urged that the Government would take the matter into their bands , and act on any report th . e Committee might make . —Mr . Masql . es said this was 3 money question , whether the expense should be borne by the parishes of the me *?™ olis or ty tne imperial Government . It was not tbe business of the Metropolis alone which was concerned , but the whole realm . Lord John Manners said that he had nothing to do with 'the Victoria sewer , but he bad received from tbe Metropolitan Board of "Works information which showed tlmt the sewer -was defective aud did not answer its intended purpose . It was stated that steps would be taken to deodorize the sewage from the
Victoria sewer . He did not think any very practical suggestion had been , made as to what-was to be done . The Government could not undertake the task which same gentlemen wished to throw upon them , as they had no power by law to do so . The matter was by law entirely in tbe hands of the Metropolitan Board of "Works . The -Government could not take on itself an expenditure the extent of which , no man could , foresee . Nevertheless , the question was occupying- the attention of the Government , and they would produce a measure this session giving powers to some body which would settle the solution of this question . Hie knew that a system of deodorization had been most successfully carried out at Leicester .
Several members having spoken , Mr . Diskaem said he thought that the discussion could not "be without profit and advantage . Although the Government was not legally liable in this , there-was a moral responsibility "upon them from which they could not skrink , and ^ their attention was seriously turned to the matter , and lie believed that the time had come for action—and it was necessary to consider whether some additional powers ought not to be given to the Metropolitan Board of . Works . ; to enable them to raise funds to carry out their . objects * . : " ¦ ¦ . v - , tenants' compbnsation ( ibeijusd bill , ) . Mr . P . O'Bkiem having asked a question of the Government as to their intentions with respect to Tenants ' Compensation in . Ireland , a warm personal discussion ensued between the hon . member and Mr . M'Maouike , which , was stopped by the interference of the Speaker . Tbe House then went Into Committee on the Government of Imdia Biix ,, -which chiefly oecu pied the remainder of the sitting .

It is said that the embargo laid on the Independunce Beige by General Espiuasse will be forthwith removed , and the seizures of English papers have already fallen to a very fe \ r . M . Delangle has also determined to abolish the distinction hitherto made between Government and independent journals . in regard to being sold in the streets . The sale of all will be equally permitted .

Advices received at Washington from Lieutenant Hodgers state that Lieutenant Pym , of the Jasper , had informed him that ho liad orders from the Admiralty to search for the Styx , and stop her high-handed proceed * ings , and that the Devastation -was at Hovannah for the snine purpose . Lieutenant Pym expressed the greatest surprise thnt the course of the British cruisers had cdnsed any irritation in the United States , and informed Lieutenant Rodgera that they" were acting under no new orders , but only carrying out those issued in 1849 .
The news by the Asia of the Derby Government having sent out orders to the West India fleet to Btop tlio visits to American vessels has created a favourable impression in New York , and the difficulty was considered nt an end .

There is nothing so revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and convulsive , a 3 the scram to keep things fixed when allthe vrorld ia by they ery law of its creationin eternal progress . —Db . A . kkom >
Lock, And Society Is Perfectly Lost Iu T...
lock , and society is perfectly lost iu the one work of lavishing smiling sarcasms on its own apathy and paasiveness . Nothing can be done ' abroad or at home except to yield to circumstances , the circumstances sometimes being of the worst . In Xondon , for example , we have the Thames miaanna ; in Belgravia they have a " confessional" and a Baring ; in Paris , they have the Conference pretending to confer ,- \ yliile . reselling every substantial point ; and if we have the Thames here , there have they not the Imperial Court ? If
' ¦ ' ¦ ; ¦ ¦ + " ¦ ' ' ¦ . . . ¦ - THE SLUMBER O ¥ POLITICS—AND THE AWAXING ! Everything except the pestilential energy of the Thames seems to have come to a
deadat home Toryism is dead , a Keform Bill has grown to be a nightmare joke , the measure threatening to come from all quarters , but never coming . On the Continent , bureaucracy is rampant . All is dead . , Nothing to be done in commerce . Nothing to be done in politics . Nothing ; in foreign policy , except to squabble first and concede afterwards . Such a , state of tilings cannot last , and the question is , what will be the next form of general action ?
We are not among the despondent , least of all have We of the Leader cause to complain . If we cared to cast up the accounts during the last seven or eight years , we might find that , upon the whole , the world had come m ore to our standard than we had conceded eyen of tlie ideal which we had set up . "When we began , ifc would have been a proof of extreme democracy to talk of abolishing the Property Qualification for Members of Parliament ; yet this session the Queen has given her assent to tbe measure during a Tory Government . One of the
8 ix points of the Charter has been carried , and if the other five have not yet been embodied in measures to be carried , they are all in actual contemplation , short only of " universal" suffrage . For every extensive circle of Liberal politicians has at last agreed that tbe suffrage , to he beneficially extended , must be coincident with rate-paying , with residence , with buTgess-ahip , with scot-andlot , or with some other form of qualification , which amounts to saying , that everybody shall have the suffrage who can point to a permanent home and its responsibilities .
Take another test . What has been our constant principle * in foreign policy ? It has been to seek the interest , and when it is possible , the j udgmont of tbe peoples as distinct from the Courts . It is true that the foreign potentates , who are propped up b y diplomacy nnd . armies , and fed upon the industry of their populations , have not adopted our principle ; but indignation at the secrecies of
diplomacy , anxiety to learn what the peoples subjected to the several Governments desire and want , readiness to investigate the facts are rapidly growing to be the principles upoii which English politicians are unitedand the movement , this session , to place the ' diplomatic service under the control of Parliament , is onl y the first step which has alarmed old-fashioned diplomatists , and shown the advance of the new school .
Turn to another ; field . Our principle has always been that , in religious matters , mankind instinctively bowed to the overruling Power of the universe ; that ideas on the subject become enlarged , and developed , and clear in proportion to the expansion of the human mind ; that the dealing with the subject in a spirit of veneration , while labouring to defend the freedom of discussion , contributes to aiake men fiud how far they are of accord , and thus to neutralize , dissipate .
and annihilate those sectarian differences which are the manufacture of ignorance and presumption . On these and other subjects , at a very early stage in our own career , we relied upon , the readiness of this country at least to accept the principle of perfect freedom of discussion . One of the earliest difficulties which we at so early a stage had to contend with was , that pur own principle almost ceased to be distinctive ; other journals soon saw the safety which we had
assumed , and proved ; and we may point at the present day to the immense enlargement which has been given to liberty of thought and expression , accompanied as it has been by a positive increase of religions feeling , and a marked tendency to substitute accord for discord . Even the latest struggles of sect are provoked to a great degree by the instinctive perception that in all " persuasions" the" Broad Church" is gaining ground ;
to the loss of sect , and to the profit of that which is the broadest church— -the all-easential soul which resides in every church . It is this improved feeling which has elevated the conflict in Belgravia above the vulgar treatment that it-would have once received , and has rebuked sect when it has professed to speak in the name of Freedom , but has resorted to unfair measures and to tricks of
party . When so much has been done , we neither wonder nor repine at a period of repose ; but in proportion to the endurance of the repose must be the action that follows it . In proportion as men have become indifferent to paltry subjects must be the readiness to receive larger questions than those which have , perhaps , during the decade now waning , busied the faculties of professed politicians .
Oull Belations With America. The Underst...
OUll BELATIONS WITH AMERICA . The understanding between this country and the United States appears to have been re-established exactly upon , its proper footing . It is perhaps inaccurate to represent it as having been effected by concessions on the part of England . Official concessions there may nave been , if our Ministers took up a position not justified b y the facts ; but a concession of any right which this country could claim or exercise has not been granted , for it has not been asked . The danger waa one entirely of what is properly called " nusunderstandinff . " and it was met
by the precisely fitting corrective , a thorough understanding of the pomt 3 at issue , with a candid disposition on both sides to let the facts themselves dictate the judgment . In glancing at the Leader ' s share in this long and variea controversy , we cannot but feel great satisfaction at the consistency of our own course with itsolf , at tho corroboration whioh we have had from tho practical results , and from tho admissions evc » i of our opponents . Throughout the whole course of our existence , during which there have been several active discussions between the Governments of England and of the United States , wo have uniformly rested upon the same principle .
