PARTIES ENGLAND,

The House of Commons which governs Ea-
gland is, at present, divided into FIVE distinct par
ties, beside some few eccentric knots and indi-
yiduali.ies, not one of which, alone, can con-
mand that which is essential to ali English Gov
erDuent's existence, a parliamentary majority,
With some few broken interludes, the House
of Commons had-tO within the last few
years-been ranged into two great armies, each
representing some great principle Of progress or
preservation, in support Of which individual
members were willing to sacrifice peculiar phases
of opinion. Each new recruit enlisted under one
or the other banner; and, though each army may
have had its different regiments with different
faciDgs, when the cry # battle came they were
found rsnged under the one or other standard.
Perhaps the straDgest feature in this war ofp.rtes
is presented 10 the anomaly, that the Wings have
always had for their ruling principle to govern
by popular measures through aristo ,ratic men
the Cavendishes, Ws'poles, Ro.kinghams, Greys,
Russells, and Pain erstons, while, on the other
hand, the Tories have maintained aristOcratic
principles through leaders borrowed from the
peOple-as Pitt, Gaming, Peel, and Disraeli. Sir
Robert Peel was the frst to break down the
government of party. Brought in in Al to main
tain Prote ction in 46 he proposed Free trade,
and this aliensted the whole force Of the most
compact army the House Of Commons had ever
seen. Had Sir Robert Peel called his soldiers
together, and appealed to their feelings of pat
rio.ism or place, it is probable he would have
prevented this detection; but cold, cautious
and reserved, his Free-trade announcement fell
upon his camp, startling and stunning as sud-
den shell.
A mutiby arose, and under the gallant, dashlng
Derby, that camp Of dullness was reared OF
which Dsraeli is the solitary fire. Attaching
himtelf, like his own Vivian Grey, to Lord George
Bentinck-a generous, naughty noble, who had the
prestige of aristccratic birth bat no parliamentary
brain-Disraeli, when Bentnck was removed
from the scene naturally fell into his place, and
now leads numerically the strongest party 10 the
House. The HouAe numbers COS, and Of these
Disrael may be said to command about $50 good
fighting men. Murmurs have requensly broken out
sgai1st him among his arisiocratic troops, who
bate him because he is blemished adyenturer,
wears the mark OF Judah on his face, and mos.
Of all, because he comes from the scorned order
of the people. The blood Of Shylock is in his
veins, AID We shall strangely wonder, when the

THE RANK ADVER Using.

When the law was passed requiring the banks
of this City to make to the Bank Superintendent
weekly report of their affairs it was also enacted
that each bank should psy for the publication Of
its own statement in newspaper to be desig-
mated by that officer. 1t has been alleged that
this provision was framed with special view to
sustaining journal then about to be launched
amid the dangers and trials Of this wicked
world; but whether this allegation be true
or false-and it is 3 question now of little
copsequence--the requirement in question
ought to be abrogated. Indeed, while the
advertisements have been regularly published,
everybody will admit that they have not been of
the slightest use to any party, except the estab-
lisbment receiving Pay for their insertion. All
the information they contained has been volun-
tari)y laid before the public with equal prompt
tude and regularity by all the other journals OF
the City, in a condensed tabular form, OF far
greater value for practical use, than three or four
struggling columns OF separate advertisements;
and even the paper helped by this official patron
sge, has at the same time, gratuitously Furnished
such table to which alone persons seeking to learn
the facts respecting the books have ever looked
| in its columns. There is not a single reason OF
public benefit why the Banks should be sub
je :ted to this burdens and, though the income
mag be agreeable and convenient to its favored
recipients, we respectfully submit that. if taxes
must be levied by the State, to piece out the de-
fcient receipts of any newspaper, it is hardly
fair that they should be imposed on the banks
alone. In such sn emergency all kinds of bust
ness and all descriptions of property, should
come up and do their part in this great public
duty of the cribs.
But until such an emergency appears, wetrust
that the provision of the law in question will be
repealed, and this system Of advertising alb An
doned. All needfal publicity eau be had by re-
curing the Banks to post up weekly, at the
Clearing House. the particulars contained in theil
present statements, and thus to furnish them Ia
ali the journals for gratutous public ,tion just al
is now the practice. The advertisements are
useless, and therefore absurd; let them be
| abolished

DISCUSSES TORN OFF.

1t lie no uncommon thing for the parsisa1s o..
spoloeists Of Slavery, including the still large,
but, thank Heaven, rapidly diminishing class Of
Northern douehfaces, when hard pressed, and
finding no loophole through which to escape,
to turn to bay with the declaration that after
all, it is they who are the true friends Of emanci
patton, and that the Abolltlonists and pretended
Anti Slavery people are, in fact, the chief
obstacles in the way Of the abolition of Slavery.
Tie evidence chiefly relied upon to maintain
this very parsdO1ical assertion, is the unlues
tiopable fact Of the great change which, in the
last FIVE. and twenty years hss taken place In the
the oretical views current q. the South on the
subject of Slavery 1t used they say, in the old
times of Patrick Henry, Washington and Jefer-
son, before modern Abotionism was heard Of
to be fairly admitted by the slsysholiers them
selves that Slavery was not only an econo ncal and
political, but moral evil also; while It's ultimate
abolition was regarded a. an essential article Of
faith-s thingto be looked forward to by al good
men, though nobody seemed to have any very
accurate idea when or how it was to be brought
about.
In this respect there has, beyond doubt,
q great change come over the dream of the
South. The Shareholders began with denying
that Slavery was moral evil. They did that,
some of them, in the Convention that formed the
Constitution of the United States; and the same
denial was repeated in the First AID Second Con.
