What is the House of Lords? IS a. Peer? To define a 'Neils =no` easy' teslC '' It is to easy say what particular persons are• Peers at, any given inoinent ; it is easy to' say What their peculiar priVileges are by law or custom ; but to'say how the Peerage in its present shape came into being is a very much harder matter. Every one who has studied"cOnstitutiOnal-his tory, every one who has so • much as read. through Hallam, must know that there is no ,greater.POzzle than to sayltow, why, and when our present hereditary peerage grew up. , As ever in English constitutional . and' inquiries, we must go back „to the Very earliest times to find out the - real 'cause. What is. the Hon Se. of Lords? It: is _simply the old Assembly of the people of Eng 'landythe ancientWeethic , of the "There- is no better instance of the . way iii which, in • England' above all countries, institutions change their forms, and spring to new life again in 'new shapes, but with the old spirit. For all practical purposes the House of Commons is. the true modern representative of the ancient Witenagemot; but the Revise of Lords is the' WitenagemOt itself by actual personal succes sion. Thereis absolutely rig . break ;the thing always went on, feebly enough no doubtin the days Of foreign rule, but even under Normans and An,gevins some sort of national council never failed us. King William. assembled his Witan, no less -Than King Edward, and both lienries did the same. No hne can 'be drawn between the . GemOt of the eleventh century and the Parliament of the thirteenth. And of course it it-the House of Lords which bridges over the dark days between the two. But the House of Lords is, and has been for six hundred yearS ' an aristocratic body. The old Assembly, intheOry at least, was es sentially democri%tie. In this apparent con tradiction ,'lies the key to the whole matter. Our great Councils became aristocratic in practice because they were so highly denio cratie in theory. What is a Peer? He is in truth simply an ,Englislunau who has not lost, or who has regained, the ancient right of every free Englishman to attend - the Council of the nation in person. It has been often shown how such a, right as this, except in a 'State of the very smallest size, a single town or a very small district, gradually destroys itself. The mass of those who have the right to attend cannot and do not attend; their right dies out by non-user; and the c6nstitntion gradually be comes an oligarchy, simply because 'it is in o•theory so pure a democracy. But in such a case as this the greatest irregularity in the num bers and qualifications of those who do attend follows as a matter of comse. Every attempt to define the constitution of our National Coun cils, either before of for a good while after the Norman Conquest, has always broken down. Ingenious men have puzzled themselves to find out what the qualification was, the real ground of their " dilliculty,being that there was no qualification at all. The natural result fol lowed; a fell . , marked and powerful classes of men, the Earls for instance and the Bishops, always came as a matter of course. They were not likely to let their right drop, and the King could not well have got along without them. But beyond these few distinctly marked orders all is confusion; if. there is any sort of principle, it is that the right of attendance de pends on the King's summons. No principle was more natural to grow up. Where the mass. of those who had a theoretical right to attend never came, nothing was more ob vious than to summon those ,whose presence was wished for, nothing was more natural than that the right should gradually be held to be li t etitarat noarenia a - riart — tii‘ coiue who was not summoned, that the King could summon whdm he would, but that some par tiCular classes of men had a right to be sum moned. 'Such a theory as this Seems to explain the utter irregularity of the constitution of the House of Lords even for some time after, the house of Commons had grown up by its side. About the Earls and the Bishops there seems to be 'no doubt at any time; besides them the . King summons Abbots, but he does not always summon the same , Abbots; .he summons temporal men, but , he does not always sum mon the same temporal, men. The son may be summoned though the - father was not, or the son may not - be summoned though the father was. Nay, the man who is summoned to one Parliament is not always slummed to another. All this, of course, shows great irregularity—an irregularity' which could only have existed in a transitionalriod. One theory, in short, had been given up, and --- - no-other-theory was as yet fully established. The purely hereditary doctrinegrew up in this %natter step by step, just as it , grew up 'step by _step-with: regard-to_kingship.---But-it -won] d- be bard to show that there was any moment when the Crown lost the right of creating a peerage which need not be hereditary—that is, the right of summoning a man to Parliament without of necessity binding himself to sum- I won hisheirS forever. LOoked at in a purely historical way it is hard to understand any doubt as to the right of the Crown to create life peerages. It is plain • that the Crown once had the right; it is by no means plain that the Crown' ever gave up that right. The only doctrine on which the right can be attacked is the extreme democratic one. lt nught,be said that the whole system of per sonal summons was a usurpation, and that every freeman had a right to come, summoned or not summoned. The only ground 011 which . it canhe held that the Crown is bdund t l o sum mon the son because it has once summoned the father, is the ground that the Crown is bound to summon everybody, or rather that everybody Las a right to come with ,' Out being summoned at all. Of course the answer will be that, such doc trines are inconsistent with the hereditary character of the House. But the rejoinder is obvious; the hereditary character of the I louse is something which has grown up by degrees and which is net fully established even now. It is something more modern than life peer ages, and it never has wholly extinguished life peerages. An English Bishop is a life peer; an Irish Representative Peer is, as far as the louse of Lords is concerned, a life-peer. Au Irish Bishop or a Scotch Representative Peer, sitting by rotation or.hy election in each Parliament, is something less than a life peer. Any purely honorary privileges enjoyed by Scotch or Irish Peers who do not sit in' the House of Lords are off the question., The, ,Scotch and Irish Peers who 116 are, just. as much as the Bishops, cases of, ineircobra: have seats .b ._th e Mime of Lords, but Whose seats do not neces sarily pass to their sons. Now we do not profess to say that what scents to us a sound historical argument is a necessarily sound legal argument. Lawyers . constantly find out this precedent Is a good • one and the other a bad one, while, in au his torical point of view, one seems as good as the other, But we do not see how the historical argument can be evaded, except on grounds which the opponents of life — peerages in the House of Lords would be the very last to take • up. But the questioX both as an historical and as a legal one, has now become a matter of curiosity, To bring a . bill to enable the . Crown to do this or tied implies 'that the Crown Canna legally do it at present.. And the expediency is of course another question, Into . which we do not mean to enter.

In the bosom of the Church itself 'every semblance of independent thought or action has disappeared. For a thousand years the Catholic Episcopacy hare never been so utterly powerless, so help, lessly servile to Rome as at this' moment. An ominous increase has taken place in the ranks of the Jesuits, Ivhich en Jahuary Ist numbered 8,584 members, while in 1838 the entire order did not count more than a third of that mini her. Its headquarters are of course in Rome, but by its emissaries it is übiquitous, and many of its patrous.' perhaps even of the affiliated, are German bishops. The liberties of the Church are declared amoilg, other things to comprehend the stipulations—ghat the State shall tolerate no dissent from •'the Roman creed ; that marriage and education are within the jurisdiction of the Church and not of the State ; that the members of the hierarchy are not amenable .to the civil courts and that it is the duty of the State to enforce the decrees of the Church.

This Congress is to prepare a reorganization of clmrch government on the basis of the "Status Tran sylvania' Catholicorum," a law under which the churches, schools, and ecclesiastical property generally in Transylvania were formerly placed under the control of a mixed commission of clergymen and laymen. The Congress was opened on the 24th ult., with a long speech froni the Priniate, in which he pointed out the importance of the questions to be discussed, ex horted his hearers to be united and trustful, and expressed the hope that they would "suc ceed in reconciling the autonomy with the principles of the Church."--Pall Mall Gazette. MEETING -OE-AnSltop,%4 ,N_ GER I,,t,ii.Ny The Wehnar Gazette tells its that about the middle of September a meeting of German Catholic Bishops is to take place in Fulda, on which occasion the principal subject of delibe ration will be the appriing Council. "The relations' between the State and the Catholic Church in Germany," says the journal above mentioned, "bad assumed a pretty peaceful as pect, but it may be fearlessly asserted that at the present time in Rome very little stress is laid on the continuation of this good under standing. Recent events in Wurtemburg, Baden and Bavaria, furnish ample proofs that the Curia is far from being disinclined to re open the old contest between the Church anti State, and if we are to judge by what has al ready transpired, a new struggle may be confi dently anticipated if the bishops do not suc ceed in overruling the tendencies which are now predominant in Rome. It is the especial duty ,and vocation of the German bishops, if they are actuated by real patriotism and true Christianity, to raise their voices in Fulda twainst plans and aspirations cherished beyond tie Alps, butt which are pregnant with the ele ments ofdisorder and revolution.

The idea of thus commemorating the princely benevolence of Mr., Peabody, the fame of which has become world-wide, origi nated in the mayoralty of Sir Benjamin Phillips, and has since been gradually carried into practical effect by a small committee of gentlemen, of which he is tile Chair Man. Toward the object about £3,000 has been spontaneously subscribed, ir respective of the Site, which is of great value, and which the Committee and the public owe to - a graceful aet, of Corporations and - : - the Bishop of London, acting conjointly.

A Clever Lunatic. The intellectual activity of a certain class of hmaties is curiously illustrated iit the report on the lunatic asylum in Ireland which has been printed and laid before Parliament. A man named Joseph Longfrey escaped from the Central Asylum with two other patients, none Of the parties being looked upon,,as„ lunatics by the medical ()Meets although confined there as n 'al lunatics. SIP. Longfrey was the leader of the fugitives, and is described as being an extraordinary clever and ingenious man. Ile could do things (mite beyond what inert in - . intend can perform, and his cleverness was even exceeded by 'his versatility. He was a good shoemaker, a tailor, a weaver. lie made from a scrap of iron a key by which he could open the door of his division. Ile put together a- wooden'sewing machine Of hiS - own - Con-: trivance, with 'which he 'made clothes for him self; and pia Mind just before his escape seemed SO intent on improving the machine that there was' little. apprehension of his attempting escape. Ills career, it is stated, before he cattle; to the asylum, was most extraordinary. He had been in the British army, in the . French fumy,* and in the 'French navy, and had been in German and Russian prisonS.' • • He had a fair grammatical knowledge of French, knew something of German, and was completely Self-taught ; his age, although he had passed the various • phases of existence :above described, was only twenty-seven. Ile 6pbke reasonably,the great defect in his character being a haleness purpose . lle had that rambling disposition that is never sated with travel and• adventure, and if his principles were good and upright lie would in all probabilitY have had a distinguished career in life.
