EveT since I pondered over that pompous sen tence of Blackstone’s, eulogistic of the House of Lords, “ that the nobility are the pillars which are reared from among the people, more immediately to support tho throne, and if that falls, they must be buried under its ruins,” 1 longed to view with mine ' own eyes the appearanoe of these important props of English royalty, assembled in their own chamber. .* • - «• - ’ The munificenoe attd pride of the'nation have, as I have shown in a previous communication, af forded a fitting place for the deliberations of this important body of legislators. With Spartan sim plicity, the House of. Commons refused the'glare and gUtter With which the architect desired to or nameht tho chamber in which they were to assem ble, while they did not hesitate to vouchsafe, to him.a loose rein for .his fancy in decoraUng the House of Lords. And he appears to have filled up the full measure of his privilege, and surrounded it with a magnificent gorgeousneas, which reminds ono of eastern magnificence, or recalls the splendor of the Moorish Alhambra. - , ’ I must confess to a feeling. of.disappointment upon first seeing the House of Lords in session. In no respeot.did it compare with our Senate, when in its palmiest days, and I am not certain, whether it would even compare with that body, ndw. in its decline. If I hod ever formed.any very exalted opinion of the appearance.of-a “live lord,” it was most quickly dissipated upon looking in upon this assemblage- of the, aristocracy for the first time. Ifi running my eye over the" crowd, it was with difficulty I .could single out .more than three or four remarkable for their appearance of physi cal or intellectual vigor- It was in striking con trast to tho House of Commons, where one is,struck with the physique and'intellectual appearance pf most of the members. .There is the mark of veri table brain in the Commons, which you look for in vain among the assembled lords. Of the Bench of Bishops, the only one that looked “The Baron ” was the Bishop of Oxford— Slippery Sam, as his enemiesnickname him on account of his’adroitnoss, I suppose, in keeping just this side of . Rome, ono or ■ two of his brothers having gone entirely over; and, it is said by those who profess to know, that he too has a.strong hankering for “ The Scarlet Woman! ’ ’ He is the son of the Evangelical Wilberforce, the philanthrophist and Christian; audit is strange, with their antecedents, that the sons should all be the very opposite 6f the father, who, if anything, would have evangelized the Church of England to the simplicity of faith and worship professed only by Dissenters. But let the Bishop of Oxford’s proclivities be wbat they may. he certainly is, physically and intellectually, an ornament to his order, and looks more the Peer than all the tem poral nobles round him, with the blood of. all the Howards in their veins. * The rest of the Hie rarchy, at least those I was permitted to seo upon the Bench of Bishops, cut rather a sorry figure, and called up in memory that band of old women in red, the Cardinals, who, on State occasions, totter on after Pope Pius in the long-drawn aisle of St. Peter’s at Rome. The! Lords spiritual of the House are the Arch bishops and Bishops of the Church of England, with delegates from the Protestant Church of Ire land. ‘Striotly speaking, their object is muoh more limited than that of the Lords temporal, for although they take precedence as temporal Barons, yet they do it rather by a fiotion of law than by anything approaching to reality. A temporal Peer is understood to occupy his seat in the House in consequence of his ancestry, and to leave the suc ' cession to his heirs, whereas an Archbishop or Bishop has neithor ancestor, or heir, as far as his position in the House isconcerned. They are sim ply tho representatives of tho clergy, and although they may take share in all the legislative and ju dicial ftmotions of the temporal Peers, their natural function is watching over the interests of thatbody, of which they are the legitimate representatives. We turn from the Bench of Bishops in their , ]awn sleeves to the Chancellor, the presiding officer of tho House, who aita there with bis capa cious wig and the lower, part of his body half - buried in tho woolsack, looking in his serenity for all the world like, a Brahmin at his devotions. The Lord Chancellor’s office is no sinecure, and his duties are infinitely more onerous now than those which this offloer was c&Ued upon to fulfil *■' even .*v few years ago- * The great question of law ... reform, embracing as it does so many particular ’ topios, has now become in England a popular cry, and.Adminiatrations and publlo men rest their claims to the support of the country at large upon their merits os sound, efficient, and practical law reformers. , - In former times, and in fact up to a very recen .period, the ’Lord Chancellor Is said tohave been so ' much over- worked as a judge, and as aMinister of State, that he could hardly pay that attention; to | questions of law reftrin which his high position at j the head of the profession, imperatively demanded j of him. The Coprtof Appeal in Chancery has there fore recently been established, which has 'relieved this officer from somewhat of his duties, but it only gives hi to time and opportunity to attend to others. It is wonderful how this. officer, can in any Way satisfactorily discharge the demands made on his time. He not only has to attend the House as. its . Speaker, and a judge In the last resort, but, in addi tion to these duties, behaa to act as Minister; of Stote r to attend cabinet councils, to preside in the - Judicial Committeeof tho Privy Council, to regulate the magistracy of the country, to bestow livings, , (an incident of office which he holds as . keeper of the royal conscience,) and to give such passing at tention , as these exactions on bis time will permit to the framing of acts of Parliament affecting the legal institutions of the country . 1 With such mbltifaribus and various duties, Ino man of ordinary intellectual calibre and industry could hold the position a single.week without ma nifesting hia glaring incapacity. The first mipds of the kingdom are alone equal to the task—3qcb minds os those of Eldon, Lyndhunt, Brougham,, Cottenham, and Cranworth. i Lord Cranworth, the present Chancellor, is a man near on to seventy, and boars tho marM levsre labor upon his wrinkled front. He flilod, 1 of course, Some of the most important and responsi ble offices in his profession before reaching the woolsack. Having elevated hhzlself tb' his present -'exalted position by ability and honest industry, he is consolidating his reputation by rfralljngjhis great predecessor, who, like himself, ipruDg.from the ranks of tho people-, who has reformed ‘ the Court of Chancery, made justice cheap, . and equity something more in reality.than a mere name. Close at the side of the wool sack, (a position often caricatured by Puvch,) sat, or rather I should say crouched, tho. man .of all the men, ennobled or not, I most de sired to see, Henry, Lord Brougham, a Peer, not' by right of inheritance, but by right of intellect. Tho resources of this man are truly wonderful, and one. might almost imagine that he bad realised ibe .ancient Scythian fable,.by killing the fore most man in. every department of science, and possessing himsclfof all their intellectual strength. It matters not what the sabjeot is, however sab time or however common place, however abstruse or however practical, Brougham knows it, and knows it completely. Others may rival, and one or two may excel him, in the oequirenient of some single branch of learning, but there is no man. more thoroughly conversant wijjh the whole circle of.soience. In addition to this, he turns the science of to-day to more practical account than any other speaker; and his speeches are admirable as -lectures upon philosophy, upon literature, politics, and the arts. - ; But ,the Brougham of to-day whatever his in tellectuality, has nothing'to boast of, either in his physique or the expression of his oountenanoe. No one looking at that low wrinkled brow, that 'shocking turned-up nose, With a squareness of nos tril which. even punch cannot and has not half ’ oaficatared, and that expresalonlepp month, would ever single him ont from' the common herd of men; ", and yet there he crouohes by the woolsaok of the , .’' Chancellor—world-renowned uf* jurist, philosopher, ‘ f ’ r ,oraiot,.jii%td B .iShn, efi,ln theekaet mlumm 4 per ;.- -feet walking EneyelopmdU.

Ho is no orator, but honest and patriotic ; nouo more cautious as u politician, and uouo moro distin guished by inflexible integrity and strong common sense. Noble as ho is, he does not look the Peer, and yet blood pure from, the Norman conquest flows In his veins. He is a descendant of those Gordons who, in the great rebellion, stood up so bravely for the King, and suffered so fearfully in the after per secutions. • In more modern times those Gordons seem to have mellowed down from the principles of their' ancestors, sufficiently to become good friends to the revolutionary settlement, and even so far conformed to the temper of the times, that they abandoned the Episcopal form of religion, for whloh old Gordon of Faddo died, and joined the Presbyterian Churoh, of whioh the present Earl, I was told, is a conscientious member, being the first Prime Minister of England, sinoe the revolution, that has not been a member of the Episcopal Churoh It was Aberdeen who persuaded Murat to forsake his old master, and won him to deolare for the Allies. Aberdeen belongs to that class of statesmen in England who have ever opposed the principles sought to be established by “ The Holy Alliance.” In all the political acts of his life ho has evor shown that he believed in the principle of tho non interference with the internal affairs of foreign States. But this principle he soems to understand differently from Lord Palmerston. By the latter, non-intervention meant abstinence from tukiog up armß on behalf of any one of contending parties; it did not prevent interference, by advice, en couragement, and in every possible way short of actual warlike assistance; by the former, non-intor ference meant what it exactly professed to bo, an absolute neutrality between tho contending parties. In person this distinguished statesman is rather above the middle size, of a spare figure, and equally sedate In his garb and bearing, llis stylo of speak ing is entirely destitute of graoe, and with a con siderable dash of formality about it. while his tones are somewhat monotonous. Rusticits* White studying the features of Aberdeen I was startled by the tones of a voice, broad with the most unmistakable Scotch aocent, and turning my eyes to the side opposite where ' I was standing, found that it proceeded frem n light-haired, youth ful Peer, who was no less a personage than the Duke of. Argyle. The Duke is one of the young est member*, and for his year* amongst the ablest of the Peers. He comes from the numerous clan of Campbells, whose history is so intimately bound up with that of Scotland, and occupies as large a space os that of Douglas. Although he has distin guished himself iu the debates npon many nubjects, his chief power appears to lie in polemical discus sions. When the Papal aggressions assumed such an alarming position in 185), the Duke of Argyle took part in the discussion of the measures brought forward to meet it. Indeed, some of tho movements of the Protestant side appear to have been as dis tasteful to him as those of thePopo and Cardinal Wiseman. When, for instance, the Bishop of Ox ford summoned his clergy, and laid before them a protest against the Papal usurpation, couched in a stylo whioh favored rather of the protensions of a rival Pope than of a Protestant prelate, tho Duke of Argyle published a letter addressed to him, re buking the arrogance of his assumptions, and paint ing out tho inconsistency of his pretensions with tho true position of the Protestant Chnrcb. This young Duke is said to have achieved also quite a reputation in the scientific world, having devoted a large portion of his time to the study of practical geology/and with considerable success. His style of speaking is good, and he appears to hare a ready fluency, whioh is by no means a characteristic of a majority of the speakers of either Honso. The only thing that marred its efficacy appeared to mo to be rather a broad Scotch accent, which gave a harshness to the tones of his voice. Tho Duke was followed in the debate by tho Duke of New Castle in a short speech, but so indistinctly delivered that it was impossible to catch his mean:* ing. His manner was decidedly slovenly. This nobleman has occupied no inconsiderable spaoe in the political history of the country, when his youth is token into the account, and I was very much disappointed with his manner and matter. I be lieve he is among the richest noblemen in the kingdom. Lord Stanley, the eldest son of Lord Derby, fol- lowed in a very passionate speech. He is a young man. who has had considerable training in the lower House, and his cool, collected manner made it manifest—but his votee is shocking. Punch eaidof him lately, ‘ ‘ that he was a Demosthenes, who kept the pebhlos in his month,” and it is a very good description of a very dreadful voice, which grates most harshly upon the car. He has an awkward way of gesticulating with his head, which has a very ludicrous appearance to a strauger. I was disappointed 1 in not seeing Lords Lynd* hurst and Dorby, who were not in the House on this evening. It is said that an intelligent French man being once asked, after having attended the sittings of both Houses, wbat ho thought the differ ence between them, replied: “The difference be tween the House of Commons and the House of Lords is, that in the House of Commons half the Deputies hare small heads, and in the House of Deputies all the Deputies have small headsand this peculiarity struck me. I know small heads are a beauty, as also a;e small extremities— small hoads, too, like small ears, are evidences of breed, or of wtot Is called blood; but is not this refinement, wfeloh is the characteristic of all idle classes, a proof of mental degeneracy? The man who founds a house must be a first-rate uian, and his characteristics continue* long through his race; but as soon as the house gets settled, It gets dull, strength only coming after a struggle, brains with labor. Clever men have seldom clover sons. Some aristocracies hold out a great while. The Ro mans and the French kept themselves fighting,and in tolerably good mental order, until the Marius and the Richelieu period, when it became a fashion to be not heroes, but dandies. How far tho English aristocracy have degenerated it is not for me to say; but from recent revelations made in the London newspapers, some of the titled names of England have not proved themselves worthy of their ancestral name ; and it is a significant fact that most all the talent of the English House of Beers belongs to its self-made men—the Brough ams, Lyndhursts, and Cranworths, who are Peers by right of intellect.

A faithful expounder of the truth to the young fiook asked one of his scholars In an English Snn* dny-school the following question: “If he (the teacher) was tho‘root,’ what was he (thoseholar)?'’ to whioh he replied, with child-like simplicity, “the •young shoot!” Paddy was summoned to court for refusing to pay a doctor’s bill.

Queen Elizabeth, admiring the elegance of the Marquis de Medina, a Spanish nobleman, compli mented him on it, begging at the same time to know who possessed the heart of so accomplished a cavaiiefc. “ Madam,” said he, 41 a lover risks too much on such an occasion; but your Majesty’s will is law.' Excuse me, however, if I fear to name her, but request yopr Majesty’s acceptance of her por trait.” He sent her a looking-glass. A grand melo-dr&matic spectacle was being re hearsed in the Park Theatre a few years since; in which a magnificent carydrawn by horses, was to make its appearance on the stage, through a trap door. Mr. Manager S— supervised in person the rehearsal. Tho period arrived when the horses should appear dragging the gilded oar; tho Btage was dctoined—the actors impatient—tho manager wrathful, demanding in a loud voice of the man whose business it was to see all right below, in the regions of* mystery and enchantment, why he de layed (he car. “ Somebody hoscut the traces, sir.” “Cut the traces?” asked the manager; why, no body had access there today hut yourself.” “ They wasn’t cut with axes, sir; they vas cut with a knife!” Mr. Biddle was a wit as well as a financier. Daring the session of the Legislature of Pennsyl vania In the year 184—, a bill was up appropri ating & large sum for continuing tho State improve ments. Mr. H., of Berks, an honest German member, was very hostile to the bill, and iu fact opposed to all state improvements, as they in volved such an expenditure of money. He knew the wishes of his constituents, but bis general knowledge was rather limited. While the bill was under consideration, Mr. Biddle of the city moved an amendment, appropriating $lO,OOO for the im provement of ill* Alimentary Canal, The mem ber from Berks was instantly upon his feet, de claring his purpose to oppose any appropriation for the Alimentary or any other canal—declaring ■the appropriation to be unnecessary and against the wishes of tho people. Tho amendment was instantly withdrawn, amidst the general mirth of the members, at the expense of the honest member from Berks.

These Furnaces are constrnoted with a cast Iron aßb pit, and a broad, shallow pan-shaped fire pot, lined with fire-brick or iron staves. The fire pot is surmount ed with A SERIES OF CONES, oa TAPERING RADIATORS, large and broad at their base, but tapering to small aper tures at tho top, and uniting with tho anular chomper, through which the heat and smoke pass to the flue. Tub wholk products of combustion in the. form of vmofce and oases, &t© suspended direct! v over the fire, confined or compressed into the tapering Cokes ana continually exposed to the direct action of the rays of heat and light from the fire. This heat and light is brought to a rooos in SAOU Cone, not unlike the COLLECTION OF TIIE SUN'S RAYS, to a focal point through an ordinary lens, causing the smoke and o.ißEs to become intensely heated and tho roughly consumed, by this operation the suoxn and oases are made equally available with the fuel itself forheatiag purposes, while, in other furnaces, it is CARRIED OFF AND WASTED IN TUB OHIKNEY. All persous desirous of obtaining the best and MOST ECONOMICAL HEATING APPARATUS, should not fail to examine the New Gab Consuming Cone Fdbnaoe, before purchasing any other.

(-IHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE.— / TJIEILLINOISOENTBAL RAILROAD COM PANT la now prepaid to fell about 1,600,000 acres of choice Farming lauds, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards, ou ong credits, and at low rates of interest. These lands were granted by the Government to aid In the construction of this ifo&d, and are among the richest and most fertile iu the world. They extend from North-East and North-West, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and include every variety of climate and productions found between those parallels of latitude. The Northern portion Is chiefly prairie, interspersed with flue groves, and in the middle and Southern sections tinibor predominates, alternating with beautiful prairies and openings. The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any other part of the country—the air is pure ana bra cing, white living streams and springs of excellent water abound. Bituminous Coat is extensively mined, and supplies a cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many points at $2 to $4 per tou—and wood can be had at the same rate per cord. Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds, which can be procured for little more than the expeuae of transportation. ThC great fertility of these lands, which are a black rich mould, from two to live feet deep, and gently roll ing; their contiguity to this road, by which every lacl litv is furnished for travel and transportation to the principal markets North, South. East, West, and the economy with ttliich they can be cultivated, render them the most valuable Investment that can be found, aud present tho most favorable opportunity for persons of industrious habits and Amall means to acquire a com foi table independence in a few years. Ob kago is uow the greatest gram market lathe world; and tho facility aud economy with which tho products of these lands cap bo transported to that market, make them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than those moro remote at government rates, as the addi tional cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter, which must bo borne by the producer; in the re duced price he receives for his grain, tec.
