preferable one.
The House of Commons was occupied to-night and the following night with a
debate upon the American Enlistment Question. An Irish nobody, named Moore,
who commits abusive speeches to memory, and utters them with some energy,
moved a resolution to the effect that Ministers deserved to be censured for their
conduct. The discussion was not lively, for no one was the least, in earnest. The
beat speeches were the Attorney-General's anH Mr. Gladstone's, and the
latter, after cutting the Ministers to pieces, went out and voted for them. The
plain English of the case is, that we wanted recruits, and that tbe Americans and
our Government here knew perfectly well that Mr. Crampton was to get them if
he could. Eor a long time no notice was taken of the matter; but, as Pierce's j BIRDS AND BURDENS
