FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING.
Ar the east end of Threadneedle-street, the great aorta
of the city, there stands an antique and commodious
building, with paved court-yard, grass growing in the
insterstices indicative of dulness; the whole has much the
appearance of a court-yard to an Italian decayed palazzo,
where you can have your horse curried under your nose,
or your Albanian kicked if it so please. The edifice
referred to is the South Sea House—words associated with
early memories of humbug—diddle—fraud ! Happily
matters of the past. The South Sea people yet have their
quarterly meetings; what they do is best known to them-
selves. There are annuitants among them ; for I heard
my Lord Sr. LEONARD'S, the great Chancery Chancellor,
referring to that other Chancellor's scheme, say that " its
working out would require a good deal of machinery ;"
low phraseology for House of Peers, yet appropriate
enough. This had reference to suitors in Chancery—the
ink thickens as I write the desperate words ! Suitors in
Chancery ! affected by the measure of Mr. GLADSTONE.
There is a power of untold gold here, never, never to be
found counted out—at least into the purses of many poor
collaterals. It was on Monday night, always an interesting
one in both Houses of the Legislature, that the South Sea
Annuity Bill stood for discussion. Earl GRANVILLE got
my Lords to consent to the debate taking place on the
third reading—a common occurrence, a rather interesting
conversation having taken place on the necessity for
improvements in India ; almost, one would have con-
sidered, unnecessary, seeing that Lord GRANVILLE stated,
with some pomp, that a friend of his recently travelled
from Calcutta to Delhi, a distance of 900 miles, in his own
carriage ! Oh ! GRANVILLE, GRANVILLE—GRANNY !
GRANNY! I was about to write you down playfully;
surely you know well enough that the way from Calcutta
to Delhi is the great thoroughfare ; European gentleman,
soldier and civilian, with liver " no bigger than a hazel
nut," go that way in search of health. Hence your good
road, old fellow ! Mentioning the South Sea House
reminds me of a group of other houses adjacent. These
have connexion with the great region under our feet—the
Antipodes. I remember having something to do with
certain associations of good and true mercantile men, who
had a dreamy impression that Australia, Van Dieman's
Land, Sidney, I jumble them altogether, had something
in them, agricultural, mineralogical, and otherwise. Com-
panies were formed at the period; in my young remem-
brance, you could form a company, joint-stock, for any
end ; either for the brewing of beer better than BAR-
CLAY'S (!) or deputrifying—yea, setting fire to the
Thames. The Australian companies met from quar-
ter to quarter, scarcely a quorum representing thou-
sands of acres and millions of pounds sterling of gold in
the bowels of their territory. Halfpenny dividends—no
dividends—moved and carried, and likely then, to be ad
infinitum. " Never say die," quoth a city Abraham, of
faith as great and strong as the first venerated of the name.
What's the result ? Princely fortunes to the former half-
penny dividenders who held on. But why go so far away ?
there's Waterloo Bridge, which had for its main pier—
Chairman of the Company—Sir JOSEPH YORKE,—Ad-
rniral, who had sailed safely, in every sea, in every wea-
ther, for forty and more years, now scudding by the
" vexed Bermoothes," anon in angry Biscay ; straightway
scratching his sides in Gibraltar's gut—yet drowned—
tumbled out of skiff, in his old days, in Southampton
water, his native river, within 'sight of his house, and
drowned dead ! Sir JOSEPH was the Chairman of the
Waterloo Bridge Company; he too met the shareholders
discontented at their meetings, they were" chaffed" about
farthing dividends ; look at them now ! the bridge is alive
with cab, bus, car, van ; no-end to the receipts, owing to
the Great Railway terminus. Therefore " never say die."
Mr. GLADSTONE, you will perceive, 'was silent in the
debate preceding the division on the Budget resolutions—
carried. He came into the house in the course of the
evening exhausted and leaning on the arm of Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, who stuck up for the jaded CHANCELLOR. The
Government has two good backers,—The Times out of
the house, and Mr. LOWE, the member for Kiddermin-
ster, in it. This gentleman has taken the country by
surprise ; he is a celebrity in mind and body ; the latter
stalwart enough, with the distinguishing characteristics
of the Albino, only I won't go bail that he possesses the
real red rabbitly eyes of the Albino ; he is, however, as
apparently short-sighted and white-haired as any of that
peculiar race. He is a clever man unknown to fame, save
that of Kidderminster, until lately, when he made his
debut as member for the carpet borough. He is one of
the leading writers of the Times newspaper, and highly
esteemed.
Since the Irish Union, it is believed such another oc-
currence never took place as on the division on the Budget
resolutions ; all the Irish members, 105, were in town ;
103 voted ; Mr. COGHAN, M.P. for Kildare County, was
confined by illness to his apartment, and could not vote ;
Mr. TOWNLEY, member for Sligo Borough, went away,
and did not vote. Referring to the Irish members and
their divisions parliamentary puts me in mind of the first
" count out" of the season, which occurred on Tuesday
evening. Let it be received with " ayes vehement," as be-
fits the harbinger of several such ere the close of the Ses-
sion. On the above evening Sir J. FITZGERALD moved for
leave to bring in a bill for Ireland, to prevent the presence of
soldiers at or near the scene of an election, as in England
and Scotland. The motion, it will be perceived, had its origin
in the Six-mile Bridge affair, which had been discussed over
and over. The hon. member went on hoping against hope,
and speaking too, but he had no ministerial response.
BELLAMY'S round of beef—truly English, old port, real
Lisbon, and, eke his brown brandy and pump-water, had
more attractions ; one by one the members drcpped out,
until one sensibly rose with an air of profound simplicity
and took the liberty of mentioning to Mr. SPEAKER that
he thought—he was not sure—he might be wrong—but
he thought there were not forty members in the house.
Bless him ! he was right, there were only thirty-seven ;
so what could Mr. SPEAKER do, poor helpless shepherd,
but adjourn the house. Had there been a debate on the
threadbare subject, it would have led to nothing but a
loud and decided " No." If a real count out is pleasant,
a ministerial resolve to make a house is as " disgusting."
Say the Minister has a motion he wants carried ; the
Opposition won't have it,—they stay away ; the SPEAKER
takes the chair at four o'clock, a few minutes for prayers,
and he begins in solemn numbers to count one—two—
three—and so on, as far as there are members in the
house, or coming in ; he reaches thirty-seven—a very
ticklish number ;—no one enters ; what is the Minister
or his whipper-in to do ? " Tip the wink," and get an
adherent to do his best in any way to knock up the re-
maining three members thirty-eight thirty-nine—
forte Thus have I seen, upon my veracity, Mr. GLAD.
STONE rolled into three members, and counted as sick ;
first, on the floor legitimately—next, at the door of the
gallery, and again at the opposite gallery surreptitiously ;
a pious political fraud, in which, of course, the end must
justify the means. The Government made a house, and
the business of the country was transacted. Surely that
was good and proper ;Mr. GLADSTONE would have acted
otherwise had he not thought so.
I happen to have opportunities of knowing that on no
questions—save great interests of state—are the QUEEN'S
feelings more warmly directed than as regards applica-
tions for the Royal munificence on the score of merit,
of whatever order. HER MAJESTY has made glad the
hearths of two or three literary fathers lately, and since
my last she has, in the glowing words of Holy Writ,
made the widow's heart to sing for joy. Who of your
Liverpool townsmen did not know GEORGE LEDDITTER,
ex-policeman if you like ? GEORGE, the gentleman !
Full oft have you cleared the way for me at Court and
Coronation. Peace to your manes ! LEDBITTER was
one of the old police force, though at the time of his
death, a few months ago, he was in little more than prime
manhood. Hulky but good-looking, always well dressed
and well mannered, he was a great favourite with the
nobs. I have jingled a glass with him, and now that he
is gone, lam not ashamed of it. His gentlemanly mode
made his expenses heavy, and going home in a rotten cab
one night it overbalanced and killed LEDIIITTER. With-
out referring to the means employed, QUEEN VICTORIA
was informed that his widow was but poorly off. Swift
as action of Voltaic battery, the widow is told on the
word of a queen that she is marked down for fifty
pounds a year till the end of her days. This is England !
There were two notable deputations to Ministers last
week, one sane, the other —. The former was to
Lord PALMERSTON on the subject of the City Railway
Terminus, Mr. CHARLES PEARSON'S excellent plan of
bringing railway travellers into London close to St. Paul's,
which he will carry in the teeth of much opposition.
The other deputation was of the Peace people. Both
were received with more than the hacknied courtesy of
such affairs, for PALMERSTON told the city men that he
liked the plan, and, objections like " errors " in mer-
cantile accounts " excepted, he would support the
measure. The Peace Society came off with CLARENDON
almost as well. The members spoke (for a wonder) but
little, always a safe course in such a case, and really all
they asked, any minister, however fierce, might without
compunction have granted •, namel yto
insert in any
treaty with America a clause authorising the settlement
of international disputes by arbitration. This has be
done before ; did not BARING, the first of merchant
i ol
Princes, and first Lord ASIIBURTON in hs d
age, in this way settle the Oregon boundary ? Bu
America is not all the world ; and I am afraid
the best preservative of peace, after all, is being
prepared for war. JOSEPH HUME spoke two or three
words to the point. "Just insert the clause," said
JOSEPH to the Earl of CLARENDON, " if it were for no
other purpose than to show our peaceful disposition."
4g warry good," answered CLARENDON. COBDEN was
very rear spoiling all by blathering about himself and
others being chosen to watch over and promote, in every
practicable way, the cause of international peace. How
we apples swim
The Earl smiled blandly, and the depu-
tation went away
rejoicing as deputations from Downing-
street always do. With regard to Mr. Pealtsos's Rail-
way Terminus, it will apparently be a great blessing to
the city workers—thousands of clerks, warehousemen,
porters—indeed I can't enumerate how many classes—
will, at little or no expense of time or money, be able to
get to their places of business from the country and back
again at night. Mr. PEARSON has many friends in the
city of London,—he would not have been chosen their
solicitor else ; he Las a fund of good nature about him,
and by no means deficient in legal knowledge. His
forensic affections, if the phrase be a correct one, tend to
the prevention rather than the punishment of crime.
Like Mr. WARREN (the author of Ten Thousand a-Year),
Q.C.,and Recorder of Hull, and MATTHEW HILL ditto,
and corder of Birmingham,—a really amiable class of
