Nearly the whole of the last week has been devoted
to the nuausl work of votiar away pv6fie money for sup-
porting the present system of government. In former
Sessions mallows were Toted without opposition, and
often is a lionse composed ofia very few meehers ; dreg
want of opposition arose from t fore-knowledge that this
the eloquence of Denton-mutts would be lino upon
the members of this assembly ; a majority of which is
•tetarned by 134 persons, all of whom are connected
with the (Merriment. The most independent men
Were disgusted ; and therefore, on these occasions,
shone to stay away rather than sacrifice their health
to these owl-like disenssions. Hence the isrolligate
waste of our money; hence the support of pensions to
.lords, Ladies, and Mistresses; and hence the conse-
singlet distress of the great body of the people. Mr.
Hanna, however, has caused a new era in the History
of Parliament. He has adopted one of the most effec-
tual means of opposition to all vire, either public or
prirete.—Exposure: He has resisted every vote
whit& was not fairly demanded for the public service ;
and, In support of that resistance, he has stripped
corruption of her mask, and dragged her to public
view in all het native deformity. The research and
thoindnatry of this gentleman most be immense ; and
although he is outvoted upon every question, 111 EN-
routs; and, as we observed on Saturday, there ran be
no doubt that even his unsuccessful resistance will
work a considerable benefit. Already have Ministers
groaned most bitterly under the lash. They declare
they are " willing to retrench," and that they " will
retrench ;" that they are considering of the " way, the
lbw, and the mode." Mr. Hume, however, does not
intend to trust them, and has declared his resolution to
persevere in opposing every estimate. Ile rill be
outvoted ; hut 4e rid ; and the .lini.trr must,
ultimately, either retrench or shut the public out
from Lestring the debates. How altered is the present
language of our rulers from that which they held when
they wereonosed by Pre Habiders" Then indeed the Mi-
nister talked and Lowed, and derided all opposition.—

the legislative body of Spain of conduct disrespectful
