NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
Prorogation is Approaching 1 , but there is still work 
to be done; the whole of the estimates not having' been 
passed while we write, and the Bribery Bill having- to he 
considered by the Lords. Parliament is sitting 1 at and 
until nil sorts of hours, from thirteen to fourteen per 
day being the average which n member of the House of 
Commons has to endure towards the close of the session. 
The week has not been murked by any very interesting 
discussion, if we except a smart display on Wednesday. 
The Russian Securities’ Bill, as it is lucidly termed, its 
object being the making it illegal to deal in such securi- 
ties, was considered in Committee. A previous debate 
upon this bill had afforded the unseemly spectacle 
of two Ministers opposing one another, and that 
not in the most courteous terms. Lord Palmerston, 
acting, as usual, in accordance with the spirit of the 
country, denounced the trafficking in Russian securities 
as the lending money to an enemy. Mr. Wilson, as 
representative of the class who think all tilings lawful in 
the way of trade, opposed the bill as tending to prevent 
the operations of capitalists. Lord Palmerston, next 
time he rose, described Mr. Wilson’s argument us “sheer 
nonsense." The Solicitor General undertook to remedy 
certain defects in the bill, and this, in its amended form, was 
presented to the Committee on Wednesday. It was then 
Mr. Thomas Baring’s turn to object. The head of this 
gentleman’s family was long ago dubbed by William 
Cobbett “ Baring, the member for his own breeches- 
pocket,” and, href, “ Breeches-pocket Baring.” The 
instinct of adherence to one’s own interests was 
not exactly lost sight of by the inheritor of the name, 
who not only assailed the bill, but intimated that Lord 
John Russell and Lord Palmerston were actuated by 
feelings of personal animosity against the Czar. Lord 
John rebuked Mr. Baring with justifiable indignation ; 
but he was hit still harder by the Home Secretary, who 
remarked upon his having adopted the “jargon” of 
those who were opposed to our English policy ; and 
added, that Mr. Baring ought to be the last person to 
do this, us everybody knew that he was the private 
agent of the Emperor of Russia. Mr. Bright, too, 
who never says hard things, complained that the 
poor Emperor should have been “ vituperated ” by 
noble lords. Mr. Disraeli, ever active as a peace- 
maker, “sympathised” with Lord Palmerston, who had 
for many years been subject to rabid charges of personal 
animosity; and, added Mr. Disraeli, “ I only mention this 
to show the amiable nature of the noble lord, these charges 
were incessantly made by his present colleague, the 
Premier.” Government have now taken charge of the 
bill, which was an emanation of the patriotism of that 
eminent statesman and orator, Lord Dudley Stuart. 
This nobleman has 'distinguished himself less advanta- 
geously this week by a motion in favour of our repudia- 
ting a debt which we are bound to pay to Russia, except 
under a set of circumstauces which have not arisen. 
He talked, and Sir William Molesworth answered, him 
iu a House of about twenty-five members, and the 
spectators, largely outnumbering the legislators, wondered 
mightily why nobody “counted out.” 
Lord Palmerston was defeated in a formal attempt to 
continue the Board, of Health for another year, but it 
was evident that such attempt was mere routine work, 
as the next day Sir William Molesworth announced a 
Government plan for reconstituting the Board on the 
principle of the Poor Law Board, with one responsible 
head who should have a seat in Parliament. The un- 
popular Mr. Chadwick will retire, slightly consoled, it 
may be, by a pension of £1,000 a-year, — an application 
which lias been found to console many people in its time. 
Some bitter speeches have been exchanged betweenLords 
Seymour and Shaftesbury, from their respective Houses, 
touching the Board of Health, and the noblemen go much 
nearer to fiat contradiction of one another, as to facts, 
than used to be usual, between such high-blooded 
people, without another kind of appeal. 
The war is, apparently, in statu quo , as regards the 
allies; hut this cannot be the case, because a hasty 
retrograde movement of the Russians, and a resolution 
to evacuate Bucharest, can only be accounted for on the 
supposition that either Austria was coming into the 
field), or that the allies had actually come. It is not to 
be supposed that Lord Raglan and Marshal St. Arnaud 
are conducting their movements without a definite 
object ; and it now seems difficult to believe that many 
days can elapse without the arrival of news of im- 
portance from the Danube. There is a report that 
Bomarsund has been attacked and taken by a portion of 
Sir C. Na'pier’s forces, hut we await confirmation of this 
statement. 
The domestic chapter, this week, is brief. The re- 
appearance of the cholera, and its ravages in the exact 
districts where dirt, bad drainage, and unwholesome 
food would seem to invite its presence, is a melancholy 
fact, but one at which we have no right to be surprised. 
Much as we value the blessings of freedom and of a con- 
stitutional government, one grows very sick of the cruel 
delays which the selfishness of “local interests” inter- 
poses between the discovery of a want and its being 
supplied ; and one is often tempted to wish that the wise 
despot who is, as by magic, converting Paris into the 
most beautiful city in the world, were allowed six 
months’ control over our own reeking chimnies, fouled 
river, and hideous courts and alleys. He would make 
small allowance for vested right to poison a city ; and 
the fellow who, the other day, on being ordered to cleanse 
a house in which his wretched lodgers were wallowing i n 
filth too abominable todescribe, “ thought it very hard that 
he should be dictated to as to the management of his 
property,” would, under such a rule, have been made 
remarkably short work with. But what would become 
of vestry spouters, and the like, if there were such a 
power? On the whole, let us be thankful that London 
may be nearly as filthy us she pleases. 
The Irish ruffian, Carden, who attempted the abduction 
of Miss Arbuthnot, has escaped with about one-tenth 
of the punishment he merited. His own confession 
brings out one fact to which a journalist cannot allude 
but which proves Carden’s intentions to have been more 
coolly ferocious than can well he conceived. Two years’ 
imprisonment and hard labour (let us hope it will be 
very hard) is no penalty for what he intended to 
perpetrate.
