Then . the Lard ChanceUox , mho has snatched at a dinner
between the termination of Court and the eommencerftent of Fatliament , " toddles on to the \ s&ck ' , and having been informed by'ILord Bedesdkle -Khat 4 ii@ : her ^ ditaries haveto do sto-day » remarks to l ; tke two BBers who are talking of Cruvelli , that the weather is very changeable , which the two Peers , who are old , with a tendency to wadded paletots , L a ^ re ^ that ( it is . A minister "appeare ^ and then knottier Minister , and they show their respect to the House by going at once to their seats and whisperittg confidentially—the subject beings probably , where they were to dine that evening . A third Minister appearB and joins in the conference , and subsequently ^ plu ^ gea into his aespatch-box , where his private « eccetar , y has put the papers which are to tell him

Then Lord Ellenborough arrives , in a martial ; cloak , looking like an amateur Mars ; and aai iLord UUlenborougb does not like the Coalition , and acorns chance Peers , he g-oes into ¦ a corner , gloomily , and prepares to be down upon any one -who has any description of opinion , about the war . There is now a House . The Lord Chancellor coughs , Lord Bedesdale blows his nose , the clerks at the table look at Lord Aberdeen , who nods to the clerks at the table ; and business is begun . What is it ? A clerk at the table reads something ; Lord Redesdale speaks something ; tike Lord Chancellor mutters something ; and then there-is a solemn pause . The Lord Chancellor looks dead mt Lord Bedesdale . Lord Bedesdale looks dead
at the clerks at the table : the clerks at the table look dead at Lord Aberdeen , bat Lord Aberdeen , is in a "brown stu 4 y , thinking about the horrors of-war and tlie climate of Nice , and Lord Aberdeen does not notice the clerks at the table . The pause becomes painful That circumstanceis noticed by the intelligent Privy Seal , who , having no department , is supposed to have volunteered to look after Lord Aberdeen . The Duke of Argyll accordingly nudges Lord Aberdeen : Lord Aberdeen starts , sees that business is over , jumps up , and says cheeringly , " That your Lordships now adjourn ; " which their Lordships accordingly do : they have got through their hereditary legislation for the day ; and have done it in exactly twenty minutes .
The Commons took longer—but it is questionable if they did as roach . There wer < j two hours or interpellations about the war , and rumours of the war ; but at tche end of the two hours , no man could say disfcifictly what was the meaning of what ho had heard , or what it was all about .

good « ense of the House , -a few straggling Irish Members , suffering from the pott-Lenten reaction cheering them accordingly . JVtr » Cobden a . ad Mr ' Bright were evidently willing enough to be critical , acute , and debatery ? btrt they had no chance—they were merely pointing out thart to © < 3 reek insurrection would somewhat derange our plans to preserve the integrity of a country which , in a few months , if we insist on its being our ally , will cease to exist but they were hooted down , oh Lord John ' s sneer ' as gympathiseis with the Emperor of Russia . They looked very isolated , the Jittle Manchester party , Mr . Cobden , Mr . Bright , and Mr . Gibson , huddled together at . the end of a bench which no other Members came near ; and it was ol > vi 9 us enotrgh they
had no chance of a hearing vhile the fit is on the House , and they sensibly gave in and left the talk to the laborious Mr . Layavd , fussy Mr . French , deplorable Dudley Stuart , voadrous WUloughb y ^ who advised and counselled the Government , with great ^ mphasrs and much conceit . The Government having gdfc * id of the Manchester mcrnotnattiacs ( that ! is ; the new phrase ) , not taking the slightest notice , but chatting away the time until the bore was done with , and Lord John . Russell was enabled to get lip , and cornplncently move—?' Ah ^ -ia—¦ ah consideration of" circumstances Over ^ biefe no one wishes the slightest control—the postponement of everything .. This finishing the first weak of the after-Easter recess .
Was It for a debate such . &s that on fraiversity Hesform , on Thursday , that Patliainftnthas ^ e-assembled t For the purpose of Me Horsman explaining how theological Eterature mm to preserve iChristianity , and fior the purpose of Mr . JOigrtveli ^ who ought to know ) guaranteeing that uhrisiianity could bot be put down hy-Phiilpsbphy ? it * W not very well ascerteioed that « thero is « wr fervid anxietip : in-id 3 ie < natio 3 i for University pefcrm ^ and it is probable that Mr . MiaJ ^ L and i Mr . Bxight exaggerated the craving of ihelMsBenters for a 3 mis' sion to institutions ' whic'h the Dissetiters bave contrived to do very well without : and it i * susceptible of some demonstration that ITniversiiaet have , not
the slightest influence on nations , and that communities are intelligent in prQBortiou as they are not ^ 'learned " - —so that University Eeform , as Mr . Disraeli insinuated , doestft muoh matter . Bat whether or < not . there be the least attention paid in England to jbhisK subject , It is quite clear that Thuwday'B debate did not , in the slightest -degree , actvance the question ; and that , so far as Oxford is concerned , Parliament might Just ' sis -wtslS not ^ tave , reassemfcled , nothing being- mpre obvious than that this session wall accomplish nothing in the way of reform , for all the learned M . P . 's will
speak on the , question of " ynijersity Beform , and they will take at fea . st three 2 Fears of talking . Mr . Horaman himself would occupy a twelvemoath . Mr . Horsnoan is a very deTibera 4 ive man , and doesn ' t hurry , himself in speaking , and , of course , when he is pointing out to a House of Commons , which has bribed its way into power , und which is notoriously crowded with unrelenting followers of the Redeemer , how the progress of infidelity is to be stopped in thi » country , it i&oaly respectful and decent to allow him to be slow . Altogether it was a painfully tedious debate on Thursday . Few mem . T > ers being
present , no one . cheering and no one inierruptfng and the orator having everything to himself , < 0 ne began to notice that the House of Commons' style is now to lounge through , a speech . Mr . Horeman . soliloquised with his oranges * Mr . Disraeli , even in liis peroratory passionate and peculiarly ingenuous vindication of the vitality of C taristianity , was dreamily conversational ; and Mr . Bright slumbered over the subject—as it were talking indistinctly in his sleep—as . Mr . Bright may ba supposed to talk when he dreams that he lias been elevated to the Peerage , and is talking , in the Lords , at the
Bishops . Thursday ' s was , on the whole , what a debate among L > oto-eateca might be . Even Mr . Brigbt was subdued , not venturing to criticise Lord John ' s preposterous pretensions to the unlimited trust of the Reformers : and if there w'ag any one fierce it was the ordinarily mild Mr . Miall , who did courageously , —it ia courage when all the Radicals are Ministerialists to suggest that Lord , John is not quite a virulent liberal in consenting to exclude DiBsenters from the " national" Universities , —defend Mr . Hadfleld from Lord John's sneers—Lord John having been so successful in snubbing Sir John Shelley ,
that lie thinks he can now vith safety crush every member who does not commence a speech with a laudation of the impulsively Tefornaing career of tho Noble Lord the Member for tlie City of London . Antl the end of the debate was a postponement of the question imtil Monday—when Lite same tluug all over a ^ aiti ; meanwhile , Mr . Cardwedl's dangerous railway bills , avoiding the annihilation to which they aro justly doomed , and which public interests require should be expedited ; and meanwhile nothing beiujf done in earnest about tho Bribery Rills , — which might be something to show for the session Saturday Momma .
