The Jew Bill is now hopeless, and the question comes,
how long the Constituencies of London and Greenwich
are to remain disfranchised as to two seats by the two
legal nonentities that occupy them. ROTHSCHILD will
not contest London; and his flunkies and political under-
lings who flocked to support and intrigue for him are
satisfied of the fact, for he has held his hand as to largesse,
in which he never very greatly indulged. As to his
colleague, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, he must fall back to
Tavistock, or any other carefully preserved corrupt old
Whig seat. He has still got the idea that he is leading
something or somebody, and talks of " advising those who
act with him," as if he really had anybody to act with
him at all.

Was there ever a Parliament so miraculously anxious
to go back to its constituents as this one ? The awful
terrors the hustings once presented—the claims of scouts
and puffers, and nameless agents—mysterious phantoms
summoned by the wand of COPPOCK, and disappearing
before the arrival of the Sergeant at Arms like a ghost at
cockcrow—even the " horrible shadow" of unpaid hotel-
bills has no terror of the Whigs. They look upon Lord
DERBY and their constituents as " the De'il and the deep
sea," and they prefer the latter. Lord Jonx insists on
immediate dissolution on what principle, nobody can tell,
except that being condemned he wishes the execution

suddenly over. He need not look the Jews in the face
again. The " conshiderashons" have not been given, and
the " nation" very greatly resent the indignity of tacking
their emancipation to the tail of the abortive Reform Bill.
Lord JOHN has been the " Antonio bound," but, as old
WELLER. says, he has turned out " a' immoral 'TONY";
and, as I am quoting from DICKENS, I may as well adopt
as to Lord JOHN'S proceedings generally the opinion de-
livered by Wackford Squeers to Ralph Nickleby, when he
was apprehended, "You have been and done it now!
young man ! you have !"

The prudent, reserved, careful, and telling replies of the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, have very seriously
surprised and alarmed the incongruous Opposition.
DISRAELI is another example that a man of genius can
be a man of business. SWIFT, doubtless, was right in the

But it is not universal. The nation, of all parties, have
been compelled to admit the statesmanlike qualities of a

The grant to Maynooth, as every one must have anti-

cipated, has become a very serious consideration to every
party in or out of office. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S liberality
to that institution of monkish secrecy and " darkness
" has been fatal to the object of his favour. The
