GIL W. Hope wtOtild always be found at the -bottom of the poll. (Cheers.) Adverting next to the labours of the past session, Mr. Osborne remarked that it almost required .the c -institution of Old Parr and the patience' of -Job to go through the logis• Intim of the dog-days, and especially of such dogdays h.S She last. For an official supporter of the Government there was no rest. He was called upon in the flay to make rehouse, and in the evening to lieep °Life What with the late hours and the bad odoureeSind thdsis universal geniuees who promoted the one and prolonged the other, who spoke on all tubjetctlee fatigued an listensrs, and impeded all be4eae-a very. lucky member of Parlia..ment,who•could stand before his constituents at the • end of the session with the hilarity and the physical 'strsngth_ 'Which heleeweenjoyea. The Conservative leader in the Commons, in one of those oracular Seaton-See' tlf Usewhicile were more remarkable for ' their gertgireiky• .conception thin for the aeon• ilicy of turfatneut,: told the country that the Thttlitici'srtAijEilt4in the late dissolution was simply '•-teri` evalefaSet StStert"sllow would that prediction hear " 'Mint` 4e6 theizesults ? The late session, • tpto►rots t 3 thsted.lority for three months, saw the accomplishment of more work than had been -seielliehredsby:stleyllbrmer Parliament that ever sat in Westniitistree' Among the measures which then is passed utter law, most of which were far more useful • thtra sheiwy, were the reform of abuses in the Eecleiriartticalz Courts springing from their testamentary eejatSsdiction : next the Fraudulent Tiustses Act, s. rand the act for the Winding-up of Insolvent JointStock Companies, both of which were of first-rate importance to the commercial community ; then the abolition of Ministers' Money, which, though it only applied. to Ireland, had swept away a more obnoxious and more irritating injustice than even . chuich-ra'es ; and last in his catalogue—which it would weary them to lengthen further—came the celebrated Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, with the wise and salutary provisions, and/ let him add, the great social importance of which they must all be familiar, and the obstinate and protracted hostility t since the dgi:uctes to which 11 not Lean equalled gentleman ne the: the Corn-laws. (sear.) The hon, glanced at the private . business transacted thneELaesgislature, singling cut 'for especial reference the si tNV ay Bill, in which his constituents were ptatieetnuotly infterlesdted. . Arriving .at the all-engrossing notp tingle,° Indian affairs he asked—What ear does . eart dots not throb at the recital of the muel fate + men killed, not defence of their country, but stiaesinated in cold blood by those whom they formolly led tominta..ryl What family in this laud has not to mourn the loss of some laved else murdered in this sal outbreak ? When I look to my friend, your chairman I cannot fell to te collect that one of the first victims to this revolt or it is uo lOrter a mere mutiny—ins Col. Fionfi,'Of the 11th Bengal Inf., ntry, who while expostulating with his men was suddenly shot down; not, I are happy to say, by Vie' soldiers of his own corps, but by men of the 20th N. 1., who had been instigated to rebel. But what am I tOsay of the unheard-of atrocities, . the diabolical tortures to which our ill-staried to.:. countrywomen were subjected ? I cennot tru t riityp„ self to dilate on such horrible scenes. The Sepoy s karekeeted bieuself.from all restraint, and, not cpntent with tl.roeine off his allegiance to his flag, has cast wide his affinTties to human nature. • "'The. sole joy the spirit knows In his forced Bight is patirdelini; et he goes." Let us on this occasion, I pray, HaVe no Nee sentimen'ality—no mawkish, maudlin' bilanthrck. Let us have no nt about mercy to the miscreant • who have not only imbrued their hands in the blood
