The Milton Manuscript . TfMBS are wonderfully . changed since Milton complained of evil days and evil tongues . In the race that the Government and Parliament are running with the People in liberality , and in which
they sometimes take the lead of tbe people , nothing that can gratify a generous cultivated mind , or do honour to the national character , seems to be overlooked . The Milton Manuscript { of which we gave some account , p . 124 ) has beea recognised in Parliament , and it
appearsfrom a conversation which we are about to give , that His Majesty has expressed his opinion of its value , and his wish for its publication ! It will be aur endeavour to furnish oar readers With some account of it as soon-as it appears . —The following is the Morning-Chronicle report of
what passed m the House of Common ? , Monday , March 29 : — " Mr . W . Williams wished to put a question to the Right Hon . Secretary ( for the Home Department ) . He understood that a work of the immortal Milton , in the hand-writing of one of his nephews , Philips , had
been lately discovered in the State Papers-He was anxious to learn whether such a gratifying communication was true , and if true , whether it was , as he hoped , intended to give it to the public ! ( hear , hear !)—Mr . Secretary Peel i It is true that a work of Milton ' s , in the
handwriting of Philips , has been discovered by Mr . Lenian ( Lemon ) amongst tbe State Papers . It is a work entitled De Dei CultUy in support of the truths of the Christian Religion , It was on its discovery submitted to His Majesty ; and the first observation of His Majesty was , * A work of Milton ' s must be made
public * ( loud and continued cheers ) . It has since , in furtherance of the fio $ al decision , been submitted to a competent supervision , and the work wili speedU ^ appear ( cheers ) .
