peace. The great Bear of the North displays a
warlike front which has agitated every civilised
government, and roused all Europe

Lnd most of

Asia, in defence of their territorial integrity ; th

most gigal

aggression which threatens evils of the most por-
tentous consequence to the future condition of the
human race, and yet, despite all these disturbing
causes, England reposes in the consciousness of
her own might, and her nobles, her gentry, and
her merchants, take their ease and rest from their
labours in apparent disregard of the roar of artil-
lery which thunders from the two extremes of
Europe.

In this profundity of repose, it appears almost a
hopeless task to attempt an appeal to public atten-
tion on any question of importance, however much
it may concern the national welfare. It is a duty,
however, which must be undertaken, or the inter-
val between one session and another will be allowed
to elapse, so that, when Parliament shall again
meet, the excuse may once more be pleaded of want
of time for due deliberation, and another session
be permitted to pass over as fruitless of results as
the last. The bills that have been introduced, and
subsequently withdrawn, are more than sufficient
to occupy Parliament during a session, but all the
labour will be thrown away if the same plan be
pursued of indefinitely postponing them in the
House of Commons until the close has almost been
reached, and then hurrying them through the
House of Lords without time to make those
amendments which are indispensable to our laws
being intelligible. It is this reckless mode of
legislation which renders necessary so many amend-
ment bills to explain the meaning of previous acts,
and it will be found that the time occupied by
Parliament would be considerably -economised 'if

England in the simple fact that, while we are

the greater part of Europe and Asia, it disturbs
little our domestic economy, that our commerce

and even our sports by flood and
field are pursued with as much ardour as though
the world were wrapped in the slumber of profound
peace. The great Bear of the North displays a
warlike front which has agitated every civilised
government, and roused all Europe, and most of
Asia, in defence of their territorial integrity ; the
most gigantic exertions are made to repel an
aggression which threatens evils of the most por-
tentous consequence to the future condition of the
human race, and yet, despite all these disturbing
causes, England reposes in the consciousness of
her own might, and her nobles, her gentry, and
her merchants, take their ease and rest from their
labours in apparent disregard of the roar of artil-
lery which thunders from the two extremes of
Europe.

uninterrupted

In this profundity of repose, it appears almost a
hopeless task to attempt an appeal to public atten-
tion on any question of importance, however much
it may concern the national welfare. It is a duty,
however, which must be undertaken, or the inter-
val between one session and another will be allowed
to elapse, so that, when Parliament shall again
meet, the excuse may once more be pleaded of want
of time for due deliberation, and another session
be permitted to pass over as fruitless of results as
the last. The bills that have been introduced, and
subsequently withdrawn, are more than sufficient
to occupy Parliament during a session, but all the
labour will be thrown away if the same plan be
pursued of indefinitely postponing them in the
House of Commons until the close has almost been
reached, and then hurrying them through the
Rouse of Lords without time to make those
amendments which are indispensable to our laws
being intelligible. It is this reckless mode of
legislation which renders necessary so many amend-
ment bills to explain the meaning of previous acts,
and it will be found that the time occupied by.

less hardship in diminishing the number of hours
at which public-houses are allowed to be open for
purposes of business, and this was evident on the

Sunday before last, in the metropolis, when they
were first brought under the operation of the new
act, and when the restriction was only rendered
inconvenient by all customers, whether travellers
or not, being rigorously excluded. It must not be
supposed that this is a question which concerns only
licensed victuallers and those who frequent their
houses; it is one which has a very important bearing
on the moral habits of a very large portion of the
population, and is therefore entitled to careful con-
sideration before receiving the sanction of the
Legislature. Following their national tendenc
to rush into extremes, the Americans
attempted to avert the evils of drunkenness by
what is called the Maine Liquor-law, forbidding
the sale of all intoxicating liquors. This, how-
ever, would not suit the sense of freedom so pecu-
liarly the characteristic of Englishmen, nor would
it really meet the difficulty, as the reaction would
most probably be worse than the evil attempted to
be remedied. What is most required is an extent
of the trade sufficient for the wants of the com-
munity, with such restrictions as shall prevent its
being abused, and encouragement given to those
scenes of vice and profligacy which so often dis-
grace our large towns. Liverpool has an especial
interest in the question, for licensed houses are far
too abundant in it, and but little control is maintain-

The Post-office authorities have announced their
intention to expedite the night mails for the
North of England and North Wales by dis-
patching them three hours earlier. This will
necessitate the posting of THE STANDARD before
nine o'clock on Monday night, instead of mid-

night, as heretofore; and, in consequence, we
are compelled to request that all advertisements

and communications may be sent to the office
before six o'clock on Monday evening at the
latest. The alteration will afford an advan-

tape to our northern

hseribers in the deliver

of their papers some hovers earlier; and to those
in North Wales there will be a gain of nearly
twenty four hours.

THE PARLIAMENTARY RECESS

IT is now the season of the year when the public
mind having become wearied with political war-
fare, the toils of business, and the cares of this
life, all who have the means gladly seek relaxation
from mental fatigue in the calm delights of rural
enjoyment, aquatic amusements, or highland ram-
bles. Legislation has been hurried through with
reckless haste in order that the session of Parlia-

ment may be closed and legislators left at liberty
to take the field, not on the plains of Turkey in
Europe, against the Russian invader, but on the

moors of Scotland, against the timorous grouse
