The House of Commons has decided by a
majority of 1S2 to II against the Government
that the statue of sir Robert Peel.should be re-
moved from the bad eminence in which it
stands in Palace Yard, and be either hurled or
melted. While the Legislature is in this happy
vein, says the Pail Mall Gazette, would it not
be possible to consign the Duke of Wellngton's
hideous efigy at Hyde Park corner also to the
grave or the melting pot, and to remove the
weeping statue of Lord Herbert, with its dis
couraging bas- reliefs, from the War Office to
Netley Hospital, placing in its stead, say,
full length of Sir John Pakington as Britannia
ruling the waves, or as the Abyssinian Mars.
The Emperor of the French is giving
serious consideration to the question of the

BALTIMORE July IA. - William Pinckney
Wbyte, who is appointed United States Senator
in Reverdy Johnson's place, left for Washing
ton this morning, to present his credentials and
take his seat. Though MIR. Swami has gotten
him off the track as an opponent for the candi-
date of the Third Congressional District, yet he
is likely to have stronger opposition in RooertJ.
Brent, whom the Democrats are insisting upon to
accept the nomination. Though Swami has loug
turned traitor to the party that made him all he
is politically, thereby defeating the Republicans
in Maryland, and turning the State into the
hands of the Democrats, yet they will not trust
him. Even Pinckney Whyte's friends say they
will not be dragooned to vote for Swami, not
withstanding he compliments their favorite
with the Senatorship. Swann's late Philadelphia
spec ch is laughed at here.
The Reverdy johnson banquet tomorrow
promises much interest and magniicence.
This is the hottest day of the season. The
thermometer is now SO and rising.

pIscusslon Of tho Budget.

In the French legislative body on the lst inst,
the dtc cussIon on the budget was resumed. NJ.
Thiers made a speech in which he severely
criticised the financial position and policy of
the Imperial government. The existing embar-
easements, he said, had arisen from expenditure
beng voted without securing corresponding re-
sources upon which to fall back. Tue post on
OF political affa Is had also exeIted au influence.
The Amy and navy estimates ought to be voted
not for the purpose OF intervention but IN
oIder to show Germany that France would not
tolerate fresh usurpatlons. "The present
financial management" NJ. Theirs continued,
rs unexampleo, but the true cause is the policy
that has been pursued. The Budget is SO
oeplorabIe simply because it contains the whole
OF your policy IN Italy, Germany, Mexico, Paris,
and at the elections Indeed, the Budget is
nothing but photograph of your policy, and
therefore it could only be altered, not by the
Committee on the Budget, bat by a Committee
on he Address, replying to the speech from the
Throne at the opening of each session, and
telling the truth every year to the head of the
Stale. Telling the truth may shake Govern
ments, but Withholding it destroys them"
