SPIRIT OF THE PRES. TnM tiMf;s"ANDfHE Thbt-fcan bent) doubt but th1[ thf ?'<'Mf<! wit! bfactit by defying or pre venting the repeal of paper duty. This may not be apparent to the general public, but to the initiated—those who are pracficatty rersed in the management or editing of animus of the YVMgs on this matter can admit of bnt one intHpretation, viz., that ti)e Intfrestsof that journal are not in nni'on with the aho)i'ion of the duty on paper. Thst journat, of course, has a reason for itsiukewarm and advoeMV of the cepca). "It is, says the K'KM, a personal question, and we must be modest, even though we have no intention of pocketing the proceeds of the repeal." Of course it ia a personal question; but in a different sense from tint indicated. When Mr. \Vfig[ey,the paper maker. was invited to writf in its coiumns those elaborate letters oil the great problem (to wh)c!i uo answer was permitted) we saw at once that the who)e aSair IVai a personal oae; and when tha r<MM of a recent date threw out the hint that. the Lords cUiÍht tooppose the bit!, onr suspicious that the rt:p3.ii of the duty was with the Z'tMM a purdy qnesnoa were confirmed. We wilt try to make Um as obvious to our readers as it is to us. la London of tWI) penny papers of great ttierit. They are published dai)y, an'l in fulness of ue\\3 and force of writing are it every way equal to the teadicg jouruiJ. C.n: it bo wondered at that these sheets are teUmi{ on the Is it stran'.e that the conductors of the should feel that with free paper the power of its rivais wHt greatty inercasc? Already have the London penny d¡¡ihe ptucked laurds from the brow of the TilJl£s. They fqual the great jour- nal in its own Uclds of usetuiness indeed, in some of the more valuable accessories of journalism they surpass it. Thsse penny papers have over aud over again beaten the Ti.mes by the'r activity and energy. Thty have ottfu elaborate reports of important country mee,iu8 a day or two before the so-called leading jouraat. If we mistake not, one of the London penny papers took the lead at the late meeting of the British Association at Aberdeen, and by means of expresses gave atl the business a day earlkr than the Times The repetition of such energy for a few years must either bring the Times" down to the penny level, or raise the pjper in question to the )evel of the Time' But these eight.page penny papers are in every way equally well furnished with literary material aa the Times." Foreign news, city artitles, law reports, parliamentary Intelligence. leading articles, musical no- tices theatrical criticisms, are all to be fcn.td in great force in the penny dailies. No won'.)er then thitt the high- nriced Times" is beginning to feel the pains of a coming newspaper revolution, which, for & time, however it ends, must cause the leading journal very great annoyance, and may ultimately knock from its pedestal this god ot the English people. Another phase of tile question is, that tba Times" is no longer an authority in the provinces. The electric telegraph,feeding the B.ral;iner or the Scot,man, nullities its services in Edinburgh and Manches. ter, whilst the same iniuenee dashes the ground from it feet in Liverpool and ail the strongholds of its former greatness know it. no logger. An inteiflgent Edinburgh news-ageut informs us that b:s little suppty of the Time, by express train, is dwindling away, so that ia a tew weeks more he wtH not be able to continue his parcel. The case here is but a type of what is taking p)ace where. The great fact ot the whole is that the Times" is being snuffed out by the penny dailies; no wonder there- fore, that its conductors are inimical to the repeal of the paper duty. Having so frequently argued on the general question of the repeal of the duty, we do not rpquire to go again over that ground; and of the new phase which the question has assumed by the unconstitutiona) opposition of the House of Lords, we can only say, with the great mass of the people, that we wish our hereditary leislùtor,¡ a safe delivery out of their J1rii<1IJ. THE LoHM AND THE PApEn DuTY.—Violent collis- ions may be unpleasant. and undesirable, but without some friction we gut neither light nor heat, and we re- joice to see our venerable Peers come out with matches tinder box, Hint, and &tec), and do their part towards converting the paper question into a cheerful blaze. Hereditary wisdom is apt to grow rusty in repose, and there was nothing so likely tj give it an effectual airing as a revival of the good oid discussions about the privil- eges ot the Commons, and tho functions of supply. The people have aiwiiya beea and must be gaiu'jrs by such dispute! and. therefore, at the outset, we thank the Lords" f-T bringing ao good a quarrel upon the scene. Tha habit of discussing alt questions in newspapers necessarily involves a tranter of power, and reduces the legislature more and more to a machine for executing the national eommMids but this M a movement of orderly growth and development, and can only occasion aiarm to those who desire to do something contrary to the general good. It is in vain to expect th?t any institu- tions cau escape moditication as society progresses, and if the Lords make a nght for privilege, the community will be driven in self-defence to examine their ciaims and a?k what they do in return for protection ia a semi-feudal posi'tun, the retention of which not been permitted to the aristocracy of any other civifizsd and free country. It wili be imprudent for peers to reckon upon the continuance of poputar apathy, or the lamenta- hie dttHciency of talent and patriotism in the Home of Commons. There are under currents of opin: ion constantly undermining old ideas, and preparing the place for new thoughts which grow silently like [he seed-) which the farmer sow?. We m-ty be some vears from the next pe'iod of agitation, or on)y removed from it by days or hour?, but we may bo sure that tho state of quiescence is on)y transient; the c haracter of our people remains the same. and they will after a certain amount of rest, rouse themselves as of o'd to make the poiiticJ aod social world more conformable to the best patterns that they can conceive.—77<c Leader. Tn!TiMBs" UNt.lKD:-Th9 pretences which the Timea" sets up to lofty disintereatedness iti this matter o! the paper duty, is sheer impudence and imposture, as we wit! undertake to prove. Its undisguised advocacy of the tax is prompted by the coarsest regard for its own interests. The truth is that the monopoly it once en- joyed has been rudely shaken by the progress which has been made towards untaxed literature, and that the re. peal of the paper duty woutu whotty destroy it. In apita of Its assertion that atl previous changes have been ad- vantageous to its interests, it has iouod a dangerous competitor in the cheap press, which has now taken per. manent rent both in London and the provinces. We defy the Times" to tell us what its circulation was in the north of England—and, and we might add, in the south too—five years ago, and what it is now. If its agents were required to whisper a few secrets In the ears of a parliamentary committee, they coutd no doubt suppty some curious informatiou as to the mutability of the leading journal," and enable us to comprehend without any dit8ou)ty its reluctance to encounter the se- verer competition which would be sure to follow the re- peal of the paper duty. We declare, from positive knowledge, that the repeal of the paper dnty, so far from putting .630,000 a year into the pocketa of its pro. prietora, woutd subject them to an enormous loss. To make the case clear, we will trouble our readers with a feW Sgurea. We promise aa a fact of which Mr Walter is no doubt weit aware, that if the paper duty is repeal- ed, the price of the Times" must be reduced. The bnyer ?eta it now for fourpence. and with papers of the same size and not unequal abitity m the market at a penny, the amaUest reduction that can ssaure it against competition must be from fourpence to threepenc: and it may well be questioned whether even threepence would serve as a permanent bulwark against the en- croachments of a press whtch offers the same quantity of news at one-third the price. How, then, ou this sup- position, do matters stand ? Taking the year round, the Times" gives a supplement of six pages, making, with its ordinary news-sheet, fourteen pages. The cost of the paper, at its present price and quality, is JB9 9s. lOd. for every thousand copies, or a trine over 2¡ 1 ppr copy. The papers are supped to the newsagents at 2td per copy, which givea JE11 10s 7d per tuousand, Ie ving a sur- plus on every thousand above the cost of paper of .£:3 9s 91; or say .S2 10s Od. This, on a circulation of .50,000—it is probably not so large—amounts to jE12o a day, or j639,15() a year. Now, assuming the tix to be repealed, and paper procurable at a reduction of 25 per cent. the cost of 1,000 copies would be .E7 2s 4s instead cf £9 9s lOd. But if the selting price were reduced from fourpence to threepence, the proprietors would get from the newsagents JE7 16s 31 for every 1,000 copies, instead of JEll 19s 7d and the surplus above thf cost of paper wou:d be in round numbers t4a. instead of j62 9s 9). This would give on the circulation assumed above a pr'in.t of &35 daUy, or of .E30,9.;5 a. venr iaateaJ of t39,150; that is, tho Times," instead of gniniag by the repeit of the paper duty, would be compelted Bzaminer.. LoRD MoNTEAOLE.—Does the K'ght Hon. Thomas Spring Rice, now cue of the smdtler peers of the British Senate, dream of once again taking part in the direct administration of affairs ? When m ouiee, he planned one job, by which s,ime hundreds of thousands of the funds of the St"to were expended not less for the benefit of private individuals than tor the advantage of the put) lie. After having pitchforked him into the House of Lords, the Government of the day committed a further a,;grejsio)i by aupcrannuat.ing Sir John Newport from the Comptrotlership of the Exchequer—n semi-sinecure wonh two thoujand a year-and placing the newly- uedgod peer into the situation. The country was thus put to the additional coat of the saiary of the previous holder of the place as well as that of the new incmnbent, but the expenee did not end there. A few years after, Baron Monteag)e became comptroller, and a gigantic fraud was discovered by which one of the clerks had been permitted to rob the country out of nearly half a million. No such flagrant act could have been perpet- rated under the management of Sir John Newport SmIth, as it appeared on the trial, found it a matter of easy accomplishment to deceive the lordty comptroller, and get Exchequer bitis signed which, instead of uiing for the pub!ic, he put to his own private use.

Nearly twenty years have passed since Beaumont Smith wai sentenced to transportation for life ior the forgeries of E chequer bills, as the indictment had it: and since that date the Baron of Uraadon has kept as quiet as many other small men of the Commons, like the gun-boats of the Admir alty, who have been laid up in the dry.dock of th House of Lords.- Norgloffn Daily Whig.

THE INSURRECTION IN StCILY. I The narrative of events communicated by the Government of the Two Sicilies to the Diplomatic Body is as follows :-MAY 9, I860—"From the 28t.h of April the concentration became evident of Italian emigrants in Genoa (especially Sicilians), of Lombards, L'iedmontese, Romagnoli, and Tus- cans, of notorious political L exaltation,' and more remarkably stil), of that crowd of volunteers of whom in the last war Garibaldi formed the corps of the Chiisseurs of the Alps. who were afterwards distributed among the regular forces, and who, as we are assured, were recently and expressly dismis- sed the service. This multitude poured onwards by sea and by railway, where, according to a report which up to the present time has not been contested they had absolute liberty of traveliing and absolute exemption from payment. Garibaldi, who wns known to bo In Genoa, and who at times became invlsibte and impossible to be found, at last fixed bis residence in the Palazzo Passano, at Quarto, and here in numerous bodies came together and were I concentrated continually, not only the new arrivals, but those numerous Genoese whom antecedent facts the shooting societies, and other circumstances, pointed out as ultra-Liberals. This concourse awak. ened general attention and apprehension, except on the part of the Government, which did not show itself in the slightest decree anected. While the I intention of effecting an armed landing in Sicily to foment the revolution wa-) notriously declared by public placards, by public subscriptions, theatrical representations, and other means, open to all, in broad daylight and without any concealment, arms and ammunition were taken to the Palazza Pass:mo, which was thus converted into an arsenal. Arms and munitions of war freely circulated afterwards through the city, not belonging to any military de- partment nor to the ordnance; in this way and oth* ers giving publicity to the preparations against Sicily. The departure of the expedition was fre- quently put oft; It was announced that it would be concentrated in Malta on the arrival of the 5th of May. On the afternoon of that day, 100 armed persons (leaving in two barks the Interior of the west arm of the port, every access to which is guar' ded by seatiuel:s), went on board the commercial Sardinian steamers Piedmonte and Lombardo (of the company of Kubattini—that is, the same to whom the Cagllari belonged). The nrst of timse steamers bad arrived the day before from Tunia, the other was not to leave until the 9th for the Italian line. Notwithstanding, both were found full ot combustibles, and probably amply provided with eatables. The captains were absent, and cer- tainly the mauhinist of one, perhaps the Pied monte. Giuseppc Orlando, an emigrant from Palermo, part proprietor of a foundry in Genoa, took his place. Without being impeded either by the guardship of the port, or by the Sardinian vessels of war, or by a Spanish ship of war, or by two French steamers which were, there or by the maritime arsenal, or in fine. by the land battery, the aggressors lighted the fires in the stovea of one of the two vessels, wai- ted patiently till the steam rose and had strength sufEcient to give motion to the wheels (operations which, at the least, require an hour), and, taking the other in tow, left the port and anchored at scarcely a gunshot from the military barracks of the Foce. Here they waited for numerous marine stores and a considerable crowd of volunteers, enlarged by the addition of the curious. The embarkation began under the direction and presidency of Gariba!di, those who were leaving following one anocber for the most part ill the carriages, and accompanied by friends, who cheered them. The embarkation, which was in part enected from the port, was not com- pleted before sunset, and this circumstance, atlect- ing a seizure of the steamers, proves beyond doubt that it was done by daylight. It Is reported that in moving away from the Foce, which happened about six o'clock, one of the steamers took In tow a I Greek sailing vessel, made, like the steamers, an arsenal for the service of those inhabitants of Sicily who should follow the impulse. In the course of the night of the 4th, Garibaldi embarked in a tauncb, and passed with others on board the steamers to make an inspection. Considerable and numerous pack- ages, containing arms certainly and ammunition, followed the same direction. It is asserted, more- over, that in the same way were embarked si x riiled cannon, got together from the banks of .Nervi. By daylight the steamers were seen towards the east coast, and it Is believed that they stopped at various places to communicate with the land. In his state- ment, the captain of the Amalfi, bearing the royal nag, declared that he had seen them leave the Gulf of Spezia distinctly between six and seven o'clock. full of people. Among the persons on board were pilots of three merchant vessels, Palermitans, who deserted on the Jth for Genoa. All the inhabitants of Genoa might have been eyewitnesses of these facts," GARIBALDI IN SICILY. I ihe Duke de Grauimont Is expected to arrive here this evening.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, j nomE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. ) The Lord Chancellor took hia seat on the woolsack at t B.Y6 O'clock. ) THE REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY. ) I No debate which has taken place in the House of Peers for years has created such interest and even ex- citement as that on the motion for the second reading of the bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duty. Crowds nlled the central ball, and lined the whole way to the entrance of the House, long before the hour at which the proceed- ings were to commence. When the Lord Chancellor took his seat the number of Peers In the House was small, but there was already a brilliant assemblage of ladies in the galleries at the upper end near the Throne, while at the lower end several members of the House of Com- mons were present and others quickly followed. Amongst the members of the Lower House, in the gallery, were Mr Baines, Mr Gregory. Mr Headlam, Mr M Milnea, Mr Rich, Mr Walter. Mr Ingram, Lord R Montague, Mr Ricardo, Mr O'DoMghue, Mr Meunessy, &c. The House soon began to nt), aud the space in front of the Throne became densely crowded. Amongst the gentle- men there present were Mr Walpole, Mr Whiteaide, Sir H. Wil!"ughby, Mr A Herbert, Mr Monaell, &c. Mean- time, the stranger's gallery had been thrown open, and every available place at once secured. Mr Datlas, the American Minister, with some ladies of his family, was in the side gallery. Lord Monteagle occupied a seat be- lov the gangway on the Ministerial side, and Earl Grey tock a place close beside him. Just as the proceedings were about to commence Lord Derby crossed the iioor, and spoke for a few moments with Lord Monteagle. It was manifest from the first that Lord Lyndburst would take part in the debate, for in front of his seat a small railing had been nxed on which the noble and learned lord might lean while addressing the Rouse. Meanwhile, the hum of voices arose on every side, and made it dimcult to catch what was said by noble lords who pre- sented petitions. Earl Granvillo opened the debate by moving the sec. ond reading of the Bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duties. The noble Earl commenced his speech by a de- tailed history of the paper duty, and after referring to the superior and cheaper quality of the paper manufac- tured in America, and even in Japan, he contended that the existence of the tax alone prevented England, with her superior mechanical arrangementa, producing cheap. er paper than was produced In the East. As to the charge of improvidence against the Government, they were pre. pared to abide by the financial arrangements they had made. They had calculated on a surplus at the end of the year, and they felt no hesitation in proposing the remission of the duty under discussion. His lordship contended that Lord Derby's statements were not to he relied on. He had the smallest knowledge of finance, all his prophecies on the subject had failed, and he could not even recollect the facts connected with the budget of his own Chancellor of the Exchequer. Finally, Lord Granville argued the opposition was not in accordance with the spirit of. the constitution. It was not a wise course either for their lordships or the country, and he urged upon the tiou-30 to consider the consequences of persisting in their opposition to the bill. Lord Lynd- hurat followed the noble earl, and laid down the law" on the regulations which bound the proceedings of the Lords and Commons. The Lords, he contended, had no right to originate nor to amend money bills; but by the consent of the Commons themselves, they had a perfect ri!{ht to reject them, and that right they had exer. cised in several cases which his lordship quoted. Lord Monte&gle, in moving that the bill be read that day six months, bitterly inveighed against the nmneiat measures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by which, he said, it was surreptitiously sought to substitute a direct for an Indirect mode of taxation. The noble lord highly dis- approved uf these changes, which left the Government no optio't but a resort to the Income-tax In the time of a crisis. Lord DuSeriu and the Marquis of Clanricarde supported the hilt. The Duka of Rutland opposed it. Lurd Cranworth met the arguments of Lord Lyndhurst, and contended that the unprecedented exercise of the privilege of the Lords would involve the house in setious oimcul'.ies. The Duke of Argylo followed, and Lord Derby then spoke on the opposition side. Earl Craa. vilte having brieny replied, their lordships divided- Contents—present, 90; proxies. 14. 104 Non-coutents—present, 161; proxies, 38 193 1 Majority agamst the bill. 8'J The bill was consequently !<Mt.

I Lord Jdhn Russell, in reply to a question, said he was not in a positiun to state th'j views of other Powers with reference to the Sieiiian insurrection'; bathe did not be lieve that any Power intended to oppose it, and he was informed that the Austriin ships in Neapolitan waters were intended for the protection of Austrian subjects.

GEOKOB'S.IN-THE-EAST I Viscount Dungannon called attention to the continued disturbances taking place on each succeeding Sunday in the chun-h of St. GHorge's-ia-tbe-Eist, and moved a tcsoiutiou to the t.SF.-et th-)t sufncient power ftnd energy had not been displayed in putting down the same and I)rir.-inap its perpetrators to justice. The uob!e lord said J that'howercr disgraceful these riota mi¡!ht be, or how- ever culpably injudicious the conduct of Mr Bryan King might also be, it could not for a moment be supposed that they were CaUge(i by Mf Bryau Kind's congregation for on the contrary they were created by disorderly and reek* leis persons, intent solely on mischief. He maintained that the police might have put down these riotti long ago had they Mted firmly and energetically; and a:serted that if they had occurred in a Dissenting chapel, a Mormonite meeting house, or even in a theatre, the strong arm of the law would soon have quelled them. The consequence of thes" outbreaks occurring uncon- trolled must. be to produce a bad example over the whole country, a:id people would think themselves entitled to get up a disturbance wherever they chose. The fact was, that this state of things had arrived at such a pitch as to demand interference; and if the ordina'y had not power some fresh enactment ought to be passed. Ten or a dozen determined constables would soon, if property directed, put an end to the whole anair. Ho hoped her Majesty's Government would realty seriously give their attention to this subnet, with a view 10 its settlement. If not cheeked, < xp irience showed that from contagion it would spread «ith alarming rapidity. Earl Gra iviHe coutd not agree with the noble lord that it was ao casy a matter to put down these riots. In a theatre it, was a tangible nutter, but in a church it was vastly different. As he was informed a large portion of the congregation did not belong to the pariah, and that made the master more diNcuIt. s:ill. The police, he could as- sure the noMo lord, bad not been inactive, bat the dif- ficulty was to net any one to cht-rgo the oSdnders, an d even when that wis done nearly every case had been discharged. Her Majesty's Government would do every- thing in their power to prevent a recurrence of the riota in future. Lord Wensleydale alluded to the statute of Mary aa fully apptying to every species of offence against the peace of public worship. After a few words iu explanation fro m Earl Gran- ville, The Earl of Wieklow stigmatised the nets as a dia- grace in a pretendedly civilised country. The police, it was evident, bad not done their duty the magistrates had nearly always fined the parties who endeavoured to defend Mr King (when attacked by bis assaulters), while on the other hand the offenders hid been let off. Mr King stated that the whole of the disturbances had been caused by the introduction of Mr Hugh Alien, who, be it re- membered, was an intimate friend of Mr Spurgeou, and a leading supporter of his new tabernacle, various other heinous charges had also been made against him and he did hope that the Bishop of London would give some explanation of the circumstances of his having given a license to Mr AHon. The Bishop of London requested the noble Earl to read the preÎie word-! from Mr Kmg's letter. Earl Granville deprecated the continuance of the con- versation. It was improper thus to impugn the charac- ter of & clergyman on auoh unsatit--fact(iry evidence. Lord Chelmsford was entering int.* the main question, when The Duke of Newcastle rose to order. The Bishop of London, while eschewing the directly personal charges made by Mr B Ring against Mr Alien, proceeded to state that the law, in relation to afternoon lecturers, made the sanction of the rector a condition of the bishop's giviug him a license. Whatever the charges made, Mr Ailen had fulty rebutted them by the testi- mony of throe bcnchced clergymen near him, who bore ample evidence to the purity of his spiritual and the purity of his moral character. What could he (the Bishop of London) do? (Hear, hear.) Of course, appoint him. He was considered a most zealous and conscientious clergyman; and certain it was he had the wonderful faculty of collecting crowds to hear his xealotts preach- ma; of the Gospel. But reaily this did not involve the question. Had the chunihwardens of St. Georgo's.m- the-Eaat done their duty ? Of that he would pronounce no opinion. All he could say was, that he (the Bishop of London) had offered them every asiistance in his power. He believed that, in this miserable wrangle, both parties were to blotco; but, if each party atood on their strict legal rights, nothing would ever be done to- wards harmony. If both parties would submit to his arbitration, iutly and unrese vedty, he entertained uo doubt whatever that as he could have done, so he could stilt, arrange it satisfactorily. Tt)e Lord Chancellor htated the grounds which had di- rected the judgment ae had given as Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench. He much deprecated the disseu- stons, MJ expressed an earnest desire that the parties involved would accede to the wish of the right reverend prelate in reference to arbitration. He thought that the motion might now be withdrawn. The Bishop of Cashel passed a high eutogima on the the character of the Rsv Hugh AUen as an earnest, imhfnl, and very useful minister. After an explanation iron the Earl ofWicMow, Eirl Stanhope said the only course to put an end to these unhappy disturbances and quiet the pariah was to accept the otfer of the bishop. He hoped the motion would not now be pressed.. Lord Chelmsford thought the question was tesa what waj the cause of the riots than how to put them down. He considered that, after the explanation, the resolution should be withdrawn. Viscount Dungannon, although he did not regret the course he had adopted, was willing to withdraw his MM' tion, feeling fally assured that very great good would arise from the diacustdon. j The motion WM then vithdMwB< HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY I TEE r?TER DUTX—THE VOTE IN THE HOPSE OP i LORDS. ) Lord Palmerston rose aud 3:nd: I rise for the purpose of moving the adjournment of the Home to Thursday, and I wish, at the same time, to give notice that it is my intention on Thursday to move that a committee be ap- pointed to examine and inspect the journals of the House of Lords in relation to any proceeding of that House upon the bil) for repealing the excise duty upon paper mado in the United Kingdom. I think it is desirable that that committee should be followed up by a commit. tee to search for precedents. It is important, I think, that the state of facts In regard to what has passed should be ascertained but her Majesty's Government disclaim any Intention of taking any step that would place the two Houses in a state of hostility. After a conversion had ta'en place on t..he ,D,.er.by Day" and some other minor matters, Mr Whalley said he had anxiousty waited in the hope that some other gentleman would put a question on a matter of great public interest. He had presented a pe- tition from Ruabon, most numerously signed, pravini( this house to take so.ne immediate measures for the pro. tection of its undoubted privileges of originating and maintaining taxation. He had also a notice on the paper in reference to this subject, and he trusted that these facts would justify him in asking a question, not- withstanding the communication which they had re- ceived about appointing a committee to search for pre- cedents. He wished to know whether that eommuntca- tion was all that the House waste hear from the Minis- terial bench in reference to the event of last mght as to the Paper Duty Bill having been rejected in another place ? If that were all they were to hear, and if the House were to wait until some forms should be gone throu'gh about precedents, be took the libetty of asking j when the House would receive such communication as the House and the country could understand with refer- ence to this unprecedented and most important step which had been taken in another place ? Sir & C Lewis said: In answer to the question of the hon. member for Peterborough (Mr Whalley) he had nothing to add at present to what had been stated by the First Lord of the Treasury. A conversation then took place on the Wine License Bill and the Saving's Bank Bill, after which Mr D Seymour said: When the hon. member for Peterb)rough put a question to the right hon gentleman (Sir G C Lewis), he got an answer which was very curt. auu Which for a moment put an end to discussion. But when the course which had been taken by the noble lord the First Miniater went forth to the country to-morrow, it would go forth as a notice for a committee to search the journals of the other Houao for Thursday, and a notice for Friday to search for precedents. The country would expect from the Treasury Bench something like an earnest of their being alive to the importance of the question. It would be open to the noble lord to move for a committee to-night. It would be well that the noble lord should state why that course was not adopted. Then to-morrow the House was going to the Derby. (Cheers and taughter.) There was a Derby-day of a dif- ferent character which he should prefer the House should be alive to to-morrow. (Ironical cheers and laughter from the Opposition.) If they were to go to the Whitsun holidays before the question which now agitated the country about the dinerence between the two Houees— (ironical laughter f.-om the Oppoaiti"n)—it was all very well fur gendemen to laugh, but he believed the question was agitating the mind of the country, and he beiieved the attention of the country was on their rcprescntativM. (Ironical cheers from the Opposition.) Tota:)y regard- less of taunts and aneera he persisted in his assertton that it was agitating the country from one end to another. Therefore ho wished to Mk the Homo Secretary, or any occupant of the Treasury Bench, whether there was any objection on the part of the Government to propose that the committee to search for precedents should be nomin- ated on Thursday ? They at) knew it was a mere matter of form. The two committees were to co-operate with the intentions of the House, aai if the House was in earnest, they could on Friday, before they adjourned for the holidays, tetl the country what they intended to do. Lord Palmerston I see no reason for departing from the course which I have already indicated.

LORD BERWICK'S HEK.D OF HEREFuRDS. Durirg the last summer wo had an opportunity of visiting the herd of Lord Berwick, at CronkhiU, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire; and in connection with Here- forlÙ, some account of it may of interest to our read. era. His lordship commenced his herd in 1844, by the purchase of fourteen or fifteen heifera at Mr Salway'd sales at Ashley- Moor, Herefordshire. The animals were of the blood of Mr T, A. Knight, of Downton Castle and since, by purchases nude from Jewries', Hewer's, and other Mood. to get points, he baa increased the value of his herd. Ho has now three Royal Society's nrat- prize bul)a, and has the reputation of drawing more Royal prizes than any other Hereford man in England. From 1819 to 1857, with a total of thirty-three animals only exhibited, and these bred by himself, he obtained twenty-seven Royal prizes and fnur High Commenda' tions." His bull Watford bore of the first prize of 1,000 francs and gold mldal at Parts in 1855, as the best but of any age or breed: while, at the same time, his Napo- leon III. won the bronze medal and high commendation, as no exhibitor was attowod to take more than one prize m this class. Walford won the Great Challenge Sweep- stakes, open to atl England, at Ludtow, in 1850; and two of his ateera won the ChaHenge Cup, open to all England. It is specialty worthy of note that thia breeder. who has attained anch sptcndid a'tccMS, founded hia en- tiru herd upon the surest basis, viz., that of a few ani- tn.Ja only, Md those ofaurpassm?excetlenee, undoubted origin, and the nearest possible blood consistent with the laws of consanguinity. This principle, faithfutly carried out, ba9 given him a herd of great uniformity, remark- able quiHty, and beauty ot appearance. Lord Berwick claims that Herefurds are the best for farmers on mo- I' derate pastures, because they will thrive better on such land than shorthorns, and will make good beef animals at two years old. Toe shorthorns he aoknowtedges have better frames, and oftentimes a better hinÙ-qUarter'l but the Herefords are better in girth, as a general thin?, and in shoulder-points. It is quite noticeable that the crops are usualty much better filled in the latter than the former breed, and their quality is, to say the least, as good. He had at the time of our visit 175 females, in- cluding calves, and about 50 malei. The preceding season he had 65 calves dropped.-New York l"ihune.

THE GARDEN. I FMWBR GARDEN.—We think bedding out may now be proceeded with, beginning with the hardier kinde. Anauals brought forward in pots, and which have not been forced and petted, will be better in the open ground. Look over Roae trues, and pick off all caterpiUHrs, and clear them from the green uy. A paint.brmh and water is a good instrument to remove the tatter, the syringe following. Mark the best Pansies for propagation by atipa or cuttings. Press the eoii round R<munou(usea as they appear above ground. Apply m-tnnre-w&ter to roses frequently. Sow Ten-week Stocks, Asters, &c., far a sucueMion. Thin out the shoots of Hollyhocks, if not done before and if Dahlias are planted out, have pro- tection ready in case of frost. KITCIIP,I GinDEN.—The abundant rains have given a wonderful impetus to vegetation, and much active la- bour will now be needed to keep down weeds, and to hoe and earth up advancing crops. Rave constant sowing of Shading, and sow Pe:n till the end of the month, Make new Rhubarb beds if needed. Sow Turnips, and plant out. Cauliflowers, Cabbages, &o, for succession. Hemove nets from walls. Plant out Tomatoes, Vege- table Marrows, and ridge Cucumbers under handlight8, or with some other protcction.-Fietd,

ORIGINAL POBTRy THE MAIDEN'S VISION OF ANGELS. WoraMp, Faith, and loving Duty Gave the maiden-child her beauty. Long she read In Holy Book, Ringlets falling o'er the pages, 'Till her soul complexion took From the young world's children Mgea. Far away the murmurous sea, Poured its constant jubilee. Calm the maiden sat and peaceful, Bright irradiations shone On that sweet young face, and blissful 'Till the joyous day was done Roses gemmed the garden round, Moasea softened every sound. Rsad she of His Majesty, Ris who wept o'er human pain, Who in strong humanity Dwelt as none could dwell again. Bird-songs made a music holy Borne on angel breezes slowly. Whilst she read in ancient story, Life seemed opened to her gaze. All the garden shone with glory, Bent serene the heaven of praise. Mystic shadows fell like garmenta, On the sleeping earth's adornments. And a finer sense of dreaming Floated fast upon the air, And like angels' wings in seeming Wrapt the reading maiden there. All the bower was filled with angels Bearing tenderest evangels. I O'er the child's soul. Love. bent gently, Spoke of Life, and the Beyond, Kist her rnddy lips so softly, t Murmured tender words and fond. The breezes kist the garden leaves, And past into their kindred waves. [ Faith, with cross upon her breast, Looking to the starry height, As the maiden lay at rest Bade her trust the God of Light. The moon above the garden treea Calmly all the vision sees. Worship, reverent kneeling prayed So the child might always pray, Living as if not afraid Of Life's solemn mystery. Soft scents wafted by the aira, Rose like holy children's prayers. Truth, in majesty of mien Stood within the maiden's sight :— Then such radiance fell sereno As the angels wear in light. From the linden fell a aota. Pure as from an angel's throat. Beauty, with a crown of gold Near the others stood in power, Bade the maiden seek t' unfold Grace in city or in bower. Sudden, voices jubilant Rose in harmonies divine; So the solemn stillness rent With gladdest praise before the shrine Celestial, Holy, seat of Him Whom they adore, And whom they hymn For evermore. Then the maiden knew that Jesus, Once himself a little child, Whom she'd read that day should ease us, And should make us undented, Sent His angels in a vision When she'd fallen into sleep; In a bright seraphic vision Thro' His tenderness so deep, Sent His angels to direct her How M tread the heavenly road Which Himself had trod before her, Which should lead her straight to God. Still the memory of those voices Lingers in the maiden's ear Still her maiden heart rejoices That the angels are so near. And she grows a saintly maiden Whom good angels ever love; Grows a wise and tender maiden Crowned with graces from above. &P Htttt

GLEANINGS. Taz STOCK IN TRADE OF A LAWYER.—The versatile lawyer, William WitHams was the eldest Mm of the Rev Hugh Williams, D.D. of Nanterog, in Angleaey, and educated at Jesus College, Oxford. He went the North Watos circuit, and gamed the reputation according to Sir Peter Leicester, of being a very acute young gentte- man. Having danced at an assize ball with a rich youmr heireM the daughter of Watkin Eyn'en, Esq.. he obttin. ed the young lady's consent to propose himaelf to her father <s a suitor; and when the old gentleman aaked roughly "What have you ?" he replied with ready botd- ness 1 have, sir, a tongue and a gown His euit prospered, and he became by his marriage, the founder of the families of Wvnnstay, and Bodleweddan, and Pen- bed w.History of the House of Co/MMO/it. PARHt.MEXTAKT ViCKsiTCDEs.—Some surprise may possibly be exuitud when it ie stated that since the com. mencemeutoftbeyear 1854, 3il gooHemen then in the House of Commons have ceased to have a share in the deliberations of that august assembly. The mutations which have occurred from time to time during the eix years in the constitution of the House have been still more numerous; but several temporarily-ejected mem- bers have succeeded in obtaining re-election in other quarters, and of these and of others who have sat in the House only a few months we have taken, proc Aac pM no account. Of the 347 centlemon no longer M P 's* 247 represented English; 11 Wetaii; 31 Scotch and oS Irish constituencies. Death, of course, has been busy during the period under review, but at least two-thirda of the changes noticed are due to hustings innuences and the inability of members to sustain the wear tnj tear—pecuniary and physics!—of Parliamentary Jiff. The desire for change appears to prevail most 8trongiy among the borough constituencies, 168 of the 247 Eng. lish variations having occurred among borough mem- bers, but as the ratio of Engtisfi boroughs to English counties is as 319 to 144, the disproportion is not, after all, !.o very great. Still county members appear to en. joy a longer tetm of Parliamentary existence, and changei in counties are not. as a rule, of so aweepins a nature M In boroughs. Thua the toHowing Enghsh boroughs, each having two members, have now who!lv different representatives as compared with 1954 Ayleabury, Birilstapte, Hath. Bevereiy. Boston, Buekin. ham, Cambtidge, Chippehham, Cockermoutb, Colchester Devonport, Uuycr, Greenwich, GuUdtbrd, Harwich' HliSting, Leeds. Leicester, Leominatcr, Maldon, Mall- chestt-r. MarytoboM. Newark, Njrthamptoo, Nottiatt. ham, Penryn and Fa'mouth, Preston, Ripon, RoohM- ter. Sandwich. Southwnrk, Sunderland, Truro, andt Windsor. One general concision whieh may be drawm from an analysis of the last sit years is, that the tYer- age duration of a Parliamentary life M about tw-, years.
