THE BUSINESS OF LEGISLATION

WHEN Lord. JCIIN RUSSELL was asked, a few
days since, if some means could be devised for
closing the sittiog of the House of Commons -at an
earlier hour than three or four o'-clock in the morn-
ing, he replied that it was impossible. They rust
be content to sit through half the day and almost
all the night, or else prolong the .Session without
any vacation ; and, he added that he did not believe
there was a Legislature in the rorld that got
through so much business. This is the opinion of
an experienced legislator—a man hackneyed in the
ways of Parliament ; but we may ask the nature or
value of that business which he claims so much
credit for being transacted. So far from his statement
being correct, we would back our own Town Council
against the Reformed
.House of Commons, not only
for the importance of the business done, but for the
economy of the time in 'doing it. We have now
reached the latter half of July—a time when a pro-
rogation is confidently looked forward to—and it
would require even more ingenuity than LordJoirN
RUSSELL can boast of, to discover that immense
:amount of business for which he claims credit.
The six months that have elapsed seem to have
been literally wasted in idle talks and already has
commenced what is familiarly styled "the slaughter
of -the innocents," or the withdrawing from further
progress all those Bills which have been discussed
for no other purpose than to waste time, and to
make a show of doing business when nothing was
intended to be done. It has sometimes been
attempted to be argued that this delay in legislation
is unavoidable; but it is in reality the old game of
the Whigs, whose political capital is made up of
promises which are never intended to be realised.
They are truly political impostors, obtaining credit
upon false pretences, and the misfortune is, that the
people who return representatives to support them
cannot see through the delusion of which they are
the victims. The Whigs never came into office
without a flourish of trumpets, which raised mag-
nificent hopes that were certain to be disappointed,
and never left office without the execrations of the
people, who were angry at being duped, and yet
suffered themselves to be again cajoled by the same
means. The infusion of the PEELITE element into
the present Coalition Ministry has not improved the
features of the system, though it reconciled the
waverers and the pretended Conservatives into a
lukewarm support. From the antiquated imbecility
of the Premier, the truckling expediency of the
parliamentary hack, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the
weather-cock turningabout of SirJAMES GRAHAM,
the ingenious blundering of Mr. GLADSTONE, the
legal ignorance of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL,
down to the rampant Radicalism of Sir WILLIAM
MoLESWORTH, the Ministry has all the worst faults
of Whiggery, without a redeeming quality; and
having now nearly reached the close of a Seellion

FROII OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING.

I TROUBLE you as little as may be with politics; nor shall
I much in this paragraph. There was a long sitting of
the Cabinet on Saturday, and ditto repeated, with the ad-
dition of " Cabinet pudding" (the best of them all) at
Argyle House (ABERDEEN'S) in the evening. Russia
and Turkey again the subject. Let me plsce the present
position of affairs in a nutshell. Since my last communi-
cation, out of the Foreign-office nothing has transpired.
Why ? The Coalition Ministers are waiting the arrival of
a messenger from St. Petersburg with the EMPEROR'S
note in answer to the expressed feelings of the QUEEN of
ENGLAND, through her Ministers, signed by the Great
Powers, including—though last not least—Austria, im-
ploring NICHOLAS to go home again. Meantime our
Turkey merchants here are crying out bitterly, their
houses abroad are going to " the dogs" (literally no no-
velty) from doubt what to do, and consequent stagnation.
At the clubs three sentiments prevail, one condemnatory
of the Government, for not long ago erecting the crest
of England against Russia ;—another condemning the
taciturnity of Ministers ; and the third, perhaps
after all the most sensible, to the effect that a few
days—be it weeks,—passed in mediation, will be much
better than the bluster of war with such a power as
Russia. All sorts of rumours are flying about, traceable
from the Continental Bourses ; that one, about the Rus-
sians wintering across the Pruth, and sending for their
families, is supremely absurd. Several gentlemen con-
nected with literary and artistic pursuits, who left Lon-
don about three weeks ago, are enjoying the hospitality
of the Turk, who is a deuced fine fellow in the evening,
though rather slow all the day ; but even at night drink-
ing taperly—in this respect entirely coinciding with the
French officers ; in the still silvery evening, the unmis-
takeable English laugh is heard on both sides of the
Bosphorus. Some exquisite sketches I have seen of the
fleets of France and England in the Turkish waters, all
as quiet as the craft of the T. Y. C. below Woolwich.

PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 15.—Since our last report we have bad
a good steady improving business passing in Butter, and prices
have further advanced 45 per cwt. ; and as supplies continue
short, and demand good, higher rates still must inevitably be
obtained. Waterford, Carrick, Clonmel, and Carlow, 90s to
925; Limerick, 84s to 86s; Sligo, 86s to 85s; Belfast, 86s to 90s.
A large public sale of American Cheese was held here yesterday,
which met a ready and good demand, all being sold at very full
prices, viz., 35s t 0.504 being from 8s to 12s dearer than this
time twelve months for similar quality. Bacon and Lard
steady, but only in limited request at unchangeable quotations
from our last statement.
JULY 18.—The Butter market was chill all last week, and
only a limited business was done; but owing to the smallness
of the stock, prices in general were maintained. The dealers

refuse to buy more than to meet their immediate requirements,
and holders most likely would give way Is to 2s to make better
progress in sales. The most favourite brands of Waterford,

Carrick, and Clonmel, may now be quoted at 89s to 91s; Kil-
kenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 883 to 90s ; Limerick, 84s to 86s ;
Sligo, 82s to 865; Cork thirds 84s, fourths 78s, and pickled
seconds 80s to 82s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 11th to the 16th instant, both inclusive :-16,74 4
firkins, 189 kegs, 795 crocks, 395 boxes, 361 barrels Butter ; 27

BRAZIL AND THE RIVER PLATE.

Brazil and Rio La Plata mails, and dates from Buenos
Ayres June 2 ; Montevideo, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 14 ;
Bahia, 18 ; and Pernambuco, 21.
From Buenos Ayres we learn that the army of General
Urquiza had neither advanced nor retreated. Blockade
by the squadron was constituted, and this rendered pro-
visions gradually scarcer. In fact, to starve the city now
seems to be his object. One letter says:—The besiegers
decidedly lose ground, and Urquiza, with his Gauchos
and the old cutthroats of Rosas, neither dares to make an
assault, nor will they await a general action when General
Paz is ready, as we think he will soon be, to go out and
attack them. The sally would probably have taken place
on the night of the 27th and the morning of the 28th ult.,
had not a heavy rain unfortunately interrupted the opera-
tions, and rendered the roads unfit for the purpose for
several days. The weather has since been fine, and we are
now in expectation of a decisive movement.

DAYS OF MY CHILDHOOD,

__LY HERBERT, from a recently published
entitled " lone's Dream, and other Poems."]

By JANE E
Vol

, . r ever, sweet days of my childhood,
For ever, I know it, end think with a sigh
Of the wild-ringing laugh, in the green-hanging wild wood,
And the visions of joy that grew up but to die.
Hallowed thy hills, lovely spot, though departed
Every tint that made bright the lone paths round my home;
Through the world's sterner ways, that may leave broken-
hearted,
Thy memorials are round me wherever I roam.

Gone, and

Home of my early love, near me no more
The paths whet e the elm and arbutus boughs fell;
Oh ! well I remember that day when I tore
My steps and my heart from that vision-like dell.
I sigh as I think of the past and its dream,
When youth bore a charm of enchantment and joy—
When gladness swelled high on the bank of the stream,
And childhood knew nothing of griefs that destroy.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JULY

BRAZIL AND THE RIVER PLATE

By the Royal Mail Steam-ship Tay, Captain Revett,
which reached Southampton on Wednesday, we have the
Brazil and Rio La Plata mails, and dates from Buenos
Ayres June 2 ; Montevideo, 5; Rio de Janeiro, 14 ;
Bahia, 18 ; and Pernambuco, 21.
From Buenos Ayres we learn that the army of General
Urquiza had neither advanced nor retreated. Blockade
by the squadron was constituted, and this rendered pro-
visions gradually scarcer. In fact, to starve the city now
seems to be his object. One letter says :—The besiegers
decidedly lose ground, and Urquiza, with his Gauchos
and the old cutthroats of Rosas, neither dares to make an
assault, nor will they await a general action when General
Paz is ready, as we think he will soon be, to go out and
attack them. The sally would probably have taken place
on the night of the 27th and the morning of the 28th ult.,
had not a heavy rain unfortunately interrupted the opera-
tions, and rendered the roads unfit for the purpose for
several days. The weather has since been fine, and we are

HORTICUTURE.
Stove, Greenhouse, B,•c.—Where the propagation of
plants is a matter of interest, the present is the time for
pursuing this operation with activity. The Pelargoniums
are now past their blooming season, and the wood is suffi-
ciently ripened for cuttings ; these should be putinto asmall
bed of sand, and do as well outside if a shady place be
selected, and the cuttings protected with handglasses.
Many other plants may be treated in the same manner ;
for instance, the greenhouse Lantanas. Leaves of Gloxinias
and Gesnerias require bottom heat. Heaths which have
been struck this season should be potted off, and the old
plants, if not placed outside, must have the greatest possi-
ble amount of ventilation.
Flower Garden.—The excessive rains and wind have
made Ead havoc in this department, and it will require
much time and care to restore it to the beauty we expect
to find at this season of the year. The two evils com-
plained of have very much curtailed the rose season, which
otherwise would have been one of unusual brilliancy.
Where stocks have been prepared, and are in goad con-
dition, the process of budding may be commenced. Where
Alpine plants are cultivated, the stock should be well
looked over, and kept free from weeds ; it is also an ex-
cellent time for propagating those beautiful little things,
giving the cuttings time to get well established before the
winter.

Kitchen Garden.—The chief occupation of the
in this department must now be getting out the winter
crop of cabbage, brocoli, &c., also sow endive and winter
lettuce for au early crop.;

FRO:11 OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING.

I TROUBLE you as little as may be with politics; nor shall
I much in this paragraph. There was a long sitting of
the Cabinet on Saturday, and ditto repeated, with the ad-
dition of " Cabinet pudding" (the best of them all) at
Argyle House (ABERDEEN'S) in the evening. Russia
and Turkey again the subject. Let me place the present
position of affairs in a nutshell. Since my last communi-
cation, out of the Foreign-office nothing has transpired.
The Coalition Ministers are waiting the arrival of
a messenger from St. Petersturg with the EMPEROR'S
note in answer to the expressed feelings of the QUEEN of
ENGLAND, through her Ministers, signed by the Great
Powers, including—though last not least—Austria, im-
ploring NICHOLAS to go home again. Meantime our
Turkey merchants here are crying out bitterly, their
houses abroad are going to " the dogs" (literally no no-
velty) from doubt what to do, and consequent stagnation.
At the clubs three sentiments prevail, one condemnatory
of the Government, for not long ago erecting the crest
of England against Russia ;—another condemning the
taciturnity of Ministers ; and the third, perhaps
after all the most sensible, to the effect that a few
days—be it weeks,—passed in mediation, will be much
better than the bluster of war with such a power as
Russia. All sorts of rumours are flying about, traceable
from the Continental Bourses ; that one, about the Rus-
sians wintering across the Pruth, and sending for their
families, is supremely absurd. Several gentlemen con-
nected with literary and artistic pursuits, who left Lon-
don about three weeks ago, are enjoying the hospitality
of the Turk, who is a deuced fine fellow in the evening,
though rather slow all the day ; but even at night drink-
ing taperly—in this respect entirely coinciding with the
French officers ; in the still silvery evening, the unmis-
takeable English laugh is heard on both sides of the
Bosphorus. Some exquisite sketches I have seen of the
fleets of France and England in the Turkish waters, all
as quiet as the craft of the T. Y. C. below Woolwich.

I am not sure that Mr. FITZ ROY'S new Cab Bill, with
its famous sixpenny fares, which came into operation a
go, is working so well, and beneficially for the
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-07-19

LAW REFORM.

.we :remember the immense .amount of
practical good ,which was effected last year in the
reform of the Court of Chancery and other depart-
menu of jlaricprudenee, ender the auspices of a
Conservative Administration, the present session of
Parliament presents,a melancholy picture of broken
promises and mental imbecility. Well might Lord
BRO UGHA.,:d complain on Friday, that after all had
been done, which could be done in the Upper Home,
to effect an admitted improvement in the Law .of
Evidence, the Bill had been shelved in the House
of Commons through the indolence of Ministers,
although there was no opposition to its details. In
erery other particular there has been the same
shameful procrastination; and though the sesiion
commenced with a show of legal reforms, which
would have made the reputation of a Ministry, we
are now practically in the same state as when Lord
DERBY resigned his office and Lord ST. LEONARDS
left the woolsack. The SOWCITOR-GENERAL
promised a comprehensive measure for the re-
form of the Ecclesiastical Courts ; but though
it has been made the excuse for putting off ,
the Probate of Wills and Grant of A.dministra-
tion Bill, and other Bills promoted by private
members, not a step has been taken to realize
the promise. The reform of the statute law, with
which Lord CRANWORTIf marked his elevation to
the woolsack, is just where it was six months ago,
and the session is about to close without the slightest
advance having been made in the revision, which,
if words had been deeds, seemed likely to have
been accomplished before the Easter recess. We can
come to no other conclusion than that, if we would
see the reform carried out in the administration of
the law to which so many have been anxiously look-
ing forward, we must wait for the restoration of a
Conservative Administration, and the return of Lord
ST. LEONARD s to the place which ha filled with so
much credit to himself and advantage to the
country.
