ON Wednesday afternoon the Speaker was kept waiting fifteen minutes before enough members could be assembled to form a House ; and even when that result -vvas obtained , it was ' ' found that the right number was made tip of 1 he wrong- men ; so that , not only had the Speaker to kick his heels for a quarter of an hour , tut the business first in order on the books had to be thrown over for want of the men to conduct it . Things being come to this pass , the consummation most devoutly to be wished is , speedy prorogation . To that desirable end all the work now being , or to be , done , is made to tend . Government has asked for nil the money it will want ( ill next year , and has been supplied to almost the full extent of its asking , the sum refused being nolens than "three hundred pounds—1 he salary of Herr Mundleu , "Expert , dc la ' Galeric Nationale dc Londrcs , " whose spcchil services are , for the present at least , declined by a majority of 12 S to 130 , on the ground that they , do not iiml any satisfaction" in paying a gentleman to go about the Continent raising the price of all the pictures they have a fancy to purchase . Having arranged money matters and cleared up the most pressing work—a little hastily , perhaps—Parliament will most likely be in a condition to shut up the office about the end of the month j at all events , very early in August , work must be struck , because a lot of the partners have determined to charter a steamer for a pleasure trip to Cherbourg to meet ITeii Majj-. siy , who ' is to be at that interesting ]) lacc of reunion on the 4 th . First in Importance in tlic week ' s Parliamentary transactions bus been the progress made with the India Bill in 1 he Lords . Still tin ; course of that gre " at experimental measure is unchecked , mid still its ; prospects are as bright as Lord' Stanley , or even Mr . Djsiublt , can wish . Keixd a second time without a division , the ' little show of opposition offered V > y Lord Eixknbohougu will not cause much anxiety 1 o Government . V ^ itli , at the most , some ' -very trifling amendments , the India Bill will in 1 nil probability to ready to receive Her Majesty ' s signature in the course of a very few days . Next , and . certainly of more immediate importanco to us of London , is the plan proposed by the CirAi-ciat . ou or thij ExbiiEQtiat for furnishing . t lip money t , o . drwn , the' metropolis und to ., purify lli « - Thames . -At Jn » ti ' tfio thing is I , -HIM .

to be done . Some system of drainage is to be decided upon , the money for carrying it out is to be placed in the hands of the executive , and in five yeai'S and a half from the moment of commencement the work is expected to be done . Bravo ! A ¦ ra te of threepence in the pound levied on the metropolis will , in forty years , not only furnish the required annual outlay while the work is progressing , but will supply a sinking fund out of which the principal and interest of the 3 , 000 , 000 / . permitted , will be honourably and punctually repaid in forty years . The Times says gallantly , never mind if the works cost more than the estimated sum , only let the . 3 a OOO , OO 0 / - 'bc spent in such a way that the work produced may be comprehended in a larger scheme , and that is the best advice that can be given at the outset of such a vast experiment . The majority against Mr . Hutt ' s motion on Monday evening need not disquiet tiny . one . That a large number of the present House of Commons are content to back Lord Palmerston and Lord Deuby in the maintenance of their anti-slavery policy , goes for little against the rapid advance of public opinion on the slave question . The Times , which always aims at representing matured , or almost matured , public O 2 ) inion , has of late come to hold exactly the same views that liavc been all along expressed by this journal on the slave trade ; and even the Globe , with all its partiality for Lord PalmIsbston , ' arguing in the abstract from our point of view .. These arc successes on the side of broad public opinion "that far outweigh hi importance the Conservative . triumph , of Monday night ' s majority . Lord John . 11 ussisi . Tj . 1 kis admirably defined the relative positions of the two Houses on the Jew question . After all . the tender regard which bus been shown it hy tho House of Commons , ! the House of Lords lias placed itself in a most undignified , not to say absurd , position by the covirse it hiis taken with regard to the Oaths and Jews I } ilfs ' , it has passed a measure designed expressly to enable Jews to take their scats in the House of Commons , and as a reason for adhering to its own amendments of the Oaths Bill it has expressed itself strongly of opinion that , Jews arc morally unfitlod , by tins nature of their religion , to take part in "the legislation of a professedly Christian community . " Lord John Hussjsix is wisely of opinion that tin ; host thing to b < s done is to accept these two bills , which at least effect the two main objects for which tho one waa designed : they secure , as he said , " an alteration of tho Oaths and the ndmi&siou ol Jcwb into Parliament ; .

The news from India , without being positively bad , is of a kind to cause anxiety for the British troops , labouring as they are under fearful disadvantages . The heat is terrific , and it is only wonderful that Europeans are able to perform any duty requiring bodily exertion . Our army is thus terribly overworked , and can only hold its way by sheer force of courage . It is easy to see that the mode of warfare adopted by the rebels will enable them to hold out for any length ,. of time , for they can , never be decisively beaten . After being driven out of Calpee , the Gwalior men marched straight upon the country of our ally Scindia , whom they fought and compelled to fly to Agra , after two-thirds of his men had gone over to the enemy . They were in possession of Gwalior wlien the latest accounts left ; India , aiid Sir Hugh Hose was moving forward to ' attack them . Mcauwhile strong bands of rebels arc ravaging the country cast and south of Oudc , which , however , remains tranquil , as also docs Ttohilcund . The most notable point of the news , perhaps , is , that the enemy is once more in . great force around Lucknow , and is intercepting thcicommunications with Cawnporc . Sir Colin Campbeli . had g-one to Allahabad . l'Vom Asia the news is . of a wild and distressing character . Mahometan fanaticism has once , more been doing bloody work . At ' Jeddah , on tho Red ' Sea , nearly the whole of ( lie English and French residents have been ruthlessly massacred ; : md , at < , the whole of the lied Sea ports the lives of ilie Knglish and ITrench Christians arc in peril . The . action of the British Government has been prompt and energetic . Three ships of war aro ordered tov Jcddnh , with instructions to use the most forcible and coercive measures if necessary' to bring the ' authors of this atrocity to justice ., In . Candiu- alsp there has been a slaughterous rencontre botweeivthc '< ¦ Turks and Greek Christians . The Mnhovnctrtns ' have attacked ' both' the lYench and . JJIngtUtU cpny , su } ivtc 3 , and there is a general emigration , of iho , Christian parti of the population . So much for <; lre < rcfmlls of treaties and conferanecs : the "' affiurs of the East" have still to be regulated by the strong hand and firm will of the Western Powers . » ¦¦ » In America there lias been bloodshed arising oiii , - <—" v ~ of fanaticism of another kind .
