ProRo CATION or Parliament. (.


ProFogatton Of Parliament,
The English Parliament was prorogued on
The 9lst OF July. With the session that ended
on that day the Parliamentary Constitution of
1857 expired also, and the new House of Com
mons will be elected by different constituencies
trOm those which elected all that have gone be-
iore. The Tunes remarks that las the reg1stra-
tioa has not yet begun the Government is con.
venucnally entitled to assume that the new
constituencies will return majority of its sup
porters."
But nobody seriously believes this, and while
1t would not have been possible at any time
during the late session to have procured the
passage OF a vote OF want of confidence, such
vote will undoubtedly pass early in the next
session. The session just ended was a stirring
one, and the Congress at Washington did not
surpass 1t in the ready imputatlon of un worthy
motives and the undignihed behavior OF not too
sCrupulous politicians. The retirement OF Lord
Derby occurred within few DAYS after the OPEN
ing OF the season, and Mr., Disrae was rewarded
with the place for which he had long and 80 zeat
Not having the affection, much less the will
ing obedience, OF his own party though he had
long managed them through such an instrument
as Lord Derby, when Mr.. Disraeh TOOK the reins
in his own hands he found the car OF state
striking against obstacles that rendered 1t very
unpleasant Tor the passengers who had booked
themselves by that line, and, most OF all, tor the
driver. His repuati on for parliamentary adrotJ.
ness has suffered, and frequent disaster tollO we'd
In the track of long coveted power. Without a
policy; except the policy OF No Policy Mr.
Disrael1 has illustrated how willy aud success
tui politician may become a blunderlng aud un-
fortunate statesman.
Pubic Opinion of the Queens Speech
The London journals crIcise the Queen
speech on protogatiou OF Parliament.
The Telegraph says it is unusually well
written.
The London Ne,os says that the Queen is
made TO talk Distaelism, and discovers some-
thing unconstitutional III the alus on to he
Irish Church question. Tue people have not to
decide, as It is made to say, whether civil and
religious freedom shall remain unimpared
The question is, Shall the past monuments and
vestiRes of the civil inteIIorlty OF the Irish
nation, and of the ecclesla,tIcal ascendancy of
a scanty minority, be swept way, aud civil and
religious freedom receive its tull development in
Ireland
The London Herald feels assured that the
people will respond 10 the royal aspiration aud
signify their will that those institutions which
are the guarantees of our civil ana religious
liberty shall be maintained uuimpaiIed ed and not
sacrificed for the eratl1callon OF party interests
and individual dn. biton.
The London Times remarks that the cougratu-
1atory reference to Ireland can ouly be salts
factory as the prelude 10 resolute attempt to
root out the cause of Irlsh discomfort. In the
paragraph alluolng to the Irish Church the
Times discovers AL attempt 10 denote the W6y in
which the new electors should use their po Wer;
but Mr.. DisTaelis phrases eau exercise no greater
influence because he has embodied them in
royal message.
Premier DisraeIi on the Situation.
MIR. Disraeli, First Lord of the Treasury, and
entertained at banquet, July 81, by the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayotess, at the Mansion
House, London. The company present num-
bered about two hundred among whom were.-
The Chancellor OF the EXchequer, the Duke OF
Buckingham and Chandos Lord Stanley, sir
John pakngton, Sir stafford Northco.e, Lord
p, MIR. Adderley, NJ p, tue Lord Advocate, the
AtoTney-Generai, etc.
Mr.. Dlsraeli, who was received with loud aud
continued cheering, said:-
w inTpipn relations
cause Tor anxiety. Indeed, there is little to oe
said upon that subject; and the external rela-
tioDs of England are never in Secure- or more
salutaIy state than when there Is very little TO
be said upon them. At the present moment we
have no controversy of any kind with any Euro
pean power tcheers), and with regard to those
subjects OF misunderst taDding which have been
so much exaggerated and 20 much dwet upon
by our Transatlantic brethren, every week, l
may say every day, brings us to better under
standing upon all those questions; and | am
sure their solution, which | believe is near at
hand, IN every respect is only what may be ex-
pected from the mutual good sense and good
cloud .cheers.) Well, my Lord Mayor,
if we look at the state of Ireland, l think 1t
is one that ought to afford US the utmost con-
gratulation. (Cheers.) The state OF Ireland is
one of complete tranquility; indeed, no ncDn.
siderable period has now elapsed since her
Najesty's Government have felt any necessity
for ayailng themselves OF those provisions in
the Habeas Corpus Suspension act to which
we at a moment of extreme difficulty felt our
selves like our predecessors, Obliged to trust
(Oheers.) The fact proves that the state
of the country, instead OF being a source
of disquietude, is now, after all that has oc-
CURED, one OF congratuat,on. (Cheers.O Well,
1 think, therefore, i may say, at least, that,
looking to our domestic posiuon and our foreign
relationship the condition OF Ireland partcu-
laIly, with respect TO our domestic condition
looking to the prospect we have of prolific
harvest and considering that the increase OF
the wealth. not only OF England, but of the
world generally, will give stimulus to our
commerce and industry, the position of this
country is one which ought not to cause US dis
quietude OF discomfort (Cheers.)
