MIL DISRAELI ON THE PARLIAMENTARY SEMION. The Lord Mayor of London entertained Her Majesty's Minbters at the Mansion House on Wednesday night, Mr. Disraeli. in a clever but somewhat labourtsl speech, declared the country prosperous, the people content, and peace prevailing; adding, "in my opinion peace will prevail." Ile believed; it would be agreed affairs had been conducted with blended prudence and tirmnout. Reviewing the session, be dilated on their ditlictilturs owing to the opposition of their Liberal predecessors and would be successors, the Whine, the Italic:4ls, and the Home Reim, the Irish ntombesi being "a great harrier" In the l'arliamentary campaign. Reviewing their measures, he referred to the Labour Bills saying that now for the first time "employer and employol sit under equal laws:" and a. too the Agricultural Iloblinifs Bill he ugrol it will 'pen up a happier era to both cultivatoro and powiwssers of the soil. After a long apology for the withdrawal of the merchant Shipping Bill he conelieled by comparing the parliamentary souion to the harvest Now we hoar that the rams have been enillass and the rivers have burst their banks; now it ta that the sun is so scorching that the earth breaks into fissures. Sometimes our hay is spoilt; sometimes a violent wind paws over our crops, and leaves them prostrate and desolate. But is the time goes on the reactionary beneficensr of Providence produces very different effects. Inundations suicide, and the surface calls for gentle showers; the earth that was so hard becomes ntanageable to Use plough; the crops that were prostrate are touched by sophyr and sun, and rise again with cheerful and golden grace. Though our hay harvests may be terribly damaged, we hod compensation in our wondrous roots—(lataghter) The Parliamentary harvest is like the harvest of nature, all sorts of remarks and estinuttes and accounts MA storkes are told from February till nearly the end ..f July. Very little has been attempted, and that little leo not been done; the Opposiuon has been factious and Ministers have been }plundering ; but the time conies when the legislative harvest is garnered. and when the just and wise and intelligent people of England La& to the great result, and they say that the legislative labours of the harvest have added to the ;mutt total of national happi; ness—Cloud cheers).

The official return issued that evening, showe 1 • large increase in the coin and bullion and the swerve, and an important decrease in the other aecuriti.x. If this reduction prove as , effeetise in the restoration of credit as the seven per ' cent, rate did last week, we may expect a succesa!on of falls till the rate of interest in England has been brought to • level with the rates prevailing on the continent.

BUROLANY.-00 Wednesday evening the counting.house of Mr. Emmott's brewery was forcibly entered, and about IS.. in cash abstracted from • bog where the sales of berm were deposited. Shortly afterwards attention was attracted to moans proceeding from the garden of Mr. Frampton adjoining. and on investigation a man named Pulley, in the service of Mr. Emmotk was found on the ground there, with his ankle Ladly dislocated. He was at once taken into custody, and charged with the robbery, under the suspicion that being disturbed in the counting•hoose he escaped through • window and scaled Mr. Frampton's wall, which is IS feet in height. He has been fully committed for triaL  married two wives, and with beating the second wife. Th• proceedings that followed were truly British. Candy owned that he bad married the oottspiainant, after telling her he had got • wife living, at her urgent entreaty. There does not seem to have been any ,quesilon as ba the beating, which the complainant Pretested was severe, saying that she sins bruised from heu'l to foot. It seeing also to have been cePtinual, and that the amiable butcher elministereti it whenever, like /Ira. Clamp with her gin, " he felt so disposed." The denerentenf, however, in inexplicable. except on Police-office princlpleS pure and ample. The amend Mrs Candy informal the magistrate that she did not want to punish the butcher for marrying her while the Int Mrs. Candy was alive; all she wanted *AS A divans end AR allowance. Whereupon, when Mr. Cooke in. farmed bee that FLO di.l net need the former, and could not pa the letter, she wittiliew the charge with his permission, end the bigamist butcher and the ememmos dating second Mrs Candy walket off together from the police court. But what • ridiculous caricature of luOkle we base bore. Bigamy is either • legal mime, or an nnamieble eccentricity and a matter of persona trranitement. If Coe former, why was Mr. Candy permitted to walk off scot•free as soon as his pseudosponse withdrew the charge? If the latter, why does Dot law recognise Mennonite marriages? in truth, our Practice in respect to bigamy is very like our practice Is respect to suicide, though not perhape quite so absurdly inconsistent with our legal theory. Suicide is by law, • form of the crime of murder. Nevertheless, the usual Penalty of an attempt at this form of murder is an ad. mositon from • "worthy magistrate" not to do It s'ttio. INCRIRISSA, on the other bend, do not alwayeget off scotIre., like this Soitallields butcher ; but the infliction of the legal penalty is frequently made dependent upon the feelinm and wishes of the wives, whether the tree or the spurious one. And if, as sometimes happens, both the wives appear in oonrt and plead for mercy for the faithless one, hard indeed is the heart of the mein', Irate who wounds their eonjugal susceptibilities by coin. netting for trial at the next maims ; as if penalties were designed solely for chastising the guilty, and not also to deter others front crimes.—Pall.mali Oaselle.

James U ddleton, an iron shipbuilder, aged 43, was paying his addresses to Elise Peterson, a blooming allow of 40. On the 9th instant, having been together at Poplar church, they went to the lady's house; and he very shortly afterwards "proposed" in due form and WY ac *opted.
