LEGISLATION OF THE "REFORMED" PARLIAMENT.

THOUGII much has been said in praise of the forms of the House of Commons, as insuring scrutiny of the measures passed, experi- ence proves that these forms are nugatory when it stuts the con- venience of Ministers and Metnbers to hurry thr -ugh the Parlia- mentary business. To give some idea of the rate at which legislation has been galloping in the House of Commons during the last few days, we copy from the Vote-paper of Monday and Ttietala, an account of the business transacted, exclusive of the Presentation of petitions, and the mere postponement of bills.

• The very cairn, we had almost said sobering tone of Sir WitatANt STOLES. WORTH'S excellent address to the Electors of Ltit.d., whirl, appears in our ad- tttiing columns, should confirm the Mornilli Post in his view of the state of Public reefing as to what is called Reform or Organic change.

Jamaica—Address for "Copies or Extracts of Correspondence between the Secretary of State and the Governor of Jamaica, relating to the removal of Dr. Palmer from the office of Special Magistrate in Jamaica."—(Mr Fowell Buxton. ) Exclusive of what may be considered mere acts. of registra,;on --the forwarding of bills through formal stages—we have here a vast amount of important business of a public nature tea nsacted and the-item " Supply Committee," &c. is intended Ibr the recoid of about a hundred different grunts of money in the Miscellaneous 'Estimates, amounting to about two millions sterling. But with respect to the Private Bills, under cover of w hicli much injustice as well as jobbing is annually committed, of what use is their pas- sage through so many stages in the whole House, if not to give an opportunity of ascertaining what bad been done by the packed Committees which "report" thcm ? But there are scarcely a dozen instances in a session of any thicg like an attempt to remedy in the House the wrongs sanctioned by a Committee up stairs. Our list will give some vague notion of the kind of business transacted ; but what imagination keeps pace with the speed at which it is got through? During the first four nights of the week, the House sat for twenty-eight hours altogether, and per- formed 430 distinct acts; which is at the rate of 3 minutes 54 se- conds to each. Among these acts, were alterations via great variety of important laws, and the grant of a very large sum of el. ney. This is called " getting through business." The Rotten Borough House of Commons, in the most reckless days cf PITT or CASTLEREAGH, is surpassed by the " Reformed."
