance.
-

EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CDANTER.—This subject, so important
in all its relations, must occupy a large share of attention in both
houses of parliament. The feeling of many parts of the country against
the monopoly is now too distinct to admit of any miscoostruetion, and
Ministers, having at the close of last session, merely required time to
procure the necessary information to enable the committee on India
affairs to arrive at a just conclusion, stand pledged to go into the whole
question.

MALT DIITIES.—A strong effort will be made to get rid of the du-
ties nu malt, but the Minister will be slow to consent to a measure which
would so greatly depreciate the revenue.

Assisszu Teais.—The outcry mind against these vexatious im.
posts, particularly in the provinces, has been so loud, that it is believed
something must be done in order to mitigate the severity of the exec.
tiona. The cost of collection often exceeds the revenue.

CHUICII PLUZALITIES AND COMMUTATION Or TITHES.
Although the Earl of blounteashers roodon for an inquiry into the
abuses of the Established Church, had but one hand held up when put
to the vote in the House of Peers ; it is well known that many of their
Lordships admitted that a ease had been made out, which demanded
investigation, and that abuses were proved which called tor correction.
Indeed, one of the Dignitaries of that Church (the Bishop of London,)
in his lut visitation to the Clergy of hie diocese, expressly alluded to
that system of pluralism in church livings, which formed the very gist
of the Noble Earl's motion. When the existence of the evil is thus
tacitly admitted by a Spiritual Peer of Parliament, can the Lay Lords
consistently withhold their co-operation from an measure brought for. I
ward to redress it ? It is understood that the Noble Dyke, at the head
of his Majesty's Government, has signified his determination to sup-
port any well-organized plan that may be brought forward for a com-
mutation of tithes ; but his Grace is opposed to the proposition for pay.
ing the clergy from the coffers of the state, on reducing their emolu-
ments to stated salaries. It may be added, that the inferior clergy have
no objection to take a reasonable commutation in lieu of tithes, which,
under the present circumstances of the agricultural classes, are cols
lected with much difficulty in this country, and in the sister kingdom
not without great danger to person and property. An amicable adjust-
ment is, theretore, moat desirable on all sides.
THE SLAVE TaADE.—The philanthropic efforts that have been
made for the abolition of the Slave Trade are on the ere of consomme.
don. What compensation may be awarded to those who have vested
capital, under the idea that the old system would be adhered to, is still
a question of grave consideration ; but however that may be decided, it
is expected the commencement of the new era will be by declaring free
the children of slaves, burn after a day to be named, so that with respect
to the future generation the name of slaves will Le extinct.
Usiox WITH lers.awn.—Public and private accounts from Ire-
land speak of a *mug disposition in that quarter of the Empire to bring
about a repeal of the Union between (heat Britain and Ireland. The
proposition. whatever it be, will be advocated by Mr. O'Connell. who is
k the prime author of this fresh Chapter of Agitation. Without arguing
I the great principle which it involves', it may be enough to say that the
best and tritest friends of frelatid arc opposed to it.
We hive thtfs beatify touCheti on the principal topics which are ex-
pected to come under discuulOn, boi there are various other matter:. of
vast importance that most inevitably engage attention, so that the en.
soingetweien will be one of much interest. Among these we may
ice the following as the most prominent--Proposition for a Property.
Tax..... Repeal of the Coal Duties—Alteration of the Law relating to
ebbed—/teconsiderationof the Bill for Regulailng the Study of Ans-
. timy—Abolltion of the Truck System--Repeal of the Metropolitan
PoSee Act—Proponed Alteration in the Laws respecting Diveress—la.
• in tp the State of (;olonia) Lsegislation.—lntrudnetion of a System
▪ Poor Laws. fnlo Irelahrl—Einancipation of the Jewk—lnquiry into
the State of the Crown Leads, and perhaps an elabseai Investigation
of the plan long since submitted by Mr. Wilmot Horton, for the en-
couragement of Emigration, as a means of extensive relief to this
country.
