Huntington, that the House DO not enter
tain any complaint with respect to the
publication Of its proceedings, except in
cases of willful Misrepresentation, or
when the publication thereof is expressly
prohibited, and that strangers are not to
be ordered to withdraw from the ealle-
ries, unless they are disorderly or
by vote of the House. Mr.. D'Israeli op-

convenience caused by tho present me-

ing the rule permitting single member
to order their withdrawal. Mr.. Low
denounced continuance Of the ano-
mally. At this stage of the debate, Mr..
Sullivan called attention to the presence
Of strangers, and the galleries were
accordingly cleared. The debate on the
Marquis of Huntington's motion was ad-
journed till May 25.
The Standard severely criticises the
letter from Mr.. Gladstone, read Mt the
centennial celebration of the battle of
Lexington. It remarks that the habit of
toadying to Americans is discreditable in
English public men and journalists.
The results of the republican experiment
in the United States are corruption of
public life, extinction Of public spirit,
oppression of the minority, disgust of
honorable men with political life, and
the transfer of the Government into the
hands OF corrupt, unscrupulous and igno-
rant men: The Times fully endorses
Gladstones letter, and says il would be
melancholy if the first great attempt to-
complete their independence should re-
suit in social anarchy. Although there
is nothing at present to justify such
fears, grave evils exist in some American
institutions, which must bo remedied if
progress is to be kept up.
