TIE great literary event of the day is the
quarrel between Mr.. Charles Dickens and his
publishers, Messrs. Bradbury & Evans. The
latter, who are also the proprietors of Punch,
refused to publish in the periodical the "person-
al statement made by Mr. Dickens about his
separation from his wife, which you will recol-
lect, and showed themselves in other ways in
iinica to him. Mr.. Dickens has consequently
determined to break off all connection with them,
to remove his existing works out oftheir hands,
not to let them have anything to do with his
new books, and TO annul the partnership existing
between him and them in Household Words.
This will be an unspeakable loss TO Bradbury d
Evans, for Dickens was their trump card
Punch is now not much good, and Thackeray,
their next best, is rapidly going down hill as

comes on the beginning of next month. In

For Legislative Reform.

The Hae HaDaii (~native paper) of Wednesday
last has a leader which, though it contains several
inaccuracies, starts off on n new track on the
subject Of Legislative reform: 1t states that the
cost of the different Legislatures from 1855 to
1852, will probably foot up $35,310. 1t cannot
be denied that this is a large sum to be paid by
a small government for such a small amount of
good as has been accomplished so far. The Haze
goes on to say that the Legislature. (the lower
House intended) wastes a great deal of time about
nothing ; that most Of the members are those
who have the least real interest in the country,
and have no regard for economy in the govern
ment expenses, or for the good of the majority,
but only for their own individual benefit. 1t
winds up by recommending that the Constitution
be amended, 80 that each Representative shall
receive no more than 800 for the session, or So
per day for thirty days that the number be re-
duced from twenty-seven to fifteen or twenty
members at most and that a property quali6ca-
ton be required, in order to keep out people who
get elected merely for the sake of the pay.
Now we would suggest to the Haze to go on
with its reform efforts, and state to the world
what the Department of Public instruction has
cost for the past three years. If we are not mis-
taken, there is an admirable field for the display
of its reformatory spirit. The public generally
believe that the sum of $l25 900 has been spent
for various purposes by the Department during
the past three years alluded to. This is a very
big sum compared with $35 900. Now won't
the Haze tell the public whether the same service
cannot be done for half that amount with more
practical good? We merely hint these import
ant topics for its discussion, and hope that
it will not fail to throw some light on them
before it gets rid of its newly-developed reform
theory.
But really, our readers will be amused to learn
the cause of the Hae's outburst of patriotism.
1t is said to be attributed solely to the fact that
the Honorable Representatives have, by their ac-
ton, declared that paper a nuisance, and refused
any longer to receive and pay for it. No wonder
that the Haze should now come out so fercely
against the honossbles, and recommend that their
number be reduced to . little more than a unit.
and their pay to what would mot buy their poi
and feh.
