BULWER IN PARLIAMENT.—The Liverpool Journal gives an interesting account of the great debate in Parliament on the question of enlisting foreigners in the English service. Speaking of Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, the Journal says:

"I think Sir Bulwer Lytton is the most ridiculous-looking man, with his horse nose, and his blue saucer eyes, in her Majesty's dominions; and his bow-wow voice drives one into hysterics of fidgetiness; and his gestures—oh! his gestures; conceive Cassandra being dogmatic in a state of delirium tremens. The impression for the first five minutes of his oratory is awful; you see members dusting their faces with their handkerchiefs, screwing their persons to their benches, and keeping their eyes off the door that looks so tempting an escape from the tremendous baronet. But genius asserts itself, and one forgets the tremendous baronet in the man whose very grotesqueness but proves his grand originality; and forgetting the manner in the matter—when it is good, as on Tuesday—the house cheers. Sir Edward sat down, on that night, with a parliamentary success; having achieved that, he is celebrated for his pertinacity, which he has been twenty years striving for; and as I watched him passing along the lobby to dinner, amid unreserved congratulations, I came to the conclusion that that was the happiest moment of a career which, though leafy with laurels, has, perhaps, been a very melancholy life."
