PARLIAMENTARY.
SYMPTOMS of the session drawing 10 a close
are observable in the withdrawal of a number Of
bills. There is no parliamentary session TO which
.ne memory Of man exendeth, where labor Of
more severe and continuous kind has been exact
ed from the representatives Of the people, and The
Ioya speech which dismisses them TO their re-
spec,iye districts, will be addressed to weary
frames and, il may be- impaired constitutions

Local tribunals properly constituted and well

The New Zealand debate has terminated in a
majority for the Government, but, as a greatGe
neral is said once to have declared "Another
Suchvictory and am undone" Sir Robert Peel
threw his colleague, Lord Stanley, virtually

onl ne censured, by implication, his policy; and
although The Government Tiumphed by little
more than hafa hundred votes, even that num-

na'ofy OF The BILL The Government has made
some concessions, but not enough to satisfy the

This seems fair enough, but The government
sl ont with determination TO have nothing 10
Co with The religious education OF the pupils, and
y his view they still adhere. They are willing 10
allow the different religions communions TO esta-

'ne Pfoestan,s are the most wealthy and The Ro-
man Catholics the poorest people, O'Connell con-
