The House of Lords.

The opinion Is expressed by London correspon-
dent Of the Philadelphia North American that the
suppression of the British House of Lords would
not be viewed by the bulk of the British people as
n calamity. Perhaps the submerging of the three
islands would be hailed with delight by all the in
habitants. We dare say that the people of Eng
land do not approve the monopoly of honors
which the mobiles Of that country manage to Sc
cure, but they would no more abolish their dar
ing aristoracy than Americans would the United
States Senate. The House of Lords ia not only in
dispensable politically to the framework of the
British government, but its hereditary feature is
precisely that which makes it august and yenera-
bic to the common herd, whilst it is sufficiently
accessible TO distinguished merit, to inspire men
Of genius in both civil and military life with hope
and ambition. The masses of Great Britain would
sooner part with St Paul's cathedral, the Thames
river and all the colonies, than with the House of
Lords By some mysterious process they have
identified themselves with the grandeur and pow
or of the sristocracy just as the servants of man
Of pretensons in cur country reflect his gran
deur, and look down with contempt upon other
Triggers" They delight in the lords pedigree

The month of May, which brings sunshine and
smiles to all the rest Of creation, usher the I'm
happy city of New York into ~ sea of troubles"
Upon the frst day of that eventfnl month, all
people who expect to change their lodgings in the
course Of the year, perform that interesting cere
nony and from sunrise till night, the streets are
crowded with furniture wagons, and the houses
turned inside ont and upside down. No sooner
has this Internal tumult and uproar subsidized,
than hordcs Of aboitionists, woman's rights Ia.
natios, agrarian, socialist and spirituslist mad
men rush in lsgionB upon the doomed town, and
present q lively image Of Bedlam let loose, or the
imps OF darkness ia council The old citadel of the
Tract Society has been the most interesting recent
object of assaults, sud enormous amount OF
words has been exp frs In the siege The great
weapon in these fans.'cal crusadss is the tougne,
aud he who can say the most irrational things
and discharge the most abusive epithets, is the
greatest warrior and is crowned with the wreaths
victory. These New York anniversaries act as
safety valve to let out the surplus steam Of ia
nsticism. All the envy, malice, unchnritableness
and rage, which have been engendered and con-
centrating for year pass off in the month of May
in terrific roar in the Broadway Tabernacle, and
then everybody feels better, and goes home, with
ALI the bio OF the stomach, and as impotent for
evil as for good.
1t Is amusing, to people at this distance, to be-
hold these cages, philosophers and phianthropists
discussing with terrific gravity questions OF e1
olusiveiy Southern interest, questions with which
they have nothing on the face of the earth to do.
and which will not be in the slightest degree af.
fected by any decision to which they may come.
1t awfully edifying to hear them debating IN,
der what circumstances slaveholding Is sin, and
mapping out with infa.lible wisdom tho various
shades and degrees Of criminality. What know
ledge, charity, modesty, humility!
