With the exception of the Penny-postage, a measure alike needed

by the rich and educated as by the poor and ignorant, this session has done absolutely nothing for the great mass of the community. If it end thus, neither Chartist broils nor Peerage hostility will redeem the Go- vernment from the results of bitter disappointment. Their reinstate- ment in office, in May last, was a rational ground of expectancy. Some higher duty was then devolved upon them than that of merely mud- dling through the remainder of the session. There is yet time, and barely time, to apply themselves to it, so as to put themselves in better sympathy with the community. lint neglect and disappointment have been protracted, like the idleness in the parable, till the eleventh hour is striking. —Morning Chronicle.
