s r S * ? 111 * * * s * * . * i—^^^^ 1 ** s * s .-srsssrsss ** PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW ,
The debates on the bill for creating new bishops , have imparted a distinct character and tone to the closing weeks of the session , which they would otherwise have lacked , and served to veil from popular view the hurried manner in which the remainder measures of the session have been poked away , hurried forward , abandoned , '' deferred till next session , " and so on . The country is deeply indebted to the small , but gallant , minority , vjho so steadfastly resisted the . crowning enormity of the session , and at last compelled Lord John to abandon that part of the Bill which had reference to the future creation
of three additional Bishops . Unfortunately , they were not powerful enough to avert the fate of Mancheater , which is to be " Bishopped , " of course , greatly to the edification and pleasure of the spinners , power-loom weavers , dyers , calico printers , and p ieccrs dwelling therein ! Manchester will henceforth , we presume , lie elevated in the scale of towns , and be known by the style and designation of a City , though how the cotton lords will relish their ecclesiaslical lord without a seat in the House of Peers ; or , when 1 ) 3 gets there , his holding the seat on : sufferance , not by right , remains to be seen .
John ' s readiness to be the tool of the Church on thii occasion , and the obstinacy with which he battled for a measure which is totally uncalled for ; by the circumstances of the case , as well as opposed by the great majority of the people , contrasts curiously with the facility with which he relinquished measures of the highest public importance on -the slightest appearance of a " difficulty . " At tnevery closing hours of tho Session , and of Parr liament , he was found defending with a stubborness and pertinacity , worthy of a better cause , a measure which his own conscience must tell him is a bad one :
while , on the pretence that there was not time , only a few days ago he gave up the Health of Towns Bill , a Measure which was imperatively demanded by the wretched state of onr large towns , and the havoc committed by the pestilence engendered in their closely packed lanes , a'Ws , and court ; exhaled from reeking cr sspc ols , aid unti-aui ed drains . His geod measures are shadow / and uiis > bstantia as ghosts ; they melt like phantoms on exposure to the light ; the evil ones only have a pernicious principle of vitality , about them , which enables them to
survive repeated and determined onslaughts . There was one remaining vestige of public character left to the Premier , which his conduct on this bill has completely destroyed . His claims to the possession of political wisdom , profound judgmei t , moral courage and practical statesmanship must be ignored by all who have watched his career tiiis session as First minister of the Crown , but there was one little point left on which the ge . ntiine lUissellites might still have appealed to the prejudices of honest John Bull , and raised a cheer for the almost prostrate idol of their traditionary worship . They might , in the last desperate
moments of political failure , have claimed for him the credit of being "consistent . " We are by no means blindly in love with what is called by certaiu parties , consistency in political affairs . His quite as often a vice as a virtue , anil generally ] means that the man of forty or fifty should be bound by the crude , immature and inexperienced views of twenty or twenty-five ; that , however , other men may livo to learn , for the public politician there must be no progress ; like the feet of the Chinese women his intellect must be cramped by thn iron shoe put upon it m infancy . Such consistency as this we repeat is quite as often a vice as a virtue . But there are instances
in wlueu l > y a fortunate combination of innuences , the hereditary public man is born , to an inheritance of sound principles and enli ghtened views , and persiffence in maintaining such views is not only creditable to the individual , but beneficial to the community , both practically and reflectively . It is desirable that as few violent changes as possible should be witnessed in the opinions and policy of these , upon whom the management of State affairs devolves . When such changes do take place they ought always to be of a progressive character , in order to reconcile the
public to the inconsistency . But in Lord John ' s case , in this question of an addition to the number of bishops , he has not gone forward , but , crab-like , backwards . It is altogether a new character for him . that of church extender and bishop maker . He belongs to the party who cut down the Irish Bishops . He belongs to the section of politicians who have all along been looked upon with fear and regarded with hostility by the highly paid dignitaries of the Church- as their direst enemies , and who have justified that fear of hostility bv
proclaiming , in the plainest terms , that they regarded Bishops as an over-grown , greedy , and idle set cf cormorants , who preyed upon the public funds without ghing any substantial return . Yet now we find this would-be consistent politician coming forward , when the Session and the Parliament is in extremis and nightly forcing through the House , backed b y a motley majority , composed of renegade Churchmen , Tories , and Placemen , a Bill of the most ob-. uoxiuus descri ption in itself , and which , in addition to its other drawbacks , is in the teeth of all his
previous conduct on such questions . It is , indeed , one of the many strange things we have witnessed in modern times , that a Bill for creating more Bishops should have come from a Whig Cabinet There is scarcely a man on the Treasury Bench who has not , at sonic period of his life , spoken and voted against measures of the wry kind they how sup-IK '" ; and Mr 13 . fiscott deserved credit for reminding these miserable deserters from principle , of their degraded and tongue-tied position , or , Monday nijUt . The debates on the subject have given rise
to some scenes more animated and exciting than dig . nified or rational-twenty members speaking at once-half a dozen personal altercations , simultaneously prosecutcil-ancl a babel of confusion prevailing over ail-are not things calculated to elevate the legislature in the ' eslimatidn of onlookers . Tiic blame , however , does not rest with those who resist bad measures , but with those who force them
ou ; and the exposure of the inconsistency of tuft , hunting MrUawes , which Mr Duw »« , be so ablv inad ^ is one ot those public benefits which cans ' , one to overlook the- somewhat uproarious scene in which it took plac . Tl . e people of Lambeth , ' we snould think , will need a gveat ( kal of „ ' „ to induce them to tolerate any longer the p , t smug aud self-sat ^ cd gentleman whom they mv helped to office and power .

THE HALIFAX ELECTION .
We have much pleasure in pointing the attention of our readers to a fact recorded in another part of our columiii , ami illustrative of the weak position of faction , while it evidences the growing power of the population . Of the two Whi g Members for Halifax , Sir Charles Wood and Mr Prothcroe , who have represented (?) the borough , the first for fifteen and the other for ten years , the latter has already been beaten from the field , and issued his retiring address , and advised his colleague , to coalesce with
the Tory , as the ouly means of resisting the strength of liberty . He has made a confession of the weakness of either party—he has written the epitaph ready for the grave of dying faction . What—have the haughty creit of the Tory , the rampant altitude of the Whig , been lowered to this—that the old enemies have been forced to coalesce , in order to maintain a footing ? What-are they further reduced Vo the & \ temati \ e , the one of saying he has no particular opinions , the other of being afraid to
say anything at all ? What-has one month wrought this wonderful change in a constituency ? No ! It has been the growing conviction of years that is fast reaching the moment of maturity . But the position already achieved—teaches us the power tiie people possess of resisting corruption . H shows us , iu the support from men of ali classes , that principles , hitherto calumniated and vilified , are reviving—how truth will conquer prejudice , and perseverance baffle omiusition .
The discomfited Whig has aimed a last shot at what he calls " revolutionary princip le- ; . " He forgets it is revolutionary principles to which he owed his seat—he forgets the progress of history is one great revolution , one continuous change , as fallacies keep giving way before truths , and the people continue freeing themselves irom chain after chain . That which we long predicted , the coalition of faction , is thus taking place ; and we are , in one sense , glad to see it . It will strengthen our position . There can bi- no deception now—all parties know
what they have to esuect-the cloven foot has been put forward by the enemy , and the conspiracy of faction intHt promote the only thing no \ v wanting for the people ' s triumph—union among their ranks . No one can now any longer say , " Well , the Whigs are bad , but the Tories may do better ; or viceversa . " AH must now see that it is the rich oppressor against the poor oppressed ; and in anxious expectation every honest heart loo . is forward to Ibe result of the general struggle now about to be maintained throughout the country . And there is
one ennobling feature about the present contest for the People ' s Charier—it is no . longer a war against J 1 EN , l ) Ut against MEASURES—it is no longer au attempt to take property away — but to increase its amount , by enabling the people to en oy tlie fruits of tbftir own great property—their labour . It is no longer a crusade against a class , but for a nation . It is not , and NEVER WAS , an onset against religion—hut an attempt to raise it in the estimation of man , by raising it above , the s ; wa > of nulicv . Thence
it is that men of ali partl-s are beginning to espouse our cause—thence it is , that wealthy , influential niP . 11 , Dissenting ministers , and even Stale Churchmen , are erabiacing and avowing our princi ples , the conviction of truth has dawned upon their minds , and the doubt , as to whether the people are ina fit state to permit of-their realisation , is fast fading before ihe ' givat lesson the national coutiuct is giving to the votaries of ciass legislation The peaceable demeanour , the far- ; pread organisation , the sound arguments , tlie just conclusions , ihc
moderate demands , and the well-laid plans of the people , while they paral yza opposition , challenge respect , a ; iu tV . emosti-x-. lusivc ! politician is beginning to exclaim : " I never thought it ! The people are NEARLY lit for Uuivfcrsal Suffrage . " Neaui . y ! Well , that is an advance . At one time it uas : " Ob tlie thing is impossiulc ! Jt can NEVER be done !'' The never has changed into nearly , and when the people are strong enough to enforce , they will be considered \ vis . e enough to receive , and the KfiARLY will be cliftiigcfi into NOW .
but , to effect this , a momentary impulse is not enough , there must he a steady determination . To effect this , a local movement is not sunicient , there must be a gencal unjoii . The people must rem ember ihe nou-electors have it in their power to influence the electors , the vtites of the electors return tlie members , awl ihu members make the laws The nou- * . lectors have neglected their power , the oiiiy Oiic they possessed ! the electors have been left at the . mercy of intimidation and exclusive dealimn as " practised ?» y the rich , " and the "
representatives of the people have been onl y the nominees of faction . The non-electors hava now perceived their error , and we know of many places in which they are already acting on the admirable plan laid down by Mr O'Connor in our las-t number . It may line be biiid , — " Why extend the franchise , when we thus admit that the people have the power of influencing ths electors ? " We mi ght here reply , " WHY NOT . it tlu-. y pn-sess a power VIRTUALLY , you may as well conenle it ftrcmnll j . But we take higher grouixi , and have more forcible objections
We take the ground of RIGHT , and mcu of al parties concede the People' Ki ght to , the FrancTiiset and merel y a : sail it on the ground of expediency . Here we meet them with their own weapons—it is conceded that the people can control the constituencies if they choose , and they . will if they can ; it follows lliat tlie electors must bs directed in their choice of national representatives by self iuterest or J ' -a :, since the present system challenges their volea for the support of faction , surel y a bad basis for a representative system . U farther follows that hatreds
, bickerings , and jealousies , must be engendertd between two | iuriio-. is of the community-ami lies , deception , and perjury march in their train . It endangers tiie peace of the country , and corrupts the morals of a portion of the people | , bribery or threats , whichever way the tide of power sets . For , suppose the privileged classes to keep the people out of then ri ghts , it can only be do !; c bv violence aud
corruption j suppose the people to force the men of their choice on the constituencies , it can only be done by indirect means , and means derogatory alike to the rights of man and the dignity of legislation . Tims , from whatever point ; of view the exclusive system lie regaided , it is full of faults , dangers , and evils . Tho more it is aUacked , the more its rot tenness becomes apparent ; and . . he moiv . encouragement is given to its assailants .
Bat more than ever energy ? nd organisation are wanting to subvert it . That organisation must procure fruits-it must strengthen the sinews of war . Exposes mil be multiplied at the election by both Whigs and Tories , to BREAK THE BACKS of the Chartists . Where two polling-booths would do , they will contrive to have four , and Utus w . h all othc .
things . WE MUST BE TKEPAKED * 0 R Ml * . The pence , of the many can beat the pounds o f the few ; some places have subscribed nobly to the Election Fund-ALL places must subscribe . If there is not money enough to meet all legal expenses at the elections contended by Chartist candidates , that which has gallantly been given by a few places , will be thrown away ; and , be it remembered , it could not be subscribed to greater advantage either for the CHARTER or the LAND . The peop le re
quire the small proprictory system to be extendedthen let it be legislated for by breaking up the monopoly of land—in giving the waste lands and the stolen cliurch-lands to the poor . The members of the Land Company are vitally interested in being represented in Parliament—let them do their dutyand ere long we shall have a CHARTIST BENCH in the House of Commons .

THE COMING STRUGGLE . " Now ' s the day and now ' s the hour . " At the moment we pen these hastil y written remarks ( Thursday evening ) , ( he moral certainty exists that Parliament will be dissolved the day previous to the date of this journal ' s publicati At length the Chariist spirit is fairly roused . We present this week to our readers a list of the names of men well fcnowu to the people , whose present pro . fessions are supported by past services—services iu
many a well-fought field against both open foe and treacherous friend . If the people will but do their duty , and enforce the election of the true friends whose names we this week publish , they will have elected if not a sufficient number to carry the Charter , at least sufficient to employ all the forms of the house in such a way as to compel concession to tlie popular desaand for justice ; and sufficient to act as the guiding power of the " pressure from without , ' which has only to be fully put forth , and efficiently directed , to achieve a revolution the most glorious on record , because bloodless aud just ; a revolution which would light all and wrong no 0112 . j We have spoken of the people enforcing the election of their friends . Let it be clearly understood that , by this we mean no " brickbat and blud geon law ; no popular imitation of the unfair and villainous conduct of the Mayor and Whi gs of Derby ; no assault npon the rights of others , but simply the Stem resalve , extiresseu in plain language , and backed b y iastaaeous act on the part of each and all , to support no man with pound , shilling , or penny , who having a vote , refuses to give that vote on the side of equal justice .
It is unneessary for us to reiterate the advice of Mr O'Connor , given iu our last . Earnest men will require , at the most , not more than one admonition ; and as regards slaves—though an angel preached to them they would neglect to follow the Advice from heaven . By EXCLUSIVE DEALING the people may righteousl y compel the abolition of Exclashzism . Serious . disorders usually require sharp remedies—remedies tco , iu some measure , partaking of the disesse they are employed to coimieract . Hitherto our institutions have been foimded
and our laws e : iacled in the spirit of EXCLUSIVE DEALING . The privileged classes have cared only for themselves , and those \ vho have votes have generally hiiaerio bartered theni for the gold , the promises ¦ <» . & the smiles of the rich , or ^ whern corruption has not been the moving power , prejudice has . Ths petty sh&pkce » er has been as exclusive and insolent in his way , as the haughtiest of a- istociats . Bat the disease may be made to cure itself
Ihe principle of EXCLUSIVE DEALING which fora heretofore been employed against Hie people , must be i : « rsr tarns . I a ? a nst the enemies of the people , ? jy Vat people themselves . The end to be gained hallows the employment of the means . That " end " is not the elevation of any one class at the expense of others , bat simply the triumph of JUSTiCE , in the blessings of which tue vanquished as vcell as Vive victors will share .
" Tha iioiicat cause that tongue or SWOrJ O : inarw . sv « v lost or gained \" If the rc ? der will glance at the first page of this day ' s Star , he canm-. but be hi ghly gratified at the array of talented and patriotic naaes associated with , and pledged to the principles of sterling dcuiocracy , as definsd in the People ' s Charter . It wouM be a needless expenditure of words to address an cshoi ' . aiion to the men of Finsbury to do their duty , by securing the return of their present representatives . That they will do without anv help or
advice from others . The taiked-of Tory opponent of Buncombe and Wakley , has no more chance of being elected for Finsbury , tbau he has of beii >" ciccled for Timbuctoo , which , however , considering his benighted notions , he might much more fitl y aspire to represent . Though , instead of having wiillen , Air Warren had expended "Ten Thousand a Year" for t-ju years iu preparation fur his assault on tins Democratic fortress of Fiusbury , he would have had no more chance of victory than he has
ti-. w . Ti-. e result of the hnsnury election will attest the fallacy of the alledged fickleness of the people . The English democracy—and democracy i » ilue » ccs jinWic opiiiions , and decides public action iu I'insbiiry—are not tired of hearing Dmicombe and akii-y cr . iled "the just . " The ostracism will be directed , n-. it against the friends , but against tho ises aJ" the jie . ijtlc .

Such men as Crawford of Kochdale , and William of Coventry , will also obtain the overwhelming support of tbeir censtituauts . ( Jn some subjects we •¦ n ay differ from these men ; but iu the hour ol battle \ va remember lhat on the great question of questions they have been on the ' right side . To such , tliercfore , we wish Gad speed 1 But a glorious baud of patriots are now knocking at the door of St Stephen ' s , who , wiih . Gue exception , have not hiiherio known the inside of that qnestiosubJe domicile—or rather unquestionable dcsi of M ( i-. Jngiit ) P ( iumlerer ) ' s . The one exception we aUudetois , of course , Mr Feargus O'Connor . We
shall uot think of using Mr O'Connor ' s paper to bespatter its proprietor with our praise , praise which the people of Nottingham do not at all need to aiake them sufficiently appreciate- their chosen candidate , ilubhouse and Gisborne already shake in Jiwir shoes , for well they know that recreancy and treachery are not the sort of sins their Chartist opii'jnsiU is likely to overlook , Happy will habbibvj Macaulay be that Feargus O'Connor cannot be " two gentlemen at once . " But onl y let the constituency if Nottingham send him to the House of Commons , a : id more than one babbling fool will find the man of the people—backed by the people-fully a match for the Ut-aosl ignorance and Insolence that House can
produce . Ireland , too , needs at least one veritable diaaiaioa , who will expase her wrongs and demand

Mr Duncombe brought a case of oppression , connected with the Post-office management , before the bouse on Tuesday night , which very forcibly illustrates the treatment awarded to honest men , who expose the malpractices of their superiors . That gross abuses and malversations existed in the l ' nstoflice ; that the officers , paid by the public money , were constantl y and extensively employed in services for the private benefit of cer t ain superior officers of that establishment , was clearlv proved by the
commission appointed to examine into the truth of the allegations made by Mr Duncombe on the subject . R . Grapes , to whose sudden dismissal on a false and frivolous pretext , Mr Duncombe drew the attention of the house , was one of the main witnesses whose evidence proved the existence of these nefarious practices . No doubt , the first opportunity of tripping him up was eagerly watched for by the official , whose evil doings he had exposed , and accordingly so it turned out . Jlr Duncombe applied to the Government and the house to protect the man from
persecution and oppression , on the broad ground that Parliament having ordered the inquiry were bound to protect the witnesses . But a pretext was set up by the Government , and justice eluded forthe present , on the ground , thai , as the papers could not be immediatel y prepared , it was better to defer the settlement of the matter "until the next session , " that awful limbo to which so many other matters
havo been alread y relegated ! If the Government would pay Grapes hia salary , in the meantime , to eep himself and family alive , there would be some excuse for this proceeding . But as that is not the case , the injustice and hardship of the affair become obvious . It affords miserably poor encouragement to others in the same portion , to come forward to protect the interests of the public , and expose official malversation .

reKfroln ' uie ' nelaTtiiV' fallen mantle Iu been caught up by the erratic Whig Ex-Chancellor . T > . t h tosay , he does not shine in comparison with Ins predecessor . ' There was a masculine force of intellect , a clear logic , and a manly and energetic eloquence displayed in Lord Lyndhurst ' s annual criticisms , with wind ! the oratory of Brougham will not bear to be contrasted . The target was however so palpable , that it was impossible any oue could fail to hit it . His Loidship , therefore , after briefly disposing of the few measures which reached maturity , I , - ¦ :- ; -Yif M ^ iMiiVHii ^ rr ^ irrTr
as Acts of Parliament , descended into the shades below , to fish u |> the g hosts of the numerous bills of which " some were never born , others departed without a moment ' s warning ; " of those which struggled into life , all that need' be said was , that a thousand freak 3 and follies died with thorn . There were puny infantile measures which instantly dropped into oblivion ; there was a whole crowd of g hosts—they were of various size 3 , of various degrees of importance , but all had suffered from one pitiless process of abandonment or
massacre ; " and the conclusion to which he came on a review of these hapless ghosts was , " these failures , this systematic or wholesale impotency , made one think , that a strong Government , which one did not like , mig ht be better than a weak Government which one did . " One one point we must dissent from Lord Brougham ' s verdict . He spoke of the Ten Hours ' Bill as one of the measures of which , he said , ' wor ? e measures had never been passed in one session , " and paid a compliment to his own sagacity in foreseeing that" when work was reduced from 12 to 10 or 11
hours , wages would be reduced from 12 d . to 10 d . o lid- " That was . be said , " precisely what had happened . There had been astrike of workmen iu one of tlie greatest manufactories of Yorkshire , which belonged to some old constituents of his , men of a most humane disposition . But it was not a question of humanity , it was a question of pounds , shillings , and pence . Had they yielded , they would have been ruined , they would have been gazetted . " This appears to us a very summary mode of disposing of the whole question , and of pronouncing a verdict as to
thp . consequences of the Ten Hours' Act . It is one which we are certain , even Brougham himself would not tolerate if applied to any other measure which he had not opposed , or was not disposed unjustly to diS ' parage and vilify . His own answer , and that of the Free Traders generally , to the wpll-gronnded complaints that their boasted panacea , ' which was , as by the magic touch of some enchanted wand to give " Cheap Bread , High Wa » es , and Plenty to Do , " to all the productive classes , has hitherto only been accompanied by " Dear Bread , Low Wages , and Little
to Do , "hasbcen , thatitwas unfair to judge of theeffects of the measure until it was full y in operation . That is the reply in the case of the Ten Hours' Act also , and with much more justice . It is not yet in general operation , and in the meantime it may suit the purposes of individual manuafcturers to take measures for the purpose of throwing discredit upon the Act ; of creating di ssatisfaction with it , and making it un-| l > npu 1 ar among the operatives . They have the power to do this if they are so minded in the interval which has to elapse between the present period and the full operation of the Act . But ns soon as that takes place , these tricks will be seen through and become
harmless . The strong arm of the law will compel uniformity in working the mills j and if there be any truth whatever in the boasted doctrines of modern political economy ; if supply and demand really regulate prices and wages , the inevitable effect ot" the alteration must be to benefit the operative classes , both pecuniarily and morally ; The Ten Hours' Act was , we have repeatedly said , the only act for which the operative classes have to thank the session of 1847 ; the only act which redeems it from the stigma of uster uselessness , or worse , of having been horouglily and absolutely injurious in all its aspects .
